Double Tee

Double tee floors consist of two prestressed concrete ribs connected by a top slab, ranging from 200-500mm deep. They are well suited for large floor spans with services suspended below and can accommodate openings. Double tee floors provide sound insulation and fire resistance, with STC ratings of 53-59 depending on finishing. They are made of 42MPa concrete and have bearing capacities outlined in standards. Proper lifting, storage, and seating are required for safe installation.

double tee floors

DESCRIPTION Double Tee flooring units consist of two prestressed ribs and a connecting top slab. The ribs can vary in depth from 200 to 500mm.The connecting slab is 2400mm wide x 50mm thick. Double Tees are ideally suited for larger spanning floors with a wide variety of services suspended from the flooring system. Double Tees can easily accommodate large floor voids/penetrations through the slab region. SOUND TRANSMISSION A major practical benefit of a concrete floor is its ability to reduce noise transmission. Double Tee concrete floors are quiet and do not creak with temperature and moisture changes.The table below shows sound transmission ratings achieved by Double Tees. MATERIAL Double Tee concrete strength = 42 MPa. Topping concrete strength = 20 MPa. Topping thickness = 65 mm FIRE RESISTANCE RATING 2400 wide unit = 90 minutes For Fire Ratings or loads in excess of the allowable shown, please contact your local Stresscrete branch. BEARING CAPACITY Where high shear loads are combined with support beams or walls of low material strength, a bearing capacity check according to NZS3101 should be made; e.g. masonry bearing walls. LIFTING Lift Double Tees only at the lifting points provided. Chains or AIRBORNE SOUND TRANSMISSION (STC)

double tee
strops must be of correct length to carry equal load and must not be more than 300 off vertical. STORAGE Double Tees if stored onsite must be supported at their ends on firm ground. Bearers between layers in a stockpile must be vertically above each other and units of varying length should not be stacked upon each other. Ensure the bottom bearers are not pushed into the ground, resulting in the bottom unit being supported near midspan. SEATING Flange supported Double Tees must be bedded on a sand cement mortar (the consistency of blocklaying mortar).This must be evenly spread just prior

to the unit being placed. Double Tee legs should be placed on cement mortar or on plastic bearing pads. Stresscrete Double Tees are designed as prestressed sections as per NZS3101: Part 1:1995. For minimum seating requirements refer to NZS3101: Part 1:1995, section 4.3.6.4. FURTHER TECHNICAL INFORMATION Specifications for the manufacture, transport and erection of Double Tee units, and standard details for typical situations are available from your nearest Stresscrete branch. Experienced and qualified staff will be pleased to discuss design and fixing details. Refer general notes on page 16.
