The traditional method uses joists similar to those of floor construction to span between exterior walls.
This is because it would conflict with ongoing international efforts to create criteria and methods that apply across a wider range of floor construction technologies.
Recent trends towards long-span and light-weight construction make floor vibration even more critical in satisfying serviceability requirements of floor constructions.
The abrasion resistance of floor constructions from concrete with cement binders is very important for their service life, especially in industrial enterprises.
One was the development of lightweight concrete, using blast-furnace slag in place of stone as aggregate for floor construction; this reduced the density of the concrete by 25 percent, with a corresponding reduction in the loads the building columns needed to carry.
The TUIK record, numbering 724,623, included information on the construction year, number of floors, and building construction type.
For the damage estimations, 57 building classes were adopted from HAZUS-MH (FEMA 2003) depending on the information of construction year, number of floors, and building construction type.
In the building damage estimation, 57 building classes used for the Istanbul metropolitan area were adopted from HAZUS-MH (FEMA 2003) depending on the information for construction year, number of floors, and building construction type.
Although roller compacted concrete (RCC) made with and without fly ash (FA) has enjoyed numerous application of dams, roads and large floors construction in Europe, Japan, Australia and Unites States since 1970s, it has not almost yet been used at all in Turkey despite abundant and economical sources of FA and cement.
For this reason pontiri is not recommended for floor construction.
