GEOMETRIC SHAPES
Our columns can be manufactured into a range of sections to allow a wide variety of
geometrical shapes for any type of project. With the normal rectangular shape we can
make sections with A and B dimensions ranging from 30 to 120 cm.
The heights possible depend on the required stiffness for handling and limitations
imposed by transport means.
We are able to manufacture the columns with edging or grooves, as well as placing
internal downspouts.

BASE PLATE FOUNDATIONS
This is a bolted system similar to the previous system, but does not
need any type of concrete poured on site because no holes are made
in the column section. The base plate, which is usually bevelled, is
embedded in the base of the structure.

CORBELS
COLUMNS
The beams' support on columns is achieved with corbels, being able to position them at any
elevation on the column and also on the sides, as necessary.
They can be manufactured in any geometrical shape. The most common ones are the examples
shown here.
Apart from using corbels for supporting the beams or slabs we can use long corbels, capitals, metal
corbels for hidden supports and slotted corbels.

INVERTED T BEAMS
WIDTH OF THE COLUMN (standard characteristics but variable adapting to the project's
demands)
These are beams with the geometric shape of an inverted T with the aim of avoiding the edges in
the slabs so as to not interfere with the columns.
They can either be reinforced or prestressed depending on their spans and loads.
In order for the concrete to work with the compression layer in the beam's resistance, and therefore
also minimise the size of the web (D), connectors are arranged between the beam head and the
compression layer.
The pad projection of the slab supports is normally 15 cm, but this can vary. The width of the beam
determines the width of the column. The column's width is usually between 40 and 70 cm. The total
depth of the beam is composed of the depth of the slab plus the necessary web to give the beam
the necessary depth, which depends on the span of the beam, its load range and the loads
necessary for this floor deck. The most common web size is between 20 and 60 cm.
The slab's support on the flanges is achieved with elastomeric supports. The most common span of
this beam type varies between 5 and 12 m.

L BEAMS
This is a variant of the previous beam, an edge beam that only receives a slab on one side.
They can either be reinforced or prestressed depending on their spans and loads. In order for the
concrete to work with the compression layer in the beam's resistance, and therefore also minimise
the size of the web, connectors are arranged between the beam head and the compression layer.
The pad projection of the slab supports is normally 15 cm, but this can vary. The width of the beam
determines the width of the column. The column's width is usually between 40 and 70 cm.

It is also possible to place rectangular beams, with a depth equal to the previous beam, but with a
beam head with concrete poured on-site with the compression layer.
This solution requires the slabs to be edged before the columns and polystyrene blocks to be
placed in the slabs' hollow cores, with the aim of, in the case of large slab depths, decreasing
concrete consumption and avoiding making the floor deck overweight.
13
HOLLOW-CORE SLAB
The hollow-core slab manufactured by PACADAR is the answer to all requirements the market
imposes on a product with this product's versatility. The wide range of slab depths and sections
covers optimal combinations of spans and loads with a limit of 16 m or 45 KN/m².
The technology used in our factories allows the mass production of over 110-m long beams with the
precast section depth chosen.
THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE 2.90 to 1.91 W./m² K (Values without taking into account false
ceilings and upflow)
The materials used are standard for this type of product, allowing in its manufacture a wide range of
concrete types, as far as resistance, sulphur resistance characteristics, for floor decks in marine
environments or extremely chemically aggressive areas.
14
HOLLOW-CORE SLAB
Hollow-core slab floor decks are calculated by comparing the product specification sheet, which
includes, for each slab depth and compression layer, some maximum bending moment and shear
force values in service and the most up-to-date information regarding reinforcements.
FLOOR DECKS
We are also able to vary the coverings, in situations where greater fire resistance is needed.
Although the addition of incorporated elements in this type of mass production is not possible, we
can put edges and breaks in the slab after the concreting process whilst it is still fresh, to make
holes in the floor decks or to achieve an improved anchoring of the slab on its supports. Polystyrene
blocks are placed in the hollow cores of very deep slabs in order to monitor excessive use of
concrete in the hollow cores.
The slab is supported by any element, whether it is precast, on-site or metallic, with the use of
elastomeric supports.

LENGTHWISE CUTS
The on-site layout of the slabs of a deck involves making lengthwise cuts in standard slabs of 1.20
m width. These cuts are made in a specific part of the hollow-core so as to not diminish the strength
of any part of the deck. These are the recommended areas for lengthwise cuts and therefore slab
adjustments.
FLOOR DECKS
22
HOLLOW-CORE SLAB
Having large openings in the decks requires different solutions depending on the shape and
location of the holes. For openings measuring less than 15 cm, the best option is to plot them out at
the work site itself, making the necessary perforations after the compression layer has been laid,
installing and using the position of the hollow cores to not diminish the deck's strength.
If the openings are between 15 and 40 cm, the box edging, which must be made in the factory in
this case, at both extremes of the slab, diminish the slab strength, and therefore this must be
considered when calculating the appropriate reinforcement.
The position of the openings must be known to implement the project, in order to verify the
feasibility thereof and, if possible, to strengthen the compression layer in this area. If the
dimensions of the opening are larger than the examples provided, the use of metal trays or hangers
is necessary, which hold the cut slabs and transmit the loads to the adjacent slabs.

PI beams are also mass produced. The technology used is the same as that of the hollow-core
slabs. We manufacture two different widths, 80 and 120 cm, and six possible depths, 50, 60, 70, 80,
90 and 100 cm, offering a complete range in this type of structural solution.
They can either be placed flush or by leaving a gap between them. Spans of up to 20 m with traffic
superloads are achieved.

The use of this type of purlin provides the structure several benefits regarding loads and fire
requirements.
These are prestressed beams whose ends are supported at a half lap joint, adequately reinforced
with the aim of reducing the height of the roof.
With this purlin we can achieve up to 16 m of span with heavy loads on the roof.
It is common to place cold laminated rectangular sheets or profiles embedded and anchored with

hooks on the upper part of the purlin, so that the roof sheet can be installed more quickly.

As with the purlin, this is a secondary beam in the roof, but this time it is specifically used for water
run-off. Hence, they are placed in the valleys of industrial buildings with one or more slopes.
ROOFS
This is a moulded prestressed beam, although it is possible to manufacture it just with reinforcing.
At either end, half lap joint supports are positioned to correctly collect the water.
They also help to strengthen portals and it is possible for them to support panels or vertical cladding
slabs.

DOUBLE-T BEAMS
We have a wide range of double-T beams available for the generation of large span monopitch roof

portals.
Their use depends on the spans they need to cover, the distance between the centre-lines of the
openings and the loads which the roof requires. This type of beam requires a joint bolted to the
column or corbel and on top of that, as with the delta beams, the purlins, channels and roof
cladding in plastic or sheet are arranged.

The roof sheet is curved and can be lacquered or galvanized steel, although it can also be made
with transparent or translucent plastic materials to make skylights.
The beam's core must be covered in some sort of material which renders both the beams
themselves and the joints between them waterproof.

WING-SHAPED GAVINA BEAMS
Another type of flat roof is formed by the wing-shaped "Gavina" beam. As with the previous beam, it
provides the building with an appealing aesthetic with open-plan spaces, which makes it suitable for
use in any type of building. This beam enables various types of geometrical solutions.

ARCHITECTURAL PANEL
ENCLOSURES
Architectural panels are reinforced concrete elements that provide an appropriate aesthetic finish
according to the building's purpose.
They are manufactured to a standard width of 2.40 m, although they can be made to any
transportable width and up to a length of 16 m. With both measurements the appropriate weight is
calculated.
They can be made lighter with polystyrene block, and its reinforcement is composed of a perimeter
tie-beam and as many transverse tie-beams as required for its stability.
During the manufacturing process there is a bare surface, which is coloured and has the finish
chosen by the client, and a concrete surface, which is finished manually.

ARCHITECTURAL PANEL
The reinforcement covering depends on the type of conditions it will be exposed to.
It is possible to make corner protectors for the buildings, and even folded panels, to adapt to the
customer's different proposals. As mentioned above, the panels can be finished with different
textures and colours. These are some of the different options available.
