  • Load supporting structure
    Patent number: 5339475
    Abstract: A load supporting structure includes a pair of beams with tension members extending between them. A deck formed from fiber reinforced concrete is supported on the beams with fasteners extending between the beams and deck. The tension members provide sufficient rigidity to allow an arching action to develop within the deck and thereby avoid the need for steel reinforcements within the deck.
