Abstract
Abstract There are disclosed methods of splicing reinforcement across joints of pre-cast reinforced concrete sub-slabs for integrating such sub-slabs to define the underside layer of composite concrete continuously reinforced slabs formed without separate formwork other than shoring for the sub-slabs to define continuously reinforced spans and two-way flat plates, sub-slabs for use therein, joints formed thereby and building structures formed thereby.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
A concrete panel suitable for incorporation into a composite concrete two-way slab system, which comprises: a generally planar relatively thin sub-slab having a generally flat upper surface; a series of reinforcing bars embedded within said sub-slab and extending transversely substantially entirely thereacross and in a generally parallel alignment with each other; each of said bars having two end portions and an intermediate portion therebetween; the intermediate portion of each of said bars being wholly embedded in said sub-slab and lying generally parallel and adjacent to said lower surface; each of said end portions being bent upward in a continuous curve through an angle of at least 180° with the center point of the bend being above the upper surface of said sub-slab and the lower portion of said continuous curve being embedded in said sub-slab; the length of the free portion of each of said end portions being equal to at least six times the diameter of the bar; and the height of said bend being sufficient to provide a confined bearing load to concrete filled within the bend in a composite system lower than the allowable confined bearing load of the concrete fill.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A concrete panel suitable for incorporation into a composite concrete two-way slab system, which comprises: a generally planar relatively thin sub-slab having a generally flat upper surface; a series of reinforcing bars embedded within said sub-slab and extending transversely substantially entirely thereacross and in a generally parallel alignment with each other; each of said bars having two end portions and an intermediate portion therebetween; the intermediate portion of each of said bars being wholly embedded in said sub-slab and lying generally parallel and adjacent to said lower surface; each of said end portions being bent upward in a continuous curve through an angle of at least 180° with the center point of the bend being above the upper surface of said sub-slab and the lower portion of said continuous curve being embedded in said sub-slab; the length of the free portion of each of said end portions being equal to at least six times the diameter of the bar; and the height of said bend being sufficient to provide a confined bearing load to concrete filled within the bend in a composite system lower than the allowable confined bearing load of the concrete fill.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The panel of claim 1 further comprising a series of reinforcing trusses aligned substantially parallel to each other and generally perpendicular to said reinforcing bars, and with the lower chord of each of said trusses embedded in said sub-slab.
