Low-Rise Monolithic Steel-Reinforced Concrete Houses on the Basis of the “Load-Bearing Floor” Constructive System

The load-bearing floor is a box-shaped structure consisting of monolithic floor slabs cohesive with all walls and partitions located between them [1]. The load of the bearing floor is transmitted only to the exterior walls. Thereby, the spaces within the outer walls located under the bearing floor and above it don’t require any intermediate support. The effectiveness of the load-bearing floor construction implementation is the ability to obtain freedom while making planning decisions, re-planning in the process of the operation and reducing the consumption of structural materials for creation of the building carcass compared to the existing traditional structures [2]. In [3] authors describe the technology of construction of the bearing floor and present the results of computational studies of the stress state of its elements in their different design. In this article we discuss the planning and design features of the load-bearing floor in steel-reinforced concrete structures of low-rise buildings.
