(1) subfloor thickness should be less than 28.5 mm (typical subfloors used in Canada are OSB, while in Australia particle board is more common), (2) in multi-span floors the effective composite joist bending stiffness factor should be 1.2, and (3) the stiffness contribution of a concrete...
The analysis of the previous tables shows that most of the parameters that have the greatest effect on the load distribution are associated with the end beam B1 (or B7). This was verified in 71% of the cases when considering the variation relatively to BS; 78% of the cases, when ...
