peer agreement (net): +2hollow core planks Explanation: The above is what I think you are referring to, having been through loads of different pages and combinations. You haven't mentioned what exactly they want to use these placas for, but if you look at the Spanish pages, these placas are multipurpose. http://www.platarecio.com/htm/prprefabricados.htm Se trata de la placa alveolar. Se usa para realizar forjados portantes de cubierta, paneles-pared verticales portantes, muros de contención, paredes de cerramiento con infinidad de acabados, tanto en la edificación industrial, comercial o residencial. http://www.hormipresa.com/placas/Default.htm La placa alveolar pretensada es un panel de hormigón pretensado, con canto constante, aligerado mediante alveolos longitudinales http://www.cirera.com/jcirera/productos/productos.htm And if you look at the English pages, they also have many uses http://www.bison.co.uk/Products/HollowCoreFloors.asp http://www.mapaprecast.org/why/hollow.html Strescon's Flexicore and Spandeck hollow core floor and roof systems offer many significant advantages to owners, architects, engineers, and contractors on all types of buildings. Whether bearing on steel, masonry, precast or cast-in-place concrete, buildings employing Strescon's Flexicore and Spandeck systems can provide economy, speed, fire safety, noise control and quality unsurpassed by other systems. http://www.strescon-ind.com/product.html ConArt hollow core plank are precast prestressed members with voids running the full length of the units to reduce both weight and cost. This particular product is used primarily for floor and roof decks in multi-story buildings, short span bridges, and wall panels. For floors, the top surface can be prepared for floor covering and the underside can be utilized as a finished ceiling by painting.(2nd ref - click back) The advantages for using hollow core plank for floors and roofs are numerous. Some of them include speed of erection, instant working deck, all weather installation, shallow sections, and durability. Hollow core planks can be used in many applications in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Hollow core planks main advantage is the speed of erection and an instant working deck. If a floor or roof is made up of joist and deck this requires the placement of two members instead of one in order to get a workable deck. With the plank the first piece of plank you set acts as a workable deck. Another advantage of using a hollow core plank system is the area that can be set in a day. In most cases our erectors can set 5,000 square feet of floor or roof deck and grout it in an 8-hour workday. http://www.northamericanprecast.com/hollow.htm Reference: http://www.nemo.es/cupre/cupre.html Reference: http://www.conartinc.com/hollowcorepics.html |
