## Core and Shell
|
|
|
|
A **core and shell** installation is one that provides the minimum requirements.
|
|
A **cold shell** installation excludes heating as well.
|
|
Such spaces are "finished" under a separate contract.
|
|
|
|
## Shear Walls
|
|
|
|
Shear walls span the height of a building.
|
|
|
|
Those around elevator shafts form a "shear core".
|
|
|
|
## Suspended Slab
|

|
|
|
|
### Conventional Slab
|
|
|
|
Flat on both top and bottom faces
|
|
|
|
#### Post-Tensioned Slab
|
|
|
|
> [!example]
|
|
> STRUCTURAL SLAB IS AN 8-INCH THICK
|
|
> UNBONDED POST-TENSIONED TWO-WAY SLAB UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE.
|
|
|
|
### Pan Deck Slab
|
|
|
|
> [!info] Also Known As
|
|
> * composite slab
|
|
> * corrugated slab
|
|
|
|
Concrete is poured into a corrugated steel "pan".
|
|
The corrugation and support allow for a substantially thinner slab.
|
|
|
|
> [!example]
|
|
> STRUCTURAL SLAB IS 3 1/2 INCHES OF NORMALWEIGHT CONCRETE
|
|
> ON 3-INCH COMPOSITE STEEL DECK UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE.
|
|
|
|
### Other Suspended Slabs
|
|
|
|
These slabs achieve greater strength with complex formwork.
|
|
|
|
* Waffle Slab
|
|
* Ribbed Slab
|
|
|
|
## Tunnel Form
|
|
|
|
In tunnel form construction,
|
|
formwork is arranged to cast walls and slabs simultaneously
|
|
|
|
## DualDeck
|
|
|
|
DualDeck is a proprietary construction method from [Finfrock Design LLC](https://finfrock.com/).
|
|
|
|
> [!quote] [DualDeck® by FINFROCK | Precast Concrete Building System](https://finfrock.com/dualdeck-building-system/)
|
|
> Comprised of two 2.5-in.-thick precast, prestressed concrete slabs
|
|
> joined with high-strength steel reinforcements,
|
|
> the finished component serves as both the floor and ceiling surfaces in a multi-level building.
|
|
> The built-in subsystems accelerate construction times
|
|
> and the accessible interstitial space simplifies lifetime maintenance.

|
|
|
|
|
|
The decks are poured and assembled at Finfrock's headquarters and delivered to the job site.
|
|
|
|
Specialty contractors for projects utilizing DualDeck assemblies
|
|
must coordinate, fabricate, and deliver to Finfrock
|
|
any components that must be set into the slabs or routed in the interstitial space,
|
|
including outlet boxes, conduit, and fittings for electrical.
