Structural changes in wooden floor panels during the construction of waiting rooms for railway stations

Abstract

Mass migration of the urban population to the suburbs forces the producers of wooden panel houses, which are considered to be the most economical options for detached house, to constantly modify their products. Over the past 50 years, manufacturers have significantly improved the wooden panel walls. At the moment, work on improving the efficiency of such structures is in progress. However, according to the authors, the floor structure is given undeservedly little attention. In this paper, the process of testing and modifying of a standard floor slab panel, which has not changed in recent years, is described. The authors propose to increase the efficiency of the floor slab panel by adding a drop-beam, which allows not only reducing the prime cost but also to increasing the durability of the panel.
