"STEELCRETE" MESH IN FLOOR CONSTRUCTION. 



The methods or systems of using "Steelcrete" Mesh as a reinforcement in floors are in- 

 numerable. The following have been selected because of their popularity, and are typical of the 

 methods employed in the structures for which they are suggested. Variations may be adapted to 

 suit special cases by engineers or architects. 



Systems No. IB, 1C, ID and 2A may be used with or without the suspended ceiling as shown in 

 System No. 1A. This method is used wherever a level ceiling is desirable. The confined air 

 space serves to deaden the sound. It is adapted to office buildings, loft buildings, hotels, hos- 

 pitals, schools, apartment houses, residences, etc. The open panel construction is adapted to ware- 

 houses, retail stores, office buildings, hotels, etc., where the panelled finish is desired or permis- 

 sible. 



The floors may be of any form indicated by the character of the building. 



The attention of the architects is called to the "Steelcrete" beam wrapper which is required 

 around the lower flanges of beams when concrete protection is deemed necessary. This will be 

 found fully described elsewhere. 



The tables of safe superimposed live loads will supply all the data necessary for the design 

 of a floor system.
