Hollow core slab - beam details
Hollow core slab - beam details
(OP)
Hello,
I'm designing a parking lot with prestressed hollow core slab and dropped beams.
But before I want to choose the preliminary dimensions of the beams I want to know how will the slab connects to the beam ? Like it's rebars detailing. Plus should I make the beam width larger than the column's ? So that the column in the second floor won't rest on slab directly.

Oldcastle, spancrete are just a couple that make plank. A Google search should yield good results.

The final connection is provided by grouting the end of the plank to beam joint and by rebar that crosses the joint and ties into the horizontal shear reinforcement that projects for the top of the beam. No actual connection is made to the plank other than by means of grout because it is not possible to cast the plank with any embeds in them due to the extrusion or slip form process.

CAUTION:
If voids are grouted solid at ends and a waterproof membrane is not on top of the exposed hollow core, the cores may fill with water. This could lead to damage. Contractor is responsible to protect exposed hollow core until a membrane is installed.
