Composite Bar Joist Floor System
Composite Decking Floor System
Dovetail Decking Floor System
CFS Truss Floor System
Hollow Core Plank Floor System
Composite Bar Joist Floor System
Advantages
No Shoring
Longer Spans (Less Load Bearing Walls)
Less Concrete
Lighter Weight then “Decking” floor systems
Speed of erection
DISAdvantages
Floor Assembly Height
Possible Fire Dampers Required
Composite Decking Floor System
Advantages
U.L. Rating is typically achieved from the bottom of the floor decking to the top of the concrete
DISAdvantages
Possible shoring required
Shorter spans (more load bearing elements)
More concrete then “joist” systems
Heavier then “joist” systems
Dovetail Decking Floor System
Advantages
U.L. Rating is typically achieved from the bottom of the floor decking to the top of the concrete
DISAdvantages
Possible shoring required
Shorter spans (more load bearing elements)
More concrete then “joist” systems
Heavier then “joist” systems
CFS Truss Floor System
Advantages
No Shoring
Less Concrete
Lighter Weight then other floor systems
DISAdvantages
Span limitations
Floor assembly Height
Possible additional furr downs due to mechanicals
Possible Fire Dampers Required
Hollow Core Plank Floor System
Advantages
U.L. Rating is typically achieved from the bottom of the floor decking to the top of the concrete
Quicker to install then a “joist” floor system
DISAdvantages
Grouting after the planks are set
Additional leveling product may be required
Span limitations
Heavier then other systems
