  • Patent number: 7540121
    Abstract: The invention relates to a steel-concrete hollow bodied slab or ceiling comprising concrete webs, which are arranged in between hollow bodies, and a reinforcing layer on top of the hollow bodies and a reinforcing layer underneath the hollow bodies, wherein a hollow body is embodied as a peripherally closed container which is devoid of any ascending force and which is open towards the bottom, whereby ventilation holes are provided in the covering wall thereof and the container comprises spacers. The aim of the invention is to obtain a low-cost hollow bodied slab/ceiling exhibiting good load-bearing behavior and an increased ability to discharge transversal forces according to local requirements. According to the invention, the concrete in at least one concrete web consists of high-tensile fibers and/or at least one steel strut, preferably a double wall anchor, and/or the hollow body which is devoid of ascendant forces has a conical or truncated pyramidal periphery whose uppermost end forms a dome-shaped arch.

  • Patent number: 6205737
    Abstract: To product a steel-reinforced hollow-body ceiling, reinforcing cages (10) are fitted to the ceiling area. The reinforcing cages (10) have three U-shaped stays (12) each made of round steel at an angular distance, with the U-shaped stays being welded together with two horizontal rings (18, 20) to form a stable structure which can be walked upon. A container (22), open at the bottom and having aeration holes (26) in the cover (24) can be hooked into this reinforcing cage (10). In this way the container (22) becomes buoyancy-free. Reinforcing cages (10) and containers (22) are stackable, forming truncated pyramids with a hexagonal base. The reinforcing cages (10) can be positioned with little space between them. They can be walked upon and act as spacers for the upper reinforcement of the concrete ceiling. Once concrete has been poured into place, a hollow-body reinforced-concrete ceiling or slab in honeycomb structure results.
