Design and Construction of Concrete Floors: Concrete Floor Design Reference
Design and Construction of Concrete Floors by George Garber is a digital PDF reference for concrete floor design and construction. It is available as an instant download for readers who need practical coverage of floor use, structural design, concrete, cracks, joints, and surface properties.
This second edition examines how floors can support and restrain other building elements while meeting the needs of users. It considers both structural performance and the practical requirements of different floor applications.
The digital edition is suitable for structural engineers and professionals involved in specifying, designing, constructing, or inspecting concrete floors.
Book Overview
George Garber’s book provides a structured treatment of concrete floors, beginning with their uses and design objectives. It then moves through structural design, concrete technology, placement and curing, and common floor problems.
The coverage includes residential, office, retail, institutional, warehouse, factory, and special floors. Later sections address ground-supported and suspended floors, concrete properties, mix design, transporting and placing concrete, curing, cracks, curling, joints, and floor surface properties.
The book draws on European and American experience and cites British and US standards. It is written for readers in structural engineering, building design, construction, and floor inspection.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- How non-industrial, warehouse, factory, and special floors are used.
- Structural design approaches for ground-supported and suspended floors.
- The properties and components of concrete used for floors.
- Mix design, mixing, transport, placement, compaction, and curing.
- The causes and repair of plastic-shrinkage, plastic-settlement, drying-shrinkage, thermal-contraction, and structural cracks.
- Floor curling, joint functions, load transfer, joint fillers, sealants, and armoured joints.
- A balanced approach that looks beyond structural strength and considers floor performance.
Why This Book Matters
Concrete floors must perform as structural elements and as surfaces used by people, equipment, and building systems. This book brings those requirements together in one reference.
Its coverage of floor types, concrete behavior, construction methods, cracking, curling, and joints supports informed work across design, construction, specification, and inspection. References to British and US standards also reflect the book’s cross-Atlantic technical scope.
