Please Note! Clear spans shown above are in increments of 150mm and the safe working Loads indicated are based on the clear span plus 150mm of bearing each end.

Our lintels are supplied in a standard range of lengths and can be cut to length as required.

The safe working load per metre is the least of the flexural strength, the shear strength or the load that gives a deflection limit of L/325.

Deflection information is available for our full range of lintels, please see Supreme DoP or contact our technical department.

Lengths indicated * are not available in all section sizes

The safe working loads indicated in the grey band on the shorter spans are governed by shear. The safe working loads indicated in the grey band on the longer spans are not great relative to the span, these lintels should be used with caution.

Note 1: No assistance from composite brickwork is assumed or included in these figures.

Note 2: Bearings: Minimum bearing length to be 150mm each. Where required provide suitable padstones. Ensure, however, that all bearings are sound.

Note 3: Where information on self weights of individual units is given this is intended for guidance purposes only. They are subject to change depending upon changes to the raw materials used so it is important to check the actual weights before use if this is a critical factor.

HI-STRENGTH LINTELS - TEXTURED FINISH

These lintels are not universal and must be used in the correct orientation.

Please Note! Clear spans shown are in increments of 150mm

and the safe working loads indicated are based on the clear

span plus 150mm of bearing each end. Our lintels are supplied

in a standard range of lengths and can be cut to length as

required.

The safe working load per metre is the least of the flexural

strength, the shear strength or the load that gives a deflection

limit of L/325.

Deflection information is available for our full range of lintels,

please see Supreme DoP or contact our technical department.


The Supreme Beam and Block Flooring System saves time and cost on site. The floor is quick to install without the need for specialist skills. Site preparation is reduced and no hardcore or oversite concreting is required. Also, internal foundations can be reduced.

Once installed the system is rot and draught proof creating an excellent base for the addition of thermal insulation. The floor provides an immediate working platform allowing building works to continue without delay. The Supreme Beam and Block Flooring System is ideal for a wide range of uses ranging from housing to flats and offices.

155mm 155mm




SUSPENDED BEAM & BLOCK FLOOR

Ensure that the ground beneath the floor is cleared of top soil and vegetation. No oversite concreting is required.

Ventilation

Provision should be made for a void beneath the floor, the depth of which should be at least 150mm but may vary depending on site conditions. To meet Local Authority and NHBC requirements, the void should be ventilated. Ventilation openings should be placed to enable the free flow of air to the complete under floor area. Ventilators should be placed frequently enough to the perimeter of the building to give suitable ventilation. Supreme supply plastic telescopic void ventilators with a range of coloured plastic air bricks.

Installation

It is essential that the floor beams be handled and stacked the correct way up, they should be lifted as close to the ends as possible and no damaged beams should be used in the installation. It is important that all mortar in the preceding work is adequately cured, having enough strength to give support to the floor being installed.

PAGE 60

Ensure that all mortar and debris is removed from the bearing points and they are level and true. Generally a DPC should be placed over all bearings before laying a ground floor. Beams should have a nominal bearing of 100mm on the masonry.

Please adhere to starting beams on our working drawings and set beams out bay by bay. Take note of critical partition walls etc. Ensure all beams are parallel and that there is a nominal 18mm bearing for the block.

Install closure blocks after laying infill blocks.

The floor should be completed as soon as possible by brushing in a wet grout mix of 1:3 cement and sharp washed sand, a stiffer mix of the same proportions should be used to fill any double or multiple beams, these joints should be "hard packed". The floor should be cleaned and wetted prior to grouting to enable grout to penetrate and to provide a firm construction. Prestressed floor beams have an upward camber. The camber should be considered especially on larger spans and / or when non-screed finishes are specified. A levelling screed could be incorporated.

Domestic Garage Use

When a beam and block floor is used in a domestic garage or similar application where high concentrated loads are evident, a reinforced screed must be applied directly to the top of the beams and blocks. The screed should have a compressive strength of 21N/mm2 with light steel mesh reinforcement, such as an A98 steel mesh.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

PAGE 63

Beam Manufacture

Beams are manufactured by the slip form method providing a textured finish to facilitate improved bonding performance. The characteristic T-profile of the Supreme floor beam also lends itself to a strong bond being established between the beam and the in-fill grout. They are designed and manufactured in accordance with EN 15037-1:2008.

Produced to a concrete strength class of C50/60. The raw materials used comply with EN Standards.

Ground Floor (Application)

Supreme beams are 155mm deep, and manufactured in two widths with the same side profile. They are 120mm and 170mm wide. Note! Wide beams are available at lengths over 4000mm only. They can be used with any suitable infill block by any manufacturer, subject to design requirements and specification.

The infill block may be selected to suit budget, strength or thermal and sound recommendations as required. Aerated blocks sometimes have a larger face size than standard blocks. Care must be taken when the infill block is bedded into a load bearing wall as the floor blocks must be of the same crushing strength, or stronger, than the requirement of the wall.

Upper Floor (Application)

Supreme T Beams are also suitable for upper floors in domestic dwellings where for example a dense floor is required to create a "quiet home" or the first floor partitions are to be of block work, which can be supported by the floor.

Compartment Floors between Dwellings

Specific performance specifications are required in accordance with the building regulations in respect of infill blocks and directly applied screeds.

Thermal Considerations

Building Regulations Approved Document Part L (The conservation of fuel and power). The document gives advice on limiting heat loss through the fabric of the building and gives methods of assessment to show compliance.

The choice of materials used in the construction of the ground floor will obviously have an effect on the U value of the floor.

The beam and infill block are only two elements in the make up of the floor however the chosen infill blocks will have bearing on the U value and/or level of additional insulation required. For example, when using dense concrete infill blocks, a layer of insulation over the structural floor but below the finish of either screed or timber would suffice. The thickness of insulation would vary depending on U value required to be achieved. However, the thickness of insulation could be reduced if the infill blocks in the floor were of aerated concrete.

Upon request, Supreme Concrete can produce bespoke designs for projects where polystyrene infill panel floors are preferred to conventional infill blocks for their thermal properties. Your floor can be designed in conjunction with panels from leading suppliers in the market.

Safety

Until the floor is grouted, shuttering board or scaffold planks should be used as a spreader over the beams and blocks to take any barrow or other wheeled loads at all times. Any loads placed on the floor should not exceed the load for which the floor was designed; these loads should be short term and kept to the minimum.

For more specific advice please contact the Supreme Technical Department on 01795 433580

WIDE BEAM LOAD / SPAN TABLES

The clear spans shown for the domestic garage loading condition rely on a reinforced screed directly applied to the top of the beams and blocks. The screed should have a compressive strength of 21N/mm2 with light steel mesh reinforcement.

In our design process the wider beam can be fully interchangeable with the standard beam in the same floor.

The wider beam provides a superior design for larger span floors replacing the need for double or triple beams.

All clear spans are greater than shown in original brochure

This table to be used for replacement values only - shown bold

Wider beams mean faster installation due to:

• Fewer units to lift

• Simpler layouts

• Less grouting

methods this could be prohibitively expensive, however using Stepoc, the creation of the extra space becomes a practical option.

The advantages of using Stepoc for basements are:

• The 325mm block thickness allows cavity walls to be built directly off the top

• The cost of construction is known once the dig out is complete

• No shuttering or formwork for in situ concrete walls are required as the purpose designed interlocking blocks are laid dry to form wall

• The simple and quick build process saves time on site

• Access for staircases can be easily designed into the beam and block floor system above

CREATIVE THINKING FROM

SUPREME

Use Stepoc walling and you could have a room below your new property for less than you might think….

WHAT YOU COULD DO WITH YOURS.Hobby Room – Den – Gym – Workshop – Home Cinema or Wine Cellar: why not create extra space and add value to your home too.

When designing suspended ground floors, our design team realised that not many new homes utilise the ground beneath the house by specifying a basement. We understand that it can appear a complicated area of both design and construction, but with Stepoc we aim to simplify the build process so that designers and clients will take advantage of the 'free area' below the Supreme beam and block ground floor in their new house.

Not all basements need to be the complete footprint of the house; indeed often just one room beneath a dining room or kitchen could make a significant difference. With traditional build

STEPOC the real alternative to shuttered concrete.



PAGE 67

A system of concrete shuttering blocks that are highly-engineered and dimensionally co-ordinated. Stepoc is designed to readily accept vertical and horizontal reinforcement for use where structural performance is the prime consideration and offering cost savings on both time and labour.

Manufactured in accordance with EN 15435:2008

Stepoc’s unique design enables reinforcement to be positioned in order to maximise the engineer’s design.

Stepoc is filled with concrete, which is pumped down through the inter-connected cavities in the blocks. The blocks’ unique design creates a cascade or waterfall effect which ensures a smooth filling of the pumped concrete, forcing out air and eliminating segregation, to create walls which have immense compressive and lateral strength. Stepoc walls have achieved the highest rating for a Security Barrier System under the SEAP (Security Equipment Assessment Panel) testing regime.

Stepoc enables the fast construction of single skin retaining walls up to 4.0 metres high, subject to a design carried out by a structural engineer. Stepoc can be filled in a single pour from 1.8 - 2.25m depending on block thickness. Stepoc is available in three widths, 200, 256 & 325mm and at less than 20kg per unit.

Stepoc is proven in use on applications the length and breadth of the UK and has the backing of an experienced team with a wealth of knowledge in the construction industry. Stepoc combines the ease of blockwork construction with the versatility of in-situ concrete, and yet is faster to apply than both, making it an ideal component for:

• Retaining walls

• Basement walls

• Flood Alleviation Schemes

• Swimming pools

• Laterally-loaded panels

• Blast panels

• Lift shafts

• Platform edges

Pour Heights

There is a maximum height for each pour so that stability is not lost in the dry laid blocks as they are filled. Lower heights for each pour can also be used. The maximum heights are:

200 Stepoc - 8 Courses = 1.80m



If multiple concrete pours are required, the concrete of the previous pour should finish 50-75mm from the top of the course of Stepoc, with the vertical bars projecting the equivalent of a splice, length taken from the engineer’s schedule. This is to ensure a proper key between consecutive pours.

Block type Concrete Infill

200mm 0.12m3 per m2

256mm 0.15m3 per m2

The concrete should be designed to be suitable for the specific means of delivery, possessing a slump of no less than 150mm. The maximum aggregate size should not exceed 10mm and the mix should contain no less than 300kg of cement per cubic metre of fresh concrete.

Filling is best accomplished by a concrete pump or skip with a 75mm nozzle, and the design of the concrete should take this into account. Mechanical vibration must not be used. The use of water reducing agents is acceptable to lower cement content in the mix design.

Creating gravity or unreinforced

walls up to 2m high

Keystone can be used to create gravity or unreinforced walls up to 2m in height.

For most applications, no structural foundation is required and a simple levelling pad will suffice. Even in the case of unreinforced soil walls – only the base course of facing units require bedding on mortar.

Creating reinforced soil walls

For taller and more critical walls, Keystone units are combined with soil reinforcement options to create larger composite structures. With this properly designed combination, the reinforced soil mass can support greater earth pressure and surcharge loads; and the pin/comb fixing concept allows geogrid material to be fully incorporated into the structure of the wall providing an exceptionally strong ‘mechanical’ link.
