Thermal capacity of composite floor slabs
Highlights Thermal equivalent values for ribbed slabs using trapezoidal decking are obtained. These effective properties are input into thermal simulation models that consider flat elements. The heat storage of composite slabs was compared to a concrete flat slab for typical offices. The results using ‘thermal equivalent slab’ data were compared to a simplified heat transfer. The thermal capacity effect of the floor was more noticeable for an office in Berlin than in London.
Abstract Objective Thermal building simulation tools take account of the thermal capacity of the walls and floors by a one-dimensional characterization. The objective was to obtain thermal equivalent parameters for ribbed or composite slab elements that can be input into one-dimensional models. Method Transient finite element calculations (FEM) were used to establish the heat transfer to and from composite floors using four deck profiles and for daily heating cycles in compartments with defined heat gains and operating conditions. Results The performance of composite slabs was compared to a concrete flat slab for a typical office in the UK and Germany. It was shown that a deep ribbed slab generates a maximum heat flux of 30.5W/m2 for a 5°C temperature variation about the mean, and that the daily heat absorbed by a typical composite slab was 220Wh/m2 floor area. Conclusions Using the thermal capacity of the ribbed floor slabs, the comfort conditions defined in terms of the number of hours over 25°C are acceptable for many classes of offices. Practical implications Thermally equivalent properties of ribbed slabs can be used in conventional software to predict the thermal performance.
