The Double Tee (DT} slab is two symmetrically
placed heams interacting with a slab forming one
section with a "double tee” shape. It fs made in
recast, prestressed concrete and it's pany used!
for Moor or roof deck systems,
Double Tee slabs are made with G50 concrete and
U2" strands, ASTM AdI6 as standard. Each Double
Tee slab 1s normally 2400mm wide (2376)mm +
4mm joint). The span can vary from 10m to 25m
depending on required load capacity
Flange thickness is 5Omm as standard and the slab
ts normally combined with a screed for levelling
and (in most cases) structural purpose
The self weight for the slab is efatvely lw compared
to the load bearing capacity
Holes and openings can be arranged as per instruct
later in this folder.Structurally, Double Tee stabs provide the general
éffeciency of prestressed members concerning load
Capacity, span range and deflection contro.
Double Tee slabs (sometimes in interaction with
structural screed) are suitable for floors with high
and/or concentrated loads,
DESIGN
‘A floor consisting of Double Tee slabs can be designed
to provide a rigid and homogenous part of the
strueture (diaphragm). This diaphragm can be used
as past of the stabilizing system and is achieved by
welding the slabs together (see Instructions about
shear forces in joints). Structural sereed can also be
Used for stability purpose. This design is done by the
party who Is responsible for the general stability of
the building,
Fach single element is designed to cary loads according
to specifications and standards. This is normally done
by AlRashid-Abetong design department, If there fs
anced for structural screed to act together with the
slab for vertical load bearing this will be advised by
‘AlRashid-Abetong designer.
Topping for levelling purpose is needed to level the
slab considering camber and tolerances,
This folder contains some general design information
