Opis

Concrete floors form one of the most common structural elements in construction today. However, floors are the subject of more user complaints than any other building element. A floor must be designed around a user's needs, whether industrial or domestic, complying with the correct standards such as floor flatness and structural strength. This book points the way to good practice by providing an introductory guide to the design and construction of concrete floors. Aimed at designers, civil and structural engineers, contractors and engineering and architectural consultants, this new edition brings the reader up to date with the latest developments and principles of floor design.
