hollowcore

Hollowcore is the ideal solution for all suspended floor applications. Available in 1200mm width units for spans to 14.0 metres

The range of precast concrete flooring products from Hanson is the most comprehensive available in Australia today.

The range has been designed and developed to cover most applications in the construction market.

All products are manufactured in quality controlled factory environments and are backed by a full range of support services including technical advice on product selection, project design assistance, installation advice and on site assistance.

hollowcore flooring units

04Prestressed hollowcore units are the ideal solution for all suspended floor applications – especially where a clear spanning durable deck is required.

Clear unpropped spans up to 14.0 metres•Can be used on masonry, steel or concrete structures•Fast to erect and structure provides an immediate working platform•Service holes and notches can be preformed•Excellent sound and fire resistance properties•

The structural properties of the hollowcore units rely on the prestressing strands cast into the lower half of the units. The number of strands and the degree of the prestress determines the ultimate load/span capacity of the units.

Hanson can provide software to assist the designer to design the floor units for a particular application.

All units are machine produced ensuring consistently high quality and the steel beds produce a smooth, regular soffit

When grouted together hollowcore units can provide diaphragm action without structural topping. Enhanced structural performance can be achieved by using a composite topping.

A direct equivalent of an insitu slab, Transfloor provides the facility to combine precast and insitu concrete and offers major benefits to specifiers, engineers and builders.

Fast to erect, acts as fully participating permanent formwork, saving time and money•Exceptional flexibility where each panel can be designed to suit a specific location and load•Irregular shaped buildings easily accommodated•Service holes etc formed and positioned during manufacture•Smooth level soffit suitable for direct decoration•

The use of site placed concrete effectively ties all the Transfloor panels together providing safety, rigidity and structural redundancy. The lattice girder truss ensures a practical bond between the precast and insitu concrete.

All Transfloor panels incorporate triangular lattice girder trusses. Each truss is cut to size and attached to the layer of reinforcement. Concrete is then poured to create the Transfloor panel.

The trusses cast into each panel provides the strength and stiffness for handling and transport, allows the panels to support construction loads with a minimum of temporary propping and contributes to the bottom steel.

The length, width, thickness, plan shape and reinforcement steel of a Transfloor panel can easily be varied to suit design requirements.

Beamshells are most economical when part of a system comprising

insitu concrete columns•standard beamshells•hollowcore floor planks•insitu structural topping•

precast in a factory, away from your building site•minimum trades required on site•simple column connections•fast construction times•multiple work faces•

Hanson can also offer precast beams for suspended floors. Precast beams are not a stock item, but are manufactured to suit each particular situation, hence there are no preset restrictions.

There are a number of profiles that can be used from inverted tee beams to solid rectangular beams.

Reinforcing can be prestressed or conventionally reinforced
