Description
The D500 composite floor joist system is an advanced up-to-date answer to elevated floor construction challenges. Combining Hambro steel joists with poured concrete, the system consists of hybrid concrete/steel T-beams running in one direction and an integrated continuous slab in the other (see drawing below). The bottom chord (Fy = 350 MPa (50 000 psi) min.) acts as a tension member in the concreting stage and during the service life of the floor. The web system tying top and bottom chords together consists of bent rods
Concrete slab

(Fy = 300 MPa (44 000 psi) min.) and resists vertical shear in a conventional truss manner. The patented 13-gauge top chord (Fy = 350 MPa ( 50 000 psi) min.) acts as a compression member during the non-composite stage. In the composite stage, the top chord is embedded in the concrete and functions as a continuous shear connector. The concrete slab is reinforced with welded wire mesh. The top chord functions as a high chair, developing negative moment capacity in the concrete slab which behaves as a continuous one-way reinforced slab.

SIMPLICITY The Secret Behind Fast and Economical Installation 1.

Spreading Joists

2. Placing ROLLBAR

Installing 3. Plywood Forms

Joists are placed on the wall or beam and spread to approximately 1 250 mm (4-1 1/4) o.c. Check your load conditions and fire ratings for permissible options.

ROLLBARS are designed to support the plywood forms, the slab dead weight and a 1.92 kPa (40 psf) construction load. When rotated and locked into notches in the top chord, the ROLLBARS guarantee joist spacing while providing lateral and torsional stability.

Together, the plywood and ROLLBARS form a rigid diaphragm during construction, providing a platform for your workforce. The Hambro system accommodates standard 1 220 mm x 2 440 mm (4 x 8) plywood sheets (10, 13 or 16 mm (3/8, 1/2 or 5/8) may be used).

4. Mesh in Place

5. Using Spanners

6. View from Below

Standard 2.4 m x 6.1 m (8 x 20) sheets of mesh are easily placed over the top chord S of the Hambro joists. With the top chord S acting as a high chair, the mesh forms a natural catenary to reinforce and support the concrete slab.

Temporary spanners are installed to support 13 mm (1/2) or 16 mm (5/8) plywood sheets. Spanners are not required when using overlapped 10 mm (3/8) plywood sheets.

No permanent bottom chord bridging is required. Bottom chords are fabricated with clips generally at third points to accommodate ROLLBARS for temporary bracing during the concreting stage. No shoring is required unless noted.

7. Pouring Concrete

8. Stripping Formwork

9. ULC / CUL Fire Rated

Minimum design is a 65 mm - 20 MPa (2 1/2 - 3 000 psi) slab. The monolithic pour develops diaphragm action and forms an acoustical seal where the slab passes over walls. The patented top chord S embeds in the pour of the slab for composite action.

ROLLBARS and plywood forms are usually stripped the day after the pour or as soon as the concrete reaches 3.5 MPa (500 psi). The deck is ready for other trades when the concrete reaches a strength of 7 MPa (1 000 psi), usually within 48 hours of the pour. The formwork is easily removed for future reuse.

Furring channels are tied to the bottom chord of the Hambro joists. Fire rated gypsum board completes the assembly, providing an attractive continuous ceiling. See page 4 for UL ratings.

TECHNICAL SECTION
Fire Protection
Floor/ceiling assemblies using Hambro have been tested under restrained and unrestrained conditions by independent laboratories. Fire resistance ratings have been issued by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) and by Underwriters Laboratories of Canada Inc. (ULC) covering gypsum board, acoustical tile and spray on protection systems. Reference to these published listings should be made in detailing ceiling construction. Check your UL and ULC directory for the latest update of these listings.

Sound Control
The Hambro Composite Floor Joist System has excellent acoustical properties. Independent tests in a completed apartment in accordance with ASTM E336 as well as laboratory testing under ASTM E90 have resulted in the Hambro system receiving a sound transmission class (STC) of 57 which is twice as effective as a 150 mm (6) concrete slab. These tests may vary from actual field conditions. Variations in construction practices, i.e. wood frame, CBS or steel frame cons-truction may affect the actual field results of an independent testing company. It is the responsability of others to isolate the IIC with products and materials available.
