    The Formstress rib and timber infill system is an economical floor construction method using precast concrete ribs laid at 900mm centers with timber infill between. A minimum 75mm concrete topping is then cast over the ribs and infill timbers to create a composite floor. Rib depths can vary from 100mm to 350mm and spans of up to 12m are possible. The system achieves a fire rating of 90 minutes and STC rating of 55 when built as specified. Formstress engineers will design the ribs for each project's load requirements.

    Rib and Timber Infill

    www.FORMSTRESS.co.nz The Formstress rib and timber infill system is a well proven economic method of floor
    construction used world wide.
    Typically the Formstress ribs are laid at a standard 900 centres and 25mm thick timber
    formwork placed between. A minimum 75mm thick insitu concrete topping is cast over
    producing a composite, versatile flooring solution.

    Formstress Precast Ribs

    Product Specification:
    Rib depths can vary from 100 to 350mm in height, and up to 12m spans.
    All Formstress precast ribs are cast from 45 MPa (at 28 days) concrete.
    STC 55 rating can be achieved with a rib and timber infill system with 75mm topping
    and plaster board ceiling.
    A fire rating of 90 minutes is achieved by the Formstress ribs in accordance with the NZS
    3101 concrete code. The overall rating of the floor system is dictated by the topping
    thickness, 60 minutes for 75 thick and 90 minutes for 100 thick.
    Insitu topping concrete should be a minimum of 75mm thick and achieve 25 MPa at 28
    days.
    Our Formstress engineers will produce the final design for your ribs, specify the number
    and size of the prestressing stands based on your load requirements and span.
    Refer to NZS 3109:1997 Table 5.1 for precast dimensional tolerances.
    Provide a minimum of 75mm end seating to precast ribs landing on concrete supports
    and 60mm seating on steelwork
    Rib and Timber Infill (cont.)

    www.FORMSTRESS.co.nz Infill Timbers:


    Formstress typically provide H3 treated 150x25 rough-sawn timbers cut to lengths. We
    can also provide timbers dressed one side and with arrised bottom corners for exposed
    situations.
    Installation/Construction:
    Before placing ribs, install props to the required levels. This should be achieved to within
    ±3mm. The propping system (designed by others) must be adequate to carry all
    construction loads. Props should not be removed until the insitu topping has reached 75%
    of the specified concrete strength.
    Insitu concrete toppings should be water or membrane cured for at least 7 days.
    Floor systems with smaller spans may be installed without props on consultation with a
    Formstress engineer.
    Drilling holes through or cutting precast ribs is not recommended and should only be
    undertaken with the written approval of a Formstress engineer.
    General Notes:
    Contact Formstress about any specialist needs you may have. Formstress can in some
    cases improve fire ratings or arrange special concrete mixes to suit your situation.
    Before manufacture can commence the contractor shall sign off the Formstress shop
    drawings certifying that the shop drawings are dimensionally and structurally correct.
    All Formstress precast units are provided with lifting eyes. Chains and strops must be of
    the correct length and not more than 30 degrees of vertical.
    For temporary storage of precast ribs provide bearers each end on level ground.
