Reinforced Concrete Structural Screed
Reinforced Concrete Structural Screed
(OP)
If a structural screed is used over precast planks (hollow core units) this increases the load capacity of the units. Is this just due to the composite action of the reinforced concrete screed with the planks below giving an incresded effective depth the the prestressed strands or is the increses load capacity resulting from different factors?

Make sure you specify a raked surface on the precast so that you get a composite action. I have put reinforcement in the screed when needed for a seismic resisting diaphragm and for wierd areas around stairtowers. Otherwise, the screed stays in compression and doesn't need reinforcing.
