increased structural performance overall, with an improved lateral load distribution where necessary for heavy point loads.
The floor may be designed in the unpropped or partially propped condition to suit particular requirements. It is particularly
suitable for industrial buildings, high buildings, car parks or other structures where additional longitudinal and transverse
tying is required.
Spans indicated below allow for characteristic service load (live load)
plus self weight plus 1.5 kN/m2 for finishes

The above data is based upon 50 or 75mm structural topping of C30 concrete which should be regarded as a minimum.
Other topping depths may be recommended in some circumstances. Design data for alternative combinations are available
from Bison design offices. In relation to the overall structural concept of the building it is also important also to consider
