2. Filigree concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filigree_concrete

   Subsequently, the deck's top reinforcing steel is placed on top of the precast panels at the site, and concrete is poured over the entire assembly to achieve the final thickness of the deck. This process effectively accelerates the construction of structures by eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming field forming, and the placing of ...

3. Composite construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_construction

   A composite steel deck combines the tensile strength of steel with the compressive strength of concrete to improve design efficiency and reduce the material necessary to cover a given area. Additionally, composite steel decks supported by composite steel joists can span greater distances between supporting elements and have reduced live load ...

4. Orthotropic deck - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthotropic_deck

   The same structural effects are also true of the concrete slab in a composite girder bridge, but the steel orthotropic deck is considerably lighter, and therefore allows longer span bridges to be more efficiently designed. Resistance to use of an orthotropic deck relates mainly to its cost of fabrication, due to the amount of welding involved.

5. Large panel system building - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_panel_system_building

   The first German use of large panel system-building construction is what is now known as the Splanemann-Siedlung in Berlin's Lichtenberg district, constructed in 1926–1930. [1] These two- and three-storey apartment houses were assembled of locally cast slabs, inspired by the Dutch Betondorp in Watergraafsmeer, a suburb of Amsterdam.

6. Deck (bridge) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck_(bridge)

   A grid deck uses beams and diaphragms as the supporting structure. The supporting system of a grid deck is analyzed using a grillage analysis. A slab deck is one where the deck is analyzed as a plate. If the slab has a stiffness that is different in two directions (at right angles), then the deck is known and analyzed as an orthotropic deck.
