In the last few decades, application of lightweight cold-formed composite steel–concrete structural systems has constantly been increasing within field engineering. This can be explained by efficient material usage, particularly noticeable when using built-up sections and innovative types shear connections. paper summarises an overview development floor systems. Additionally, it provides backgr...

A newly developed innovative steel–geopolymer concrete composite floor slab for use in modular construction is investigated this study. We present experimental results on the flexural behaviour of eight sandwich slabs with different configurations containing self-compacting geopolymer (SCGC) as infill and Basalt FRP (BFRP) bars reinforcement. The sustainable material such SCGC non-corrosive BFR...

Construction on problem soils or in permafrost conditions involves using of pile foundations with a ventilated space under the floor structure. In this case, additional thermal insulation is required first-floor structure (above space). The aim research was to develop systems for buildings different climatic zones, including arctic region and other regions predominance ever-frozen ground. With ...
