Slimdek system
Slimdek® is an engineered floor solution developed to offer a cost-effective, service-integrated, minimal depth floor for use in multi-storey steel framed buildings with grids up to 9 metres x 9 metres.
Slimdek extends the range of cost-effective steel options for modern buildings. Ease of planning and servicing, combined with a reduction in building height, gives significant cost and speed of construction benefits.
Slimdek solutions can be designed to incorporate the latest technology in energy efficient services principles.
Slimdek comprises three main components
ASB beam
The Asymmetric SlimDek® beam (ASB) is produced by hot rolling in which the degree of asymmetry between the widths of the top and bottom flanges is approximately 60%, and the top flange is embossed to enhance composite action with the concrete encasement.
RHSFB beam
At the perimeter of the building, it is often structurally more efficient and often architecturally desirable, to use an RHS section, which can resist torsional forces caused by eccentric loading on the beam
