peer agreement (net): +3slab Explanation: Page 54 (page 24 of the document) En esta tipología estructural, los forjados (o elementos que reciben directamente las acciones verticales del edificio) descansan en cada planta sobre elementos llamados pórticos que, a su vez, transmiten las cargas a la cimentación. Los pórticos están formados por elementos horizontales o vigas sobre los que se apoyan los forjados y por elementos verticales o pilares sobre los que descansan las vigas. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ignacio_Paya-Zaforteza/... Slabs Slab is an important structural element which is constructed to create flat and useful surfaces such as floors, roofs, and ceilings. It is a horizontal structural component, with top and bottom surfaces parallel or near so. To read more about slab thickness evaluation please click here . Commonly, slabs are supported by beams, columns (concrete or steel), walls, or the ground. The depth of a concrete slab floor is very small compared to its span. https://theconstructor.org/structural-engg/slab-beam-column-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2019-06-22 13:16:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Page 7 La disminución del coste del forjado de hormigón pasaba por reducir material, así que aparecieron los forjados de hormigón aligerados, en un principio como losas aligeradas, y más adelante como forjados unidireccionales aligerados. En nuestro país, la situación económica de la postguerra hizo que se desarrollaran una gran cantidad de tipologías que permitían disminuir gran cantidad de material pero que necesitaban de mucha mano de obra que por aquel entonces era barata.

The structural frame must have enough strength to securely bear the gravity loads throughout the entire life span of the building.. An adequate load bearing system is based on a continuous load path throughout the structure: The slabs carry the floor loads of each storey. The beams carry the loads transferred to them by the slabs as well as the weight of the walls seated on them. The columns carry the beam loads and they transmit them to the foundation. The footings (foundation) carry the column loads and transfer them to the ground. https://www.buildinghow.com/en-us/Products/Books/Volume-A/Th... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2019-06-22 13:24:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The following reference provides useful information about viguetas and bovedillas http://viguetaybovedilla31.blogspot.com/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2019-06-22 13:39:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Bovedillas = concrete blocks https://www.bradfords.co.uk/building-materials/bricks-blocks... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2019-06-22 13:55:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish-to-english/construction-c... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2019-06-22 13:58:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A previous question suggests floor structures for 'forjados'. https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish-to-english/construction-c... |
