Abstract

The specification relates to an arrangement in an intermediate floor or the base floor of a building, producing a duct system for electrical or HEPAC installations. At the end of the cored slabs (1) there is produced, by means of a supporting component (3), a transverse duct which communicates with the cores (6) of the cored slabs. The duct may also be formed by means of a channel beam which adjoins the end surfaces (5) and has openings in alignment with the cores (6). The transverse duct is preferably covered with a separate cover (4).

Claims

1. In a floor arrangement having two rows of adjacently placed cored slabs, each row of slabs defining at least one set of adjacent ends, the set of adjacent ends of one row being disposed opposite the set of adjacent ends of the other row and spaced apart to define a space between them, a common transverse component supporting the set of ends of each of the two rows, and two walls spaced apart subtending the transverse component for supporting the transverse component.

2. An arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the space between the walls and the space between the rows is connected.

3. An arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the transverse component has, in alignment with the ends of the slab rows, flanges corresponding in their height approximately to the thickness of the slabs, and that the flanges have openings communicating with at least some of the cores.

4. An arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the transverse component is made up of at least one upper steel beam and at least one lower steel beam, these beams being interconnected by means of side components through which there is a connection to the cores of the cored slabs.

5. An arrangement according to claim 4, wherein the side components are tie bars fastened by welding to the upper and lower steel beams.

6. An arrangement according to claim 4, further comprising two lower beams at an interval from each other, the beams being interconnected pg,8 by means of tie components between which there is a connection from the space between the slabs into the space between the walls beneath.
