Abstract
A floor assembly comprises at least two adjacent panels, which are each provided with ribs extending at least along sides of the panel. At least one rib is provided with at least one opening extending through the rib, through which a securing element extends for securing ribs extending parallel to each other of said adjacent panels together.
Description
- The invention relates to a floor assembly comprising at least two adjacent panels, which are each provided with ribs extending at least along sides of the panel, at least one rib being provided with at least one opening extending through the rib, through which a securing element extends for securing ribs extending parallel to each other of said adjacent panels together.
- The invention also relates to a panel suitable for such a floor assembly.
- In such an assembly, which is known from Canadian patent CA-586,557, the ribs and the beams extend on the underside of the panel, so that installing pipes and cables in the spaces located between the beams and the ribs and through the beams and the ribs is a laborious process, because the cables and pipes must be prevented from sagging under the influence of the force of gravity. The beams and the ribs are identical to each other, so that the mechanical behaviour of the floor assembly obtained at the location of the secured-together ribs of adjacent panels is different from that obtained at the location of the beams.
- The object of the invention is to provide an improved floor assembly, in which the above-described drawbacks are obviated.
- This object is accomplished with the floor assembly according to the invention in that each panel at the upper side thereof is furthermore provided with at least one beam extending parallel to the ribs, which beam is provided with a channel extending transversely to the beam, whilst the beam and the two secured-together ribs of adjacent panels are of substantially identical construction for uniformly supporting a finishing floor supported by the ribs and the beam.
- The beam strengthens the panel, whilst cables and/or pipes may extend through the channel in the beam. The cables and/or pipes are supported on the panel in that case.
- Passages in the ribs and the channel in the beam are preferably in line with each other, so that laying the cables or the pipes through the ribs and beams is relatively easy.
- The ribs are secured together and pulled together by means of the securing element, so that a strong connection between two adjacent panels is realised.
- Since each panel is provided with ribs on two sides extending parallel to each other, it is possible to position a number of panels beside each other and connect said panels together in pairs.
- Since the beam and the two secured-together ribs of adjacent panels are of substantially identical construction, the mechanical behaviour of the floor assembly near the beam is substantially the same as the mechanical behaviour of the two secured-together ribs of adjacent panels. As a result, a finishing floor present at the upper side of the panels is optimally supported by the ribs and the beam. Furthermore, it is thus possible to optimise the amount of material required for the ribs and the beams, so that a constructionally equivalent construction of the beam and the two secured-together ribs is obtained while using a minimum amount of material.
- Such a constructional equivalence can be obtained, for example, if the beam has the same length and height as a rib, but a thickness substantially twice that of a rib. Since the ribs are secured together by means of securing elements, which affect the mechanical behaviour of two secured-together ribs, the ribs may have a width which is not exactly half the width of a beam. The optimum dimensions both of the beam and of the ribs may be determined by experiment or by theoretic modelling.
- It is noted that in a floor assembly which is known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,546,830, a number of panels are positioned adjacent to each other, whilst ribs of two adjacent panels extend parallel to each other. The ribs are present on an underside of the panels. Each panel is bevelled on a side remote from the ribs, so that a V-shaped groove is formed between two adjacent panels. Said V-shaped groove is filled with concrete for the purpose of attaching the adjacent, panels together.
- A drawback of such a floor assembly is that concrete needs to be poured upon placement of the panels. If the concrete does not fill the V-shaped grooves completely, an uneven upper surface is obtained, whilst the poured concrete forms a projection on the panels if too much concrete is poured into the V shaped grooves.
- One embodiment of the floor assembly according to the invention is characterised in that at least the ribs of adjacent panels are each provided with at least one opening extending through the ribs, whilst the securing element extend through opposed openings of ribs adjacent to each other.
- After the panels have been positioned adjacent to each other, the securing element can be passed through the opposed openings and subsequently the panels can be secured together by means of a securing element.
- Another embodiment of the floor assembly according to the invention is characterised in that the securing element comprises at least one bolt extending through the openings and a nut screwed onto said bolt.
- The securing element may also comprise at least one stud and nuts screwed onto the two ends of said stud.
- Such a bolt or stud can be readily passed through the opposed openings, whereupon the panels can be pulled tightly together by tightening (a) nut(s).
- Another embodiment of the floor assembly according to the invention is characterised in that each opening tapers off in the direction of the associated panel, whilst the securing element comprises a conical element which is located in said tapered openings.
- The conical element causes the panels to be aligned relative to each other upon being pulled against each other, thereby precisely positioning the panels relative to each other.
- Yet another embodiment of the floor assembly according to the invention is characterised in that the securing element is connected to a rib of a first panel with one side, whilst the securing element extends through an opening in a rib of the adjacent second panel.
- The securing element does not extend through the two ribs of adjacent panels, but it is connected to a rib of a first panel, which was realised during production of the panel, for example. A strong connection between the two adjacent panels is then realised by positioning the opening in the rib of the adjacent second panel over the securing element.
- Yet another embodiment of the floor assembly according to the invention is characterised in that the rib is provided with a passage extending transversely through the rib.
- Cables or pipes can be passed through the passage extending through the rib.
- Yet another embodiment of the floor assembly according to the invention is characterised in that a support extending transversely to the rib is located between the ends of the rib and the beam or another rib.
- The rib and the support preferably lie in a plane on a side remote from the panel, so that a wall can be positioned on the rib and/or the support in a simple manner. The rib and the support preferably extend on an upper side of the panel.
- Another embodiment of the floor assembly according to the invention is characterised in that the rib is provided with a recess near one end thereof.
- In such a recess, a cable duct can be provided in a simple manner, for example.

FIGS. 1-5 show apanel 1 according to the invention, which comprises aconcrete slab 2,concrete ribs 3 extending along two sides of saidconcrete slab 2 and aconcrete beam 4 extending between theribs 3. Theslab 2, theribs 3 and thebeam 4 are preferably formed as an integral whole. Eachrib 3 is provided with a number ofopenings 5 extending transversely through theribs 3 and withpassages 6 located between said openings, which extend transversely through theribs 3. - The
openings 5 taper off from a side remote from thebeam 4 to a side that faces the beam 4 (seeFIG. 4 ). Thebeam 4 is provided withchannels 7 extending transversely through thebeam 4, which channels are coaxial with thepassages 6 in theribs 3.Concrete supports 8 are located between ends of theribs 3 and thebeam 4, which supports lie in the same plane, on a side remote from theslab 2, as the sides of theribs 3 and theslab 4 remote from theslab 2. - The floor assembly according to the invention further comprises securing
elements 9, which each comprise aconical element 10 and astud 11 extending through theconical element 10.Washers 12 andnuts 13 can be attached to the two ends of thestud 11. To form a floor, apanel 1 is placed on a support with the ends of theribs 3 and thebeam 4, which are preferably located on an upper side of theslab 2. Following that, ends of thestuds 11 are inserted in the direction indicated by the arrow P1 into theopenings 5 of therib 3 of the panel being placed, until theconical element 10 abuts against thetapered opening 5. Asecond panel 1 is then positioned beside thepanel 1 that is already in place, and thestuds 11 are passed through theopenings 5 of therib 3 that faces thepanel 1 that is already in place.Washers 12 andnuts 13 are attached to both ends of thestuds 11. Theribs 3 are moved together and secured together by tightening the nuts 13. Theconical element 10 effects an alignment in horizontal direction is effected, as a result of which the ends of theribs 3 are positioned in one plane. At the same time an alignment in vertical direction is taking place, as a result of which the undersides 14 (seeFIG. 4 ) are positioned in one and the same plane. - When
adjacent panels 1 are secured together, afloor assembly 15 as shown inFIG. 3 is obtained. In thefloor assembly 15 thus formed, thechannels 6 in theribs 3 likewise extend coaxially (seeFIG. 5 ). - After the
floor assembly 5 has been formed, cables and pipes can be laid on theslabs 2 through theopenings 6 and thechannels 7 across the entire floor assembly. Following that, a preferably removable, finishingfloor 16 is laid on the floor assembly 15 (seeFIGS. 6-8 ). - Preferably, strips 17 are located between the finishing
floor 16 and theribs 3 and thebeam 4, which strips separate theribs 3 and thebeam 4 on the one hand and the finishingfloor 16 on the other hand acoustically and/or thermally from each other. Thebeam 4 and theribs 3 secured together by means of the securingelements 9 have a width B and b, respectively. Said widths B, b have been determined by experiment or theoretically, such that thebeam 4 and the secured-together ribs, which have anoverall width 2b, will exhibit substantially the same mechanical behaviour. - When the short end sides of the
panels 1 extending transversely to theribs 3 are positioned on a separation between two spaces, it is possible to position a wall on thesupports 8 and the ends of thebeam 4 and theribs 3 after the placement of thefloor assembly 15. -
FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of apanel 21 according to the invention, which is different from thepanel 1 in that theribs 3, thebeam 4 and theslab 2 are provided withtubes 22 extending in the longitudinal directions of theribs 3 and thebeam 4, in which cables or pipes can be laid. - The
tubes 22 are provided in theslab 2 near theribs 3 and thebeam 4. -
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of apanel 31 according to the invention, which is different from thepanel 21 in that thetubes 22 are provided in theslab 2 between theribs 3 and thebeam 4.Such tubes 22 may be used as climate control pipes, for example. -
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of apanel 41 according to the invention, which is different from thepanel 1 in that theribs 3 and thebeam 4 are provided withrecesses supports 8, in which recesses a cable duct may be provided, for example. - According to another possibility, the
supports 8 are integral with the rest of thepanel 1. - It is possible to provide the ribs with a fire-resistant seal at the long sides and the short sides.
- It is possible to provide the
ribs 3 and thebeams 4 with an acoustic separation layer or a sound-absorbing layer on a side remote from theslab 2. - It is also possible to anchor one end of a
stud 11 in a rib, with the other end of thestud 11 extending through an opening in an adjacent rib. - The
stud 11 may also be movable with respect to theconical element 10, in which case thestud 11 has been moved so far into theconical element 10 upon positioning the panels beside each other that thestud 11 does not form a projection. After said positioning, thestud 11 can be passed through theconical element 10 and theopening 5 of theadjacent rib 3. - It is also possible to leave out the
conical element 10. - It is also possible to have the ribs extend both along the long sides and along the short sides of the
slab 2, so that the panels can be secured together both on their long sides and on their short sides. - Instead of using bolts of studs, it is also possible to secure the panels together by means of other securing elements, for example turnpin-like or pop rivet-like elements.
