Composite Floors: A Theoretical Research into the Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Floors with a Bigger Unpropped Span of 7.2 m

In the Netherlands buildings are designed using a grid with multiples of 3.6 meter. Within these designs floor spans of 7.2 meter are popular (double grid size). The deep decks of composite floors at this moment in time are designed to reach an unpropped span of 5.5 meter. This master research is focused on finding a possible deck design for a...

Adding stories on top of the existing building by using steel structures. Case study: Dillenburgsingel project in Leidschendam

This study intends to develop a design method of adding more stories on existing building by using a case study of construction project in Leidschendam where 9-stories are to be added on existing 6-storey residential building. A low riser building is to be changed into multistory building. The state-of-art of the project was designed by the...
