Slimdek

Slimdek^® comprises an ASB steel section contained within the depth of the slab. It supports deep deck profiled floor decking. Ties run perpendicular to the beams.

The major advantage of Slimdek^® construction is that the beams are contained within the floor depth. This reduces the overall height of the floor structure, and can improve service integration.

Asymmetric beams (ASB) are hot rolled sections where the bottom flange is wider than the top flange. Spans of up to 9 m are possible. Some ASB sections have been proportioned so that they can achieve up to 60 minutes fire resistance without applied fire protection.
