Small depth long-span timber floor design with self-tensioned systems
The design of long-span timber floors, which are able to bear overloaded public spaces, requires the use of beams with large depths to meet the requirements of the serviceability limit state. This article studies the use of a self-tensioning system that, in combination with a pre-stressing, allows designing wooden structural floors that are able to remain practically horizontal in service load situations with depths that are no greater than 1/30 of the span. Several situations are studied, with spans between 9 and 18 m and variable loads of 3.0 and 5.0 kN/m2. These situations obtain deflections below 1/1000 of the span under a total load set-up.
