Hollow Core

• 8”, 10”, 12”, 14”

thicknessess

• 5,000 – 7,000 square

feet installed in one day

• Provides an instant
working deck for
other trades

• Storage in yard
waiting for transport
Hollow Core

• Spans 50 feet plus

• Continuous installation
minimizing down time on
site for other trades

• Proper co-ordination
and quick installation
allows for a fast-paced

To keep the cost competitive, the precast is manufactured with varying numbers of strand. The above chart shows where
the reinforcement is located from 3 to 11 strands in 8”, 10”, 12” & 14” thick hollowcore.
Hollow Core Technical Stats

FIRE RATING
The National Building Code (N.B.C.) requires the following factors in achieving a 2-hour fire
rating for the precast hollow core slabs:
A) T able 2.2.A, subsection from sentence 2.2.1.(1) indicates a minimal thickness of 124 mm
of equivalent thickness is required as specified under subsection 1.6 of the N.B.C.
The equivalent thickness of the 200 mm (8”) hollow core slab is 125 mm (therefore exceeding
the 124 mm minimum).
B) T able 2.2.B. subsection from sentence 2.2.1.(2) indicates a minimal concrete coverage of
39 mm over the reinforcement strands is required. The precast extrusion machine provides
the minimal 39 mm coverage.

SOUND TRANSMISSION RATING

The CPCI Metric Design Manual (second edition) indicates the following standards for the
200 mm thick hollow core slabs:
A) The Sound Transmission Rating (STC) is 50.
B) Impact Insulation Class (IIC) is 28. Floor coverings and finishes can increase the ratings
(see the CPCI manual for additional information)

WARRANTY
Stubbe’s Precast will guarantee the precast hollow core will be free of any defects occurred from
standard usage. The precast is C.S.A. approved and is manufactured using the standard practices.
Upon substantial completion of the project the guarantee is in effect for one (1) year.
Hollow Core Specifications

1. General:
a. Included:
i. Precast Hollow Core floor and roof slabs.
ii. Rebar connections.
iii. Grouting of slab joints.
2. Reference Material:
a. CSA A23.4-09: Precast Concrete Material & Construction.
b. Precast Concrete Institute (PCI): Manual on Design of Connections for Precast.
c. Precast Concrete Institute (PCI): Design Handbook – Precast & Prestressed Concrete.
3. Shop Drawings:
a. Approval drawings will require a review by the Contractor & Design Firms under contract of each project.
Discrepancies, questions & verification of design is required and returned in writing prior to commencement of
production.
b. Production drawings will bear a signed and sealed Engineer stamp, slab locations, identification marks, connection
details, dimensions, openings larger than 6” in size, loadings and other relative information.
4. Quality Assurance:
a. Conformity to PCI manual on design of connection for Precast Prestressed Concrete, PCI Design Handbook – Precast &
Prestressed Concrete, CSA A23.4.
5. Accessories:
a. Bearing pads: 1/8” thick masonite hardboard, smooth side up.
b. Styrofoam discs: 2: thick on exterior walls only if required.
c. Hanger frames: Welded angles used to provide large mechanical openings through precast. Size and configuration
varies with opening required.
6. Finishes:
a. Top surface:
i. Extruded (standard surface from extruded method).
ii. Raked (roughened surface to allow improved bond with concrete topping supplied by others).
b. Bottom surface:
i. “Standard” steel form finish.
7. Installation:
a. Install slabs with corresponding identification mark as indicated on production / shop drawing.
b. Place bearing pads and insert Styrofoam discs in cores where required.
c. Drill or weld tie steel rebar connections as per production / shop drawings.
d. Grout joints between precast slabs.
e. Drill holes for plumbing trade (located in field by others). Do not cut reinforcing strand unless engineered in the
design.
f. Latex caulking of joints between precast slabs on the underside where exposed to view.
g. Floor preparation will vary depending on final flooring material and finish.
8. Excluded items related to precast and installation:
a. Drypacking / infill of gap between precast and structure.
b. Perimeter caulking between precast and structure.
c. Drilling of holes for electrical trade.
d. Winter heat / protection from weather conditions.
e. Concrete topping if required in design.
f. Clip angles around column penetrations through precast.
g. Site / field dimensions (Contractor and Project Designers responsible to provide information
during shop drawing approval).
