General framing layout of


the pan joist system.

One-Way Joist
Construction

Definition: Pan joist floor


systems are series of closely
spaced cast-in-place T-beams
or joists used for long-span
floors with relatively light
loads. Typically removable
metal forms (fillers or pans)
are used to form joists.

Joist Floor Systems


• SNI Requirements for Joist Construction
(Sec. 10.11, SNI 2847)
– Slabs and ribs must be cast monolithically.
– Ribs must be spaced consistently
– Ribs may not be less than 100 mm in width

Joist Floor Systems
• SNI Requirements for Joist Construction (cont.)
(Sec. 10.11, SNI 2847)
– Depth of ribs may not be more than 3.5 times
the minimum rib width
– Clear spacing between ribs shall not exceed 750
mm.
** Ribbed slabs not meeting these requirements
are designed as slabs and beams. **

Joist Floor Systems


• Slab Thickness
– (SNI Sec. 10.11.6.1)

t ≥ 50 mm for joist formed with 500 mm wide pans

t ≥ 62,5 mm for joist formed with 750 mm wide pans

Joist Floor Systems
• Slab Thickness (cont.)
– Building codes give minimum fire resistance rating:

1-hour fire rating: 20 mm. cover, 75-90 mm slab


thickness

2-hour fire rating: 25 mm. cover, 110 mm slab


thickness

– Note the shapes

Joist Floor Systems
• Standard Removable Form Dimensions

– Standard Widths: 500 mm. & 750 mm.


(measured at bottom of ribs)

– Standard Depths: 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400


or 500 mm.

Joist Floor Systems


• Standard Removable Form Dimensions (cont.)

– End Forms: one end is closed (built-in) to form


the supporting beam

– Tapered End Forms: provide additional shear


capacity at ends of joists by tapering ends to
increase rib width.

• Laying Out Pan Joist Floors

– Rib/slab thickness
• Governed by strength, fire rating, available space

– Overall depth and rib thickness


• Governed by deflections and shear

Joist Floor Systems


• Laying Out Pan Joist Floors (cont.)

– Typically no stirrups are used in joists

– Reducing Forming Costs:


• Use constant joist depth for entire floor
• Use same depth for joists and beams (not
always possible)

9
Joist Floor Systems
• Distribution Ribs
–Placed perpendicular to joists*
–Spans < 6m.: None
–Spans 6-9 m.: Provided a midspan
–Spans > 9 m.: Provided at third-points
–At least one continuous 13mm bar is provided
at top and bottom of distribution rib.
*Note: not required by the Code, but typically
used in construction
