<strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong> <strong>Panels</strong><br />

SCOPE<br />

This design and installation guide for <strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong> <strong>Panels</strong> is intended for use by designers, architects, engineers,<br />

building consents authorities, building owners and panel installers.<br />

It details the features and benefits of the panels, where they can be used, how they are incorporated into structures and how<br />

to design diaphragm floors and roofs with these panels.<br />

Common details are included and these can also be downloaded in CAD, .dwg, .dxf or .pdf format from the website<br />

www.supercrete.co.nz for inclusion in construction documentation and specifications.<br />

<strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong>s and Roofs compliment many <strong>Supercrete</strong> Block walled buildings, providing compatible<br />

movement, shrinkage and seismic behaviour characteristics. The same great thermal, acoustic and fire insulation properties of<br />

<strong>Supercrete</strong> can be applied to walls, roofs and floors.<br />

<strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong>s and Roofs are only a quarter of the mass of dense concrete, so they are also used in steel or<br />

concrete framed buildings, where building mass is a consideration.<br />

Lightweight <strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>Floor</strong>s and Roofs reduce the size of support members, resulting in<br />

savings throughout the structure, compared to dense concrete systems.<br />
