Floor Type: Saw Cut Floor

Saw cut floors, in the context of this calculation note, are Dramix® steel fibre reinforced
industrial floor slabs which are poured on top of a sub-base, with or without an intermediate
insulation layer. Saw cut joints are introduced at regular intervals between day or expansion
joints.

Figure: Outline of a saw cut floor (blue) and examples of its substructure (orange: insulation, dark brown: subbase, light
brown: subgrade) - required membranes are not indicated

Saw cut floors are subject to loads from materials stored directly on the slab, storage rack
loads, static loads associated with equipments and dynamic loads associated with vehicles.

Saw cut floors are not an integral part of a building but are completely separated from it. They
shall neither be utilized as a foundation element of a building nor for transferring in-plane forces,
e.g. from tie beams.

This calculation note does not replace the need of proper detailing, suitable concrete
composition, good compaction and appropriate curing. Efforts from all parties involved in the
construction are necessary to meet the expectations.

Detailing and execution has to be done according to the state of the art and the relevant
standards. Execution details for flooring are available through Bekaert and must be complied
with [16], [17].

Although not complete, these construction techniques need to be highlighted and followed:
- To avoid bond with the structural concrete, the insulation material or the sub-base, a
membrane has to be placed wrinkle-free underneath the floor. The membrane has to be
selected based on its properties (specific membranes may be required depending on the
function of the saw cut floor).
- To avoid or control stresses from restrained deformations, the surface on which the saw cut
floor is poured has to be even, with no indents or embossments. The saw cut floor shall be
disconnected from all other elements and structures by means of sufficiently dimensioned
isolation joints. Saw cuts are introduced at regular intervals to eliminate stresses from
restrained deformations.
- To avoid crack propagation, additional reinforcement has to be placed locally around
irregularities such as re-entrant corners, perforations, etc.

Soil Properties (k-value determined on subgrade)

Both subgrade and sub-base shall be well drained and provide adequate and uniform support
for the slab. The in-situ properties shall be at least the minimum of what is defined in this
calculation and, if applicable, shall be sufficient to support all occurring construction traffic.

Subgrade and sub-base tolerances have to be chosen so that the slab thickness used in this
calculation can be established everywhere. If rutting or pumping occurs or if any other negative
effect on either the stability or the flatness of the sub-base is observed, immediate repair has to
be undertaken.

If in-situ soil properties do not comply with what is defined in this calculation, a new calculation
based on the actual soil properties is required. In that case, slab thickness and/or the required
(fibre) reinforcement may increase.

For all required plate tests, a plate diameter of at least 750 mm shall be used.

The modulus of subgrade reaction k for the combined reaction of both sub-base and sub-grade
is derived in accordance with [03] for a given k-value of the subgrade and for a given dynamic
modulus of elasticity E of a sub-base layer with thickness h.

Joints
primary joint

Dowelled joints or - preferably - dowelled joint profiles function as day joints which cater for
breaks in the pouring and the construction process. The panels which are initially formed by
these joints are later cut into smaller panels by introducing saw cut joints.

Primary joints need to provide load transfer capability.

θ 70%
χ 0.65 = 1 − ⁄2

The joint and dowel design is not covered by this calculation.

secondary joint

Saw cut joints are an essential construction element for this floor type. Their main purpose is to
relieve tensile stresses induced by drying shrinkage or temperature fluctuations.

Sawn joints open slightly as a consequence of accumulating the temperature and shrinkage
movements. The degree of joint opening mainly depends on the joint spacing, the final concrete
shrinkage and temperature difference. The joint opening affects the joint efficiency and thus the
load transfer factor [04].

joint maintenance

The required joint maintenance mainly depends on the type of joint, the number of vehicles
crossing the joint and the contact pressure of their wheels.

The right joint can have a positive impact on the serviceability of the floor and a reduction of the
maintenance cost. Professional advice by a joint specialist is recommended.

joint arrangement

All joints need to be planned and to be aligned with assumptions made in this calculation. The
figure below shows an indicative example of how a potential joint arrangement could look. It
should be used as a guideline for a jobsite specific detailing plan.

Conclusion and Proposal based on TR34, 4th edition [15]

Despite the Bekaert data sheets giving a good estimation of the post crack strength, it does not
relieve others from testing the applied material properties. Bekaert is prepared to give advice
and practical support for quality control.

Additional Remarks

This design is only valid for Dramix®-steel fibres. Violation hereof shall entail legal proceedings by
BEKAERT in view of indemnification of all losses that BEKAERT may sustain as a result of such violation.

In case other fibre types than specified above or fibres of other manufacturers are used, this design is null
and void. In such a case, Bekaert rejects any liability for this design and for the consequences of putting it
in practice.

All input data provided to Bekaert is assumed as correct and thus without Bekaert's responsibility.
Assumptions made by Bekaert are evident for successful execution and thus have to be verified by the
project engineer.
