CTF and DIAPASON metal floor connectors fixed using a nail gun

 Date: 2012
City: Vedelago, Treviso (TV)
Type of work: new profiled sheeting floor using CTF and DIAPASON connectors.

Floor with profiled sheeting.

An intermediate mezzanine floor was required inside a prefabricated concrete industrial building. It was decided to create a modular metal structure designed in compliance with anti-seismic requirements. However, this new intermediate floor required a high loading capacity. The solution chosen was a structure with steel columns and beams, profiled sheeting floor and connected slab. The use of a composite structure meant a significant reduction of the total thickness of the floor and the weight of the whole structure, whilst ensuring high load-bearing capacity and anti-seismic characteristics. The assembly operations did not pose any problems, because the cut-to-measure steel beams could be easily carried inside the building and put in place, creating a double-joisted metal structure. The profiled sheeting floor was secured to the structure using connectors.
