BISON CONCRETE FLOOR TYPES
Bison Concrete Floors are prestressed precast concrete slabs used in all building types
Bison Concrete Floors are manufactured using a long line casting technique with automatic casting equipment which places high strength, low water/ cement ratio concrete under a high degree of vibration and compaction.
BISON HOLLOW CORE & SOLID FLOORS

Widely used in masonry, steel and concrete structures for domestic, commercial and industrial buildings. The most economic ooring solution for the widest variety of situations, providing the maximum benets of speed of construction.
BISON HOLLOW COMPOSITE FLOORS

A combination of the Bison Hollow Core Slab with a structural concrete topping. This type of oor gives the benet of an increased structural performance with an enhanced lateral load distribution where necessary for heavy point loads. The oor may be designed in the unpropped or partially propped condition to suit particular requirements.

BISON CONCRETE FLOOR TYPES
BISON SOLID COMPOSITE FLOORS

Combines the advantages of a precast, prestressed element acting compositely with an in-situ concrete structural topping to form a solid slab. The prestressed element, whilst eliminating the need for conventional shuttering, provides a structural performance far superior to normally reinforced concrete.
THE BISON SOUND SLAB

The Bison Sound Slab has been specially developed to provide an economic and structurally efcient means of satisfying the requirements of Part E Sound Regulations.
Floor Heating and Cooling Systems

As the conservation of energy continues to be a major issue surrounding the environment, Bison has entered into a strategic partnership with velta UK.

HOLLOW CORE FLOORS

THE BENEFITS
DESIGN
StRUCtURAL EFFICIeNCY A Hollow Core slab offers the ideal structural section by reducing deadweight while providing the maximum structural efficiency within the slab depth. FLeXIbILItY OF DesIGN APPROACh Precast floors are available with a variety of factory-formed notches, slots and reinforcement arrangements which offer various design approaches. EXtRA LONG SPANs Factory made prestressed units offer the design benefit of long span units for given depths. This avoids the need for intermediate supports and provides an economically light solution throughout the entire structure. The Bison long span 450mm-deep unit can span in excess of 16 metres.
MANUFACTURING
FACtORY PROdUCed tO RIGOROUs QUALItY StANdARds Because precast floors are factory produced, they are manufactured in an environment which is more readily controlled than a building site. Quality control systems are properly implemented and are independently examined on a regular basis under the British Standards Institution Quality Assurance Scheme, BS EN ISO 9001 approved. DIAPhRAGM ACtION FIRe ResIstANCe Standard precast floors can be supplied with a fire resistance of up to two hours. Periods in excess of this can be provided with modified sections if required. PReFORMed SIte SeRVICes FINIshed SOFFIts Precast floors are manufactured on high quality steel beds and, in appropriate cases, are suitable for direct decoration. Exposed soffits can easily be accommodated. Precast floors can be provided with factory formed service holes, thus avoiding laborious setting out and shuttering on site. Precast floor slabs are structurally grouted to provide a floor with full diaphragm action, as required in most multistorey frameworks. SheLF ANGLe BeARING Slab ends can be notched during manufacture to facilitate a bearing within the depth of a main steel support. This minimises storey height, causing substantial cost benefits from reduced cladding, lower internal fittings and other related peripherals.
CONSTRUCTION
MINIMUM IN-sItU CONCRete With a precast floor, a lot of the work is done off site. This eliminates what can be complex, time-consuming and weather-affected site work. SPeed OF EReCtION Time-consuming activities such as propping, shuttering and concrete-pouring are virtually eliminated. IMMedIAte UNPROPPed WORKING PLAtFORM Once a precast floor is erected, it is immediately available as a working platform. In comparison, steel deck systems can present problems in achieving level surfaces while concrete is being poured, and in enabling access while in the propped condition.

CASE STUDIES
COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AND CAR PARKS
The office block shown is the British Gas offices in Solihull, West Midlands. This is a typical commercial application where the structural form consists of a steel frame with 7.5 x 8.7m bays and 200mm precast Hollow Core units spanning 7.5m. A total of 9100m2 of precast units were used and 40m3 of precast stair. Multi storey car park in Nuneaton where 10,000m2 of 150mm deep Hollow Core oor units and 67m3 of precast stair units was used to provide excellent durability and performance in a busy, robust car park environment.
RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS
The IKEA outlet in Manchester is constructed using a steel frame with precast unit floors. Over 40,000m2 of 200mm deep Hollow Core precast floor units were used in the construction. The grid reflected the use of car park, retail and offices on different floors. Drake Circus Shopping Centre located in Plymouth used 19,000m 2 across a combination of Hollow Core floor profiles from 200mm up to 450mm deep.
HOSPITAL & STADIA DEVELOPMENTS

Pictured is a hospital in Exeter constructed using a steel frame structure with 200mm and 300mm deep Hollow Core units used to span up to 9m. This provided flexibility in span lengths and optimised design for the applied loads over 4,250m 2 floor area throughout. Millennium Stadium in Cardiff used over 48,000m2 of precast Hollow Core floor units and over 380 precast stair units.

LOAD/SPAN TABLE
A Bison Hollow Composite Floor is a Bison Hollow Core Slab with a structural concrete topping. This combination delivers increased structural performance overall, with an improved lateral load distribution where necessary for heavy point loads. The floor may be designed in the unpropped or partially propped condition to suit particular requirements. It is particularly suitable for industrial buildings, high buildings, car parks or other structures where additional longitudinal and transverse tying is required.

THE BENEFITS
USER BENEFITS
SOUNd ResIstANCe The single most common complaint in relation to housing is noise nuisance. Timber oors have little sound resistance and most people will be familiar with the problems and the inconvenience of sound transmission, particularly from upstairs to downstairs. Precast concrete oors provide an extremely efcient sound barrier between separate living areas. MAINteNANCe Precast concrete is an inert material. It does not shrink and warp like timber and does not produce the cracking of plasterwork and other finishes which result in an ongoing and costly maintenance problem. Concrete is not subject to damage from rot or insect attack. SqUeAKY FLOORs Another problem associated with the shrinkage of timber materials is the squeaking between boards and joists when walked upon. This is extremely irritating and very expensive to rectify. This problem does not exist with a concrete floor. FACtORY PROdUCed tO RIGOROUs QUALItY StANdARds Because precast floors are factory produced, they are manufactured in an environment which is more readily controlled than a building site. Quality control systems in Bison factories are properly implemented and are independently examined on a regular basis under The British Standards Institution Quality Management System dened in BS EN ISO 9001. FIRe Adequate re resistance is an important design feature of any modern building. It has long been recognised that oors between ats in multi-occupancy housing should have a high level of re resistance. Consequently, these are almost always constructed in concrete in order to satisfy the Building Regulations. It seems reasonable that a similar level of protection should be afforded to those living in houses. Concrete is, of course, a non-combustible material and it also acts as a solid barrier which will contain not only the re but the smoke, which is the primary cause of most fatalities in fire accidents.
CONSTRUCTION BENEFITS
DesIGN FLeXIbILItY Unlike timber, a precast concrete floor provides a structural platform which gives the house designer greater freedom in supporting upper floor wall partitions to virtually any layout. Furthermore with a concrete upper floor the partitions can be built in blockwork with its greater sound resistance, instead of timber stud. SIte SAFetY SPeed OF EReCtION Typically a single precast floor slab is up to 10 square metres in area and can be laid in minutes. Dependent upon site conditions and house sizes, the floors to several houses can normally be completed in one day. PReFORMed SeRVICe PROVIsION Precast concrete floors can be provided with factory-formed service holes to accommodate all the necessary service routes with ease. Once a precast concrete floor is erected it is immediately available as a working platform. Combined with Trailasafe synthetic mesh for trailer deck fall arrest, and the Bison Air Mat for roll-off fall protection, this creates the safest possible environment for site workers. StRUCtURAL EFFICIeNCY A Hollow Core slab offers the ideal structural section by reducing the deadweight whilst providing the maximum structural efficiency with the minimum slab depth. This offers the design benefit of longer spans, thus reducing the lengths of internal loadbearing walls and foundations.

CASE STUDIES
TERRACED SINGLE OCCUPANCY HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS
Pictured is part of a large housing development based in London. Over 578m2 of 150mm Hollow Core floor units were used throughout for 1st and 2nd floor applications across varying design type houses, typically from town type, 2 floor houses, to traditional 1st floor houses. Hollow Core floors have been installed by many housebuilders, both large and small, for terraced developments.
DETACHED HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS

Pictured is a detached housing development based in Warwick. The development was a mix of three, four and five bedroom detached houses, where 250m 2 of 150mm Hollow Core units were used throughout the plot for all first floor applications. Further detached developments using Hollow Core floors have been constructed across the country, from Sterling in Scotland to Portsmouth in England.

The Building Regulations Part L1A, L2A 2006 Conservation of fuel and power require that a building is airtight and pressure testing for this is covered by regulation 54. The regulations no longer allow the elemental method and a building needs to be considered as a whole to satisfy the requirements of the regulations. Bison can provide an insulated slab to give a thermal U value of 0.22W/m2 for the floor and greater if required. For fUrther HELP AND INFORMATION PLEASE CALL OUR TECHNICAL HELP LINE: 01283 495334

HOLLOW CORE FLOORS

THE BENEFITS
SPeed OF EReCtION Time consuming activities such as propping, shuttering and concrete pouring are virtually eliminated. LIFtING HOOKs Bison can supply Hollow Core units with cast-in lifting hooks that speed up the installation and bring associated Health & Safety benefits. IMMedIAte UNPROPPed WORKING PLAtFORM Propping is generally not required with Hollow Core floors. Once a precast floor is erected it is immediately available as a working platform. In comparison, steel deck systems can present problems in achieving level surfaces while concrete is poured, and in enabling access while in the propped condition. MINIMUM IN-sItU CONCRete With a precast floor a lot of the work is done off-site. This eliminates on-site work that can be complex, time-consuming and weather affected. EXtRA LONG SPANs Factory-made prestressed units offer the design advantage of long span units for given depths. This can avoid the need for intermediate supports. DIAPhRAGM ACtION Precast floor slabs, when structurally grouted, provide a floor with full diaphragm action to the building. A structural concrete topping is not required. FLeXIbILItY OF DesIGN APPROACh Precast floors can provide the technical solution for the requirements of Part A of the Building Regulations 2004 for Disproportionate Collapse. FACtORY-PROdUCed tO RIGOROUs QUALItY StANdARds Because precast floors are factory-produced, they are manufactured in an environment which is more controlled than a building site. Quality control systems are properly implemented and are independently examined on a regular basis, under the British Standards Institution Quality Management Scheme defined in BS EN ISO 9001:2000. StRUCtURAL EFFICIeNCY A Hollow Core slab offers the ideal structural section by reducing the deadweight whilst providing the maximum structural efficiency within the slab depth. PReFORMed SIte SeRVICes Precast floors can be provided with factory formed service holes, thus avoiding laborious setting out and shuttering on-site. SOUNd ReqUIReMeNts BUILdING ReGULAtIONs PARt E In new-build attached dwellings a developer may choose between Pre-Completion Testing (PCT.) or, if available, a Robust Detail (RD). Bison Concrete Products have developed a series of solutions to cover the use of precast concrete units in association with masonry buildings and steel and concrete frames. Solutions have been developed and testing is in the process of being completed prior to an application for Robust Detail status. COMPOsIte SteeL BeAM DesIGN Composite Steel Beam Design incorporating either Hollow Core or solid slabs provides a structural and cost efficient solution for steel frames. It reduces total tonnage of steel beams by up to 40% and also reduces the number of components to be erected.

TRACK RECORD
MULTI-STOREY HOUSING
The three block housing development in Windsor consisted of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and roof with the other two blocks being 1st, 2nd and roof. All three blocks used 200mm deep Hollow Core sound slab flooring with 3897m2 used throughout the scheme and 30m3 of concrete precast stairs.
MULTI-STOREY HOUSING
The housing development in Worcester, which used 1,700m 2 of 200mm deep Hollow Core sound slab flooring and 10m3 of precast concrete stairs. This included one three storey block and one 4 storey block.
MULTI-STOREY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS

This multi-storey residential development used precast Hollow Core floors within a steel frame structure. The development is in Walsall, Birmingham, and used 1500m 2 of 200mm deep Hollow Core sound slab flooring, plus 29m3 of precast stair units. A flat, uninterrupted soffit was achieved with the Hollow Core units, spanning 6.1m between downstand beams, which were at separating wall positions.

BEARING DETAILS
The recommendations for bearings of precast units are set out in Clause 5.2.3 of B.S. 8110:1997. These vary according to the type of floor construction and the type of support material and building tolerances. In general, nominal bearings of 100mm on masonry or 75mm on steelwork are recommended but may be reduced dependent upon circumstances and subject to the above clause.

Composite steel beam design incorporating Hollow Core or solid slabs provides a structural and cost efficient solution for steel frames. It reduces total tonnage of steel beams by up to 40% and also reduces the number of components to be erected.
Definition
Composite steel beam design is the use of Hollow Core or solid slabs together with in-situ infill in conjunction with welded studs onto steel beams. This enables the slabs and beams to act compositely together, enhancing the load capacity of the steel beams.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & HEALTH AND SAFETY
BISON PRECAST FLOORING

SPECIFICATIONS
MANUFACTURE 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5
Bison floors are manufactured by the long line prestressed method using slip form or extrusion techniques. The units are cast on heated steel beds within an enclosed factory environment. The materials used in the manufacture of Bison floors comply with the relevant British Standard for that material. An air entraining agent complying with BS EN 934-2-2001 is included in the concrete mix to improve workability. Reinforcement is generally 5mm diameter high tensile wire or 12.5mm diameter strand complying with the requirements of B.S.5896:1980. Bison units are sawn to length on the manufacturing bed and are supplied as standard with plain sawn ends with open cores.
DIMENSIONS 2.1
Bison units are manufactured in nominal sizes as follows : Standard nominal width of all units is 1200mm. Solid : Depth 75mm 100mm Hollow : Depth 150mm 200mm 260mm 300mm 250mm 400mm 450mm Cross-sectional tolerances are within the limits set out in clause 6.2.8.3. of B.S. 8110:1997. Length tolerances are 20 mm. Bison units will have an upward camber due to pre-stressing as described in clause 6.2.8.4. of B.S.8110:1997. Edges are shaped to form a grout joint giving a shear key to distribute load to adjacent units. Where non-standard widths are provided the edge will be rough cut from a standard unit.
2.2 2.3 2.4
FINISHES 3.1
Concrete surface finish to soffit is Type A finish as described in clause 6.2.7.3. of B.S.8110:1997. The soffit is suitable for the direct application of a textured paint finish where this is applied in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Where a plaster finish is intended it may be necessary to use a bonding agent in accordance with the instructions of the plaster manufacturer. Plaster finishes are not recommended on longer spans.
3.2 3.3
Sides and top surfaces are as extruded as described in Table 5.5 of B.S.8110:1997. Units may accumulate water within the cores due to exposure during the construction programme. The General Contractor should drill weep holes as necessary, or keep them clear where they are provided during manufacture.

SPECIFICATIONS
DESIGN 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4
The design of Bison units is in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of B.S.8110:1997 The Structural Use of Concrete. Load/Span capacity : The reinforcement pattern within a Bison section will vary according to the design loading specified. EXposure Condition : The standard Bison section is suitable for a XCI exposure classification as defined in Table 3.2 of BS 8500:2002. Other exposure classes can be adopted subject to design approval from Bison Technical Department. Fire Resistance : Fire resistance is based upon the tabulated data contained within B.S. 8110 Part 2 Section 4. Sections are available for fire periods of 1 hour or 2 hours, without the addition of further finishes.These periods of fire resistance may be further enhanced by the application of appropriate finishes. Serviceability : The standard Bison section is designed to meet the criteria of Class 3 as set out in clause 4.1.3 of B.S.8110.1997 Designs to Class 1 and Class 2 are available if required. Sound Insulation : The requirements of The Building Regulations are that a floor construction incorporating the use of precast concrete units should have a minimum mass which is dependent upon whether the finishes to the top surface are directly applied or are on a separating layer. The mass of Bison unit sections are given in the technical data and are net weights of standard hollow sections. HoriZontal & Vertical Ties : Ties necessary to satisfy the requirements for accidental damage should be specified by the Engineer with responsibility for the design of the overall structure in accordance with the Code of Practice.
4.5 4.6 4.7
4.8 Bearings : Level and structurally adequate bearings for Bison precast units should be provided by other contractors. These should generally be 100 mm for masonry or 75 mm for concrete or steelwork, but may be reduced in accordance with clause 5.2.3 of B.S.8110:1997. 4.9 Holes : Small holes up to 60 mm diameter may be drilled on site through the Hollow Cores, care being taken to avoid damage to the reinforced ribs. Larger holes may be cut subject to the design capacity of the slab. 4.10 Grouting : Joints between units should be grouted with a 30 N/mm2 concrete using a 6 mm nominal aggregate size. 4.11
Propping : Where the slab design requires site propping, this should be carried out in strict accordance with the Bison drawings.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
Safety Dos & Donts
The dos & donts listed below are by no means fully exhaustive-you should also refer to the current issue of the Precast Flooring Federation Code of Practice available on Tel 0116 253 6161. Do not alter the product without written permission from Bison Design Office, altering the product may compromise its structural integrity and lead to failure. This includes notching, hole forming, shortening, narrowing the unit etc. Do not alter the product in-situ, any permissible alterations must be completed on a flat stable platform. i.e. on the ground or floor area. Do not allow anyone to walk or work beneath the product whilst it is being hoisted or suspended. Do not work in areas without the appropriate perimeter edge protection, handrails, guardrails, platforms or stages. Do not access working areas without properly constructed, maintained, secured and illuminated, stairways, ramps, ladders or the like. Where lifting hooks are specified within a contract, do hoist the units by crane using ALL the lifting points in the top surface provided for that purpose. Prior to lifting safety chains must be loosely slung around the underside of the unit. The safety chains may only be released immediately before the slab is placed in its final position. For insurance purposes, Bison do not supply or hire lifters or chain sets. Please refer to our information sheets for details of supplier hire or purchase. Do not run plant or store equipment on the precast floor before it is grouted and cured. Once cured do not exceed the loads specified by the engineer. Do use a passive fall protection system wherever reasonably practicable considering all heights where the potential fall distance could result in an injury. Do ensure that perimeter edge scaffolding is positioned no more than 900mm below the bearing level particularly on masonry construction. Do ensure all voids created whilst placing units are adequately protected during and after erection. Do ensure all brickwork, blockwork or concrete is adequately cured, stable and fit to receive precast concrete units, and that steelwork is stable. Do ensure the stability of support beams, lintels etc. is considered, particularly the rotation of support member due to unequal loading. Do ensure you include allowance for site handling by referring to the unit weight table. Do ensure that all lifting equipment is supplied, used and inspected in accordance with current legislation. Do ensure all lifting operations are completed and in accordance with current legislation. Do wear adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) whilst handling or cutting concrete. NOTE; Due to the principle constituents of cement, the liquid released whilst drilling drainage points etc is likely to have a caustic effect on the eyes and skin. For further information or to obtain the latest issue COSHH data sheet for cement call our Health & Safety Department at our Burton office Tel 01283 495000.

Bison Lifting Hooks

This is a unique system from Bison, available with our Hollow Core flooring. The hooks are machine inserted during the production process, for which Bison holds the European patent. The hooks enable faster, safer and more accurate erection. They also offer cost savings by minimising damage to soffit and blockwork bearings.
HEATED AND COOLED SLABS

Bison and velta have joined forces to provide an innovative, sustainable and cost effective oor heating and cooling system which is precast in to Bison ooring products.
DESIGN
The system utilises low temperature water for heating and high temperature water for cooling to condition a building, which provides the opportunity to use renewable energy sources. A sustainable alternative, which can significantly reduce CO2 emissions over the life of the building. Substantial savings in investment, maintenance and operational costs, compared to conventional air-conditioning systems. The requirements for flexible space utilisation and variable partitioning are easily met. Clear benefits to occupants, no noise and no draughts, producing a comfortable and productive environment.
MANUFACTURING
Precast concrete elements are designed and constructed in the factory with a velta PE-Xa pipe matrix cast directly into the precast slab or Hollow Core unit to offer a combined heating and cooling solution. This service covers the design, off-site manufacture and installation of precast, pre-stressed Hollow Core ooring, precast multi-storey wall panel structures and other bespoke solutions with an in built heating and cooling capability.
CONSTRUCTION
Off-site production reduces construction programmes and improves quality control. Elimination of suspended ceilings can reduce building

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRODUCTS

Health and Safety is a major concern for Bison, and we have developed a range of methods and systems which help to ensure that anyone using Bison products can do so with minimal risk to themselves or others.
Trailasafe
Trailasafe is designed to prevent or mitigate injuries resulting from falls from trailer decks. Comprising synthetic mesh suspended from a series of brackets housing support arms, the system arrests the fall of personnel, absorbing the energy of their descent and ensuring their safety. Fully demountable, the system can be stored within the vehicle or at the unloading point.
THE BISON AIR MAT

The Bison Air Mat system has been tested by the BRE and approved by the HSE. The Bison Air Mat system comprises a series of interconnected and interlinked mats available in a wide range of standard sizes. Using a combination of modules they will accommodate almost any floor area. Where the edges of an area to be protected are open, or have large vertical voids that may pose the hazard of roll-off fall to a lower area, special parapet and corner mats can be provided.
Hole Covers
Voids such as service holes, formed in precast oor units are trip hazards and have the potential to cause serious injuries. Bisons solution is the Hole Filler: a strong yet slimlined product which is suitable for most holes. The yellow, anti-slip cover is fully reusable and comes in two sizes, 250mm or 350mm square. Each may be either screwed down or tted without the need for power tools, by spreading the unit legs, locking it into position.
