Abstract

Slimdek is an engineered floor construction system that has been developed to meet demand for a cost-effective floor of minimal depth. This publication provides useful data on the value and benefit assessment of flooring solutions using Slimdek, based on evidence from case studies. Reasons for choosing Slimdek have been given as - achieving minimal floor depths, uninterrupted soffit with no down-stands, speed of construction (without temporary propping), fire protection needs are either eliminated or reduced and robust composite action can be achieved without shear studs.
