Concrete T Beam – Prestressed – Residential & Commercial Flooring

Product Overview

The 110mm x 150mm prestressed concrete floor T beam, with a length of 3000mm, is engineered for robust structural applications in both residential and commercial flooring systems. This beam is crafted from dense concrete, reinforced with prestressed steel wires, ensuring high load-bearing capacity while minimizing overall depth.

The inverted T profile is specifically designed to accommodate precast concrete infill blocks, providing a stable and interlocking floor deck. This beam is built to withstand the elements, offering resistance to weathering, fire, and corrosion, thus ensuring a long service life.

Features & Benefits

• Load-bearing Design: Reinforced with prestressed steel wires for superior structural performance.
• Optimized Profile: T-shaped cross-section allows secure interlocking with infill blocks.
• Durable Performance: Resistant to rot, corrosion, and fire.
• Efficient Construction: Precast design speeds up installation compared to in-situ casting.
• Practical Size: The 3000mm length is ideal for standard floor spans in residential projects.

Applications

• Residential Flooring: Essential for block and beam systems, suitable for ground or upper floors.
• Commercial Flooring: Provides structural support in small to medium commercial units.
• Housing Developments: Commonly used for new-build floors with 3m spans.
• Refurbishment Projects: Ideal for building upgrades requiring durable structural floors.

Installation Guidance

• Support Requirements: Minimum 100mm end bearing onto load-bearing walls or supports.
• Placement: Position beams at correct centers as specified in design drawings.
• Infill Units: Lay compatible precast concrete blocks or infill units between beams.
• Grouting: Grout joints to lock the floor system into a monolithic structure.
• Handling: Lift using appropriate mechanical equipment to avoid damage.

• Material: Dense concrete reinforced with prestressed steel wires.
• Fire Resistance: Non-combustible with inherent fire protection.

FAQ

• Q: What is the load-bearing capacity?
  A: The beam is designed to support substantial loads due to its prestressed concrete and steel wire reinforcement.
• Q: Can it be used for both ground and upper floors?
  A: Yes, it is suitable for both ground and upper floors in residential and light commercial projects.
• Q: How should the beam be handled during installation?
  A: It should be lifted using appropriate mechanical equipment to prevent damage.
