Three-way steel floor systems encompass a unique structural design that integrates beams running in two perpendicular directions, with an added layer of open-web joists beneath them. Essentially, this design amalgamates the benefits of a two-way system with the versatility and efficiency of open-web joists. The beams provide robust support and distribute loads efficiently in two directions, while the open-web joists enhance the system's depth and flexibility for utility integration.
This combination results in a highly efficient floor system that allows for longer spans, greater load-carrying capacity, and flexibility in layout design, making it suitable for complex and large-scale construction projects.
Three-Way Steel Floors are constructed in a range of sizes with spacing of 6’-15’ (1.83-4.57 m) and typical spans between 12’-100’ (3.66-30.5 m). Three-Way Steel Floors have system depths between 1’4”-12’ (.41-3.66 m) with beam sizes of 4”-36” (10.2-40.6 cm).
