Numerous types of cast-in-place and precast concrete floor systems
are available to satisfy virtually any span and loading condition.
Reinforced concrete allows a wide range of structural options and
provides cost-effective solutions for a multitude of situations—from
residential buildings with moderate live loads and spans of about
25 ft, to commercial buildings with heavier live loads and spans
ranging from 40 ft to 50 ft and beyond. Shorter floor-to-floor heights
and inherent fire and vibration resistance are only a few of the
many advantages that concrete floor systems offer, resulting in significant
reductions in both structural and nonstructural costs
