Hello everyone,
I have now started my last project and rebuilt my entrance.
The entrance is 4.50 x 2.60 meters and I have set 24 stones with a ring beam. The ceiling is later intended to serve as a balcony and I might want to put a partition wall on it. Now to my concerns.
I want to insert 4x 160 steel beams (approx. 4.40 meters) and lay hollow floor slabs in between. Then fill with concrete and some iron. An IDP beam is cheaper and lighter but only withstands half the load. Does such a concrete ceiling hold together or can it bend under its own weight? Has anyone built something like this? When I look at an old GDR garage, the ceiling is even thinner and still holds together.
Thanks for the info!
