PRECAST SLAB
Developed by Girder-Slab Technologies LLC, the Girder-Slab
System is a steel and precast hybrid, the rst to use precast slabs
with an integral steel girder to form a composite monolithic
structural slab assembly.
This innovative technology uses proven materials long available
within the construction industry. The Girder-Slab System is ideal
for mid to high-rise residential construction. This lightweight
assembly develops composite action enabling it to carry
signicant loads.
A special steel beam is used as an interior girder supporting the
precast slab on its bottom ange. The web and top ange are
concealed within the plane of the slab. The at structural slab
permits minimum and variable oor-to-oor heights.
The Girder-Slab System is re rated for use in high-rise buildings
when constructed in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories
Inc. Floor-Ceiling Design (USA) UL K912 and (Canada) ULC J500.
The Girder-Slab System in combination with a structural steel
frame offers a complete steel and concrete superstructure.
Unlike cast-in-place concrete structures, the Girder-Slab System
uses off site prefabricated components that are quickly erected on
site.
Full Size Test Assembly

The system integrates easily with all other lateral resisting
systems such as concrete or masonry shear walls.
The Girder-Slab System and the open web D-Beam technology
are the result of more than ten years of research and development.
In order to develop a rational analysis that would maximize the
use of this technology, extensive laboratory testing and analysis
was undertaken. This included both small-scale specimens and
full-scale assemblies in order to simulate actual bays. Each
assembly was load tested in excess of 100 psf, well above required
residential live loads. The D-Beam Girder performed without failure.
The DB-8 is used for 8 assemblies, while the DB-9 is used for 2
topped or 10 untopped assemblies. Depending on project specics,
bay sizes of 20' x 28' are very efcient.
As a result of extensive testing it was determined that the
transformed section is as illustrated below:
The Girder-Slab System consists of an interior girder (known as

an open-web dissymmetric beam or D-Beam), and prestressed
hollow-core slabs, connected by cementitious grout.
Applications include oor and roof slabs, which are supported
by a steel frame that resists all gravity and lateral loads. WF
beams are typically used at spandrel, shaft and other conditions.

Girder-Slab System Technology

This unique design technology is the rst ever to use precast
slabs with an integral steel girder to form a monolithic structural
slab assembly. The Girder-Slab System consists of an interior
girder (known as an open-web dissymmetric beam or D-Beam)
supporting precast prestressed hollow core slabs on its bottom
ange. With standard cement grout, the Girder-Slab System
develops composite action enabling it to support signicant live
loads. Grouting is easily achieved after slabs are set in place.
The Girder-Slab System has advantages over cast-in-place
concrete superstructures. It is low cost, lightweight and
offers rapid construction and assembly.
Ironworkers erect both the structural
steel and precast hollow core slabs.
Girder-Slab System Application

The Girder-Slab System in combination with a structural steel
frame offers a complete steel and concrete superstructure. It is
ideal for use in mid to high-rise residential structures such as
hotels, student housing, apartments and condominiums.
8 precast slabs generally span as long as 28'-0". Longer plank
spans are possible, and the system can also be used with 10
precast slabs.
The Girder-Slab System is re rated for use in all residential
buildings when constructed in accordance with Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. Floor-Ceiling Design (USA) UL K912 and
(Canada) ULC J500.
Hollow core slabs accommodate various architectural designs.
Perimeter spandrel beams are not required.
The Girder-Slab System greatly improves construction operations

and the ability to meet critical deadlines.
Unlike cast-in-place concrete

structures, the Girder-Slab System
uses off site prefabricated materials that
are quickly erected on site.
After slabs are set, grout is easily placed

flowing around the D-Beam, through its
web openings and 12 into a reinforced cell.
Allows faster access for the work of

other trades. Coring of slabs for utilities
is easier and permits final adjustment.

designed to allow the precast slab to

shoring is needed.
A sample D-Beam Girder used

for testing is fully encapsulated
by hardened grout.
A gypsum wall board ceiling can also be used under

the slab to conceal the bottom flange of the D-Beam.
Precast slabs can be set in place in nearly

any climate condition including freezing
temperatures.

The application and use of the Girder-Slab System
technology requires design by a registered professional
engineer or architect. This Design-Guide provides all

A Revolutionary Steel-Based Framing System

That Offers Low Floor-To-Floor Height
And Unobstructed Ceilings.
Structural engineers often are judged by the
pounds per square foot of steel on the project.
Averaging 1.5 psf for basic floor framing on
this project is extremely low, as is 7.4 psf overall.
But even with such good structural efficiency,
structural steel would not even have been
considered were it not for the low floor-to-floor
heights achievable with the Girder-Slab System.
