The Wellington Condominium project did not make use of large structural steel components but is using a very innovative system called the Hambro’s joist 3” slab on deck composite system. The second, third, and penthouse floor make use of this system. This floor’s bearing and shear wall components were designed into the Wellington Condominium project by the stud engineer and made use of 4” and 6” metal stud walls at 16” o.c. These walls are capable of carrying the loads directly and therefore make it very easy to lay up this composite system. The general steps with advantages to this system are laid out as prescribed by the manufacturers Swirnow Structures. |
