Design Methods

Route 1: preliminary evaluation using HiVoSS method

- applied to a typical bay

- read OS-RMS90 values according to the calculated

frequency, modal mass and damping

Route 2: guidelines from Steel Construction Institute

- modal analysis for finite element model is conducted to

determine frequency, modal mass and mode shape.

- response factor, which is related to the peak

acceleration, is calculated

Route 3: probability-based method

- walking paths are defined

- Monte Carlo Method is used to randomly generate

walking frequencies

Acoustic Design

“…The SPS floor system is deemed to be acoustically acceptable as both a loading bearing separating floor construction and an internal

load bearing floor construction… also deemed to be acoustically acceptable for non-residential schemes including schools, office spaces,

industrial spaces, bars, clubs and other healthcare spaces…” - Sol Acoustics Ltd.

SPS floors with fire protection combined with a wide range

of typical ceiling and floor finishes provide a sufficient

acoustic insulation for commercial and residential

buildings.

Sample calculation using the acoustic design tool for a

typical floor buildup for residential floor, given below,

demonstrates that it meets UK building regulations; STC

ratings given in North American regulations are also met.

Technical Summary

Typical Service Loads SDL 1.5kPa (0.22psi); LL 4.5kPa (0.65psi) (other loads and combinations readily accommodated)

Deflection Typically less than L/600 (for widths and live load listed above)

Dynamic Response The stiffness of SPS panels and supporting beams are adjusted to meet needs of a particular

building or room (e.g. R-factor 6 is readily achieved for office floors)

Point Loads Once bolted in place, SPS Floors are readily able to carry most typical wheel loads from

equipment such as Cherry Pickers, Scissor Lifts, Fork Lifts etc.

Ultimate Capacity

Ultimate capacity of SPS Floor panels is equal to plastic capacity of steel faceplates in bending

and exceeds the effects of standard imposed building loads (greater than 7.5kPa/1.09psi).

(Note: Ultimate capacity of beams is not covered by this data sheet)

Composite Action Achieved through bolts connecting edges of SPS Floor panels to top flanges of supporting

beams. Welded connections also possible.

Stability

SPS Floors panels transfer diaphragm forces to the lateral load resisting system via bolts

connecting edges of panels to top flanges of supporting beams. Welded connections also

possible.

Fire Resistance

Up to 120:120:120 minutes using conventional fire protection which is either factory or field

applied. When shorter periods are required the thickness of the protection is reduced

accordingly. (Note: an untreated SPS panel achieves an inherent 30 minute resistance with a

20mm (0.8’’) core thickness, and 60 minutes for 25mm (1’’) cores)

Acoustics

Finished floors incorporating SPS Floor panels meet standard acoustic insulation requirements

for airborne, impact and flanking noise for all conventional building types. For instance: SPS Floor

design for hotels and offices provides: 49dB of airborne sound insulation; and 46dB of impact

sound absorption provided standard hotel finishes are applied.

Category SPS Floors Concrete Floors

Price-performance reduced weight for the floor and supporting frame

reduced schedule

thinner flooring system provides possibility of extra

floors within same building height

Increased rentable area (smaller columns, thinner

core walls)

crane capacity requirements reduced

heavier floors heavier supporting structure

extra costs associated with wet work (levelling with screed,

more trades, construction waste, curing time, props)

Schedule 25% reduction in superstructure programme

earlier rental

prefabricated; onsite assembly

fewer construction operations

no-curing and immediate structural capacity

built-in lifting, leading edge and facade connections

extended schedule associated with wet work (levelling with

screed, more trades, construction waste, curing time, props,

onsite construction)

Thickness 25-60mm (1’’-2.4’’)

creates more rentable floor space

150-250mm (6’’-10’’)

Weight 90-120kg/m2 (18-25 psf) 360-600kg/m2 (74-123 psf)

Diaphragm Capacity transfer diaphragm forces to the lateral load resisting

system via bolt connecting the edges of panels to

top flanges of supporting beams

continuity reinforcement is required to ensure the continuity

of the shear transfer across joints

Category SPS Floors Concrete Floors

Acoustics satisfies all standard acoustic insulation

requirements for airborne, impact and flanking noise

with conventional floor and ceiling finishes

at least 150mm thickness to provide sufficient airborne

sound insulation

Dynamic Performance the strength and stiffness of SPS panels and

supporting beams are tailored to meet the dynamic

criteria

60%-75% lighter than concrete for the same

dynamic performance

relies on large mass to satisfy dynamic criteria

Tolerances ±3mm (±0.1’’) for length and width

±1mm (±0.04’’) for panel fastener position

±10mm (±0.4’’) for rebar location

-6mm (-0.24’’) to +12mm (0.5’’) for thickness

Flatness ±3mm (0.1’’) over 3m (10’) generally ±5mm (0.2’’) over 3m (10’)

usually requires leveling screed

Surface Protection typically only a zinc-rich primer is required water sealing and anti-stain coating required for exposed

concrete (extra cost)

Penetrations and Openings included factory made laser cut holes reduces onsite

installation costs

holes generally drilled on site by subcontractor

opening locations are limited and generally require

reinforcement

MEP Attachments standard industry hangers and fasteners

service location can be premarked in factory

reinforcement may dictate location; dust

PFP up to 120/120/120 minutes using conventional fire

protection (fibreboard, cementitious spray,

intumescent coatings, sprinklers)

untreated SPS achieves 30 minutes resistance with

a 20mm (0.8’’) core and 60 minutes for 25mm (1’’)

at least 120mm (4.7’’) thickness to achieve 120 minutes fire

resistance

Floor Finishes all conventional floor finishes have been tested on

SPS floors and are easily installed

high panel stiffness limits risk of cracking of finishes

in service

extra cost for surface preparation, i.e. filling the cracks

extra weight, construction time for levelling surface with

screed

Shipping less weight

less space

stackable

-

Construction Operations Immediate working platform for subsequent

construction activities once installed

Weather independent

single trade; no construction waste; no dust

safer; less construction clutter

no wet work

concrete must cure prior to use as working platform

special care shall be taken in cold weather

construction and demolition waste need to be disposed
