Testing semi-prefabricated floors made of prestressed brick elements

Test procedures and results for semi-prefabricated floors made of prestressed brick elements are presented. The load bearing capacity of floors and deflection values following long term load, are tested. The procedure for determining the state of stress of these elements due to prestressing is presented, and the calculation model and procedures used in deflection calculation are described. Measured values are compared with those obtained by calculation based on two methods, and the method whose results correspond to a greater extent to measured values is then selected.
