  • Publication number: 20100101162
    Abstract: The invention relates to a concrete ceiling structure having a multi-layer design and comprising pre stressed elemental plates (10) for absorbing tensile stress, and at least one layer of cast-in-place concrete (50), especially reinforced concrete, arranged on the plates and used to absorb compressive stress. A pipe system (40) for the circulation of a fluid, especially air, is built into the structure, for heating or cooling. The pipes (40, 140, 240) are arranged in the cast-in-place concrete layer (50), above the elemental plates (10).

  • Patent number: 7010893
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a concrete floor, particularly a temperable concrete floor, containing an upper side and an underside, containing first concrete-free spaces, particularly cavities, that comprise at least one first wall surface, particularly two, three, four or more wall surfaces, along at least one section, said at least one first wall surface being essentially planar, concave, convex or corrugated or denticulate and being aligned not essentially parallel or perpendicular to the underside and/or upper side of the concrete floor, and containing second concrete-free spaces, particularly second cavities, whereby the first concrete-free spaces, particularly two, three, four or a plurality of first concrete-free spaces, and the second concrete-free spaces are arranged in the concrete floor in alternating succession, at least in sections, and, in particular, connectible to one another or connected to one another, whereby said first concrete-free spaces have a larger maximum diameter in crossect
