Abstract
A concrete slatted floor structure comprising an elongate concrete slab having a pair of elongate, edge portions (1, 2) of tapering, substantially trapezoidal section, with the area (3) between the edge portions (1, 2) of reduced depth and provided with a plurality of drainage slots (4). The slot is also provided with a projection (8) and reinforcing bars (6). <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Improvements in and relating to concrete structures for floors
This invention relates to concrete structures for floors and particularly to a concrete slatted floor structure for cattle and the like.
Previously, it has been proposed to provide a concrete slatted floor structure for a building intended to house cattle, said structure being formed of slotted beams each spanning a distance between two supports of approximately 2 2 to 3 metres, each slotted beam being of bifurcated form in section and comprising a planar upper surface with a pair of spaced depending portions each of tapering substantially trapezoidal form, extending throughout the length of the beam and having a pair of longitudinal slots formed centrally along the upper planar surface for drainage purposes, the slots communicating with the space formed between the two depending portions.
According to the present invention there is provided a concrete slatted floor structure comprising an elongate concrete slab having a pair of spaced, parallel, longitudinal edge portions of tapering, substantially trapezoidal form in section with the area between the edge portions of reduced depth compared with the depth of the edge portions, the area of reduced depth being formed with a plurality of spaced slots extending between the edge portions in a direction transverse to the longitudinal edge portions and having a length substantially less than the length of the longitudinal edge portions.
The invention is shown by way of example only in the accompanying drawings wherein
Figure 1 is a side elevational sectional view of the floor structure;
Figure 2 is a plan view of the structure and
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the lines A-A of Figure 1.
The floor structure comprises a concrete slab having a pair of elongate, edge portions 1, 2, of tapering, substantially trapezoidal section, as shown in Figure 1, the edge portions 1, 2, being supported on support members (not shown) of the building housing the floor structure, and the area 3 between the edge portions 1, 2, being of reduced depth and provided with a plurality of spaced slots 4 extending transversely to the direction of the longitudinal edge portions 1, 2, the slots 4 providing drainage facilities for the slab.
As shown in Figure 1 , the longitudinal edge portions 1, 2, are of varying taper whilst the area 3 between the edge portions as shown in Figure 3, is formed of a plurality of spaced trapezoidal sections 5, each pair of adjacent sections 5 defining a slot 4 therebetween and the depth of the sections 5 being less than that of the edge portions 1, 2. Tie bars 6 extend between the edge portions 1, 2, and further tie bars 7 extend between adjacent sections 5. Adjacent slabs are arranged as shown in Figures 1 and 2 with one edge portion 2 formed with a projection 8 arranged in abutting relationship with the edge portion 1 of the adjacent slab.
The arranqement of the present invention provides a slatted concrete floor construction which is easier to manufacture than the previously known structure and which provides improved drainage facilities, since the total area of the slots 4 is greater than with the previously known arrangement. A considerable economy in material is achieved with better drainage facilities by virtue of the reduced section of material between the edge portions of the slab. The weight of the slab is reduced without affecting the strength thereof.
It will be appreciated that the invention is susceptible to considerable modification and is not to be deemed limited to the particular constructional features shown and described by way of example. For instance the section of the slats may be varied from the regular trapezoidal section shown to further improve the drainage.
1. A concrete slatted floor structure comprising an elongate concrete slab having a pair of spaced, parallel, longitudinal edge portions of tapering, substantially trapezoidal form in section with the area between the edge portions of reduced depth compared with the depth of the edge portions, the area of reduced depth being formed with a plurality of spaced slots extending between the edge portions in a direction transverse to the longitudinal edge portions and having a length substantially less than the length of the longitudinal edge portions.
2. A concrete slatted floor structure as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the longitudinal edge portions are each of varying taper.
3. A concrete slotted floor structure as claimed in Claim 1 or 2, wherein the area between the longitudinal edge portions is formed of a plurality of spaced sections, each pair of adjacent sections defining a slot therebetween and the depth of said spaced sections being less than that of said edge portions.
4. A concrete slatted floor structure as claimed in Claim 3, wherein each of said spaced sections is of trapezoidal form.
5. A concrete slatted floor structure as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein tie bars extend between the edge portions.
6. A concrete slatted floor structure as claimed in Claim 3 or 4, wherein tie bars extend between adjacent ones of said spaced sections.
7. A concrete slatted floor structure as claimed
