Design and Construction of Concrete Floors
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-1-032-93282-8 (ISBN)
Design and Construction of Concrete Floors recognizes that a good floor must do far more than support its intended loads. This thoroughly updated third edition provides further insight into polished concrete, limestone cement, and jointless floors for an international audience of structural engineers, architects, and building developers. This book discusses structural design, crack control, flatness, wear resistance, slip resistance, and suitability for floor coverings.
This book provides detail on different concrete floor types, including ground-supported concrete floors; suspended concrete floors; office and residential floors; institutional floors, including those in hospitals and libraries; industrial floors, including those that support robotic equipment; floors over contaminated soil; superflat floors; and polished concrete. In addition, this book expands on designing floors for sustainability and reduced carbon footprint.
George Garber has worked as a consulting engineer on the design and construction of concrete floors since 1979. He is a voting member of ASTM Committee E6 on the Performance of Buildings.
