The recommendations for bearings of precast units are set out in Clause 5.2.3 of B.S. 8110:1997. These vary according to the type of floor
construction and the type of support material and building tolerances. In general nominal bearings of 100 mm on masonry or 75 mm on
steelwork are recommended but may be reduced dependent upon circumstances and subject to the above clause.

The above data is based upon 50 or 75mm structural topping of C30 concrete which should be regarded as a minimum.
Other topping depths may be recommended in some circumstances. Design data for alternative combinations are available
from Bison design offices. In relation to the overall structural concept of the building it is also important also to consider
topping reinforcement, daywork and movement joints.

Composite steel beam design incorporating Hollow Core or solid slabs provides a structural and cost efficient solution for steel
frames. It reduces total tonnage of steel beams by up to 40% and also reduces the number of components to be erected.
Definition
Composite steel beam design is the use of Hollow Core or solid slabs together with in-situ infill in conjunction with welded studs
onto steel beams. This enables the slabs and beams to act compositely together, enhancing the load capacity of the steel beams.

Bison floors are manufactured by the long line prestressed method using slip form or extrusion techniques.
The units are cast on heated steel beds within an enclosed factory environment.
1.2
The materials used in the manufacture of Bison floors comply with the relevant British Standard for that material.
1.3
An air entraining agent complying with BS EN 934-2-2001 is included in the concrete mix to improve workability.
1.4
Reinforcement is generally 5mm diameter high tensile wire or 12.5mm diameter strand complying with the
requirements of B.S.5896:1980.
1.5
Bison units are sawn to length on the manufacturing bed and are supplied as standard with plain sawn ends
with open cores.
DIMENSIONS
2.1

2.4
FINISHES
3.1
Concrete surface finish to soffit is Type A finish as described in clause 6.2.7.3. of B.S.8110:1997.
The soffit is suitable for the direct application of a textured paint finish where this is applied in accordance with
the manufacturers instructions.
Where a plaster finish is intended it may be necessary to use a bonding agent in accordance with the instructions
of the plaster manufacturer. Plaster finishes are not recommended on longer spans.
3.2
Sides and top surfaces are as extruded as described in Table 5.5 of B.S.8110:1997.
3.3
Units may accumulate water within the cores due to exposure during the construction programme. The General
Contractor should drill weep holes as necessary, or keep them clear where they are provided during manufacture.
58
For EXTENSIVE TECHNICAL DETAILS PLEASE VISIT our website: www.bison.co.uk
SECTION
06
The design of Bison units is in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of B.S.8110:1997
The Structural Use of Concrete.
4.2
4.3
Load/Span capacity : The reinforcement pattern within a Bison section will vary according to the design
loading specified.
4.4
Exposure Condition : The standard Bison section is suitable for a XCI exposure classification as defined
in Table 3.2 of BS 8500:2002. Other exposure classes can be adopted subject to design approval from Bison
Technical Department.
Fire Resistance : Fire resistance is based upon the tabulated data contained within B.S. 8110 Part 2 Section 4.
Sections are available for fire periods of 1 hour or 2 hours, without the addition of further finishes.These periods of
fire resistance may be further enhanced by the application of appropriate finishes.
4.5
4.6
Serviceability : The standard Bison section is designed to meet the criteria of Class 3 as set out in clause 4.1.3
of B.S.8110.1997 Designs to Class 1 and Class 2 are available if required.
4.7
Horizontal & Vertical Ties : Ties necessary to satisfy the requirements for accidental damage should be
specified by the Engineer with responsibility for the design of the overall structure in accordance with the
Code of Practice.
Sound Insulation : The requirements of The Building Regulations are that a floor construction incorporating
the use of precast concrete units should have a minimum mass which is dependent upon whether the finishes to
the top surface are directly applied or are on a separating layer. The mass of Bison unit sections are given in the
technical data and are net weights of standard hollow sections.
4.8 Bearings : Level and structurally adequate bearings for Bison precast units should be provided by other
contractors. These should generally be 100 mm for masonry or 75 mm for concrete or steelwork, but may be
reduced in accordance with clause 5.2.3 of B.S.8110:1997.
4.9 Holes : Small holes up to 60 mm diameter may be drilled on site through the Hollow Cores, care being taken
to avoid damage to the reinforced ribs. Larger holes may be cut subject to the design capacity of the slab.
4.10 Grouting : Joints between units should be grouted with a 30 N/mm2 concrete using a 6 mm nominal
aggregate size.
4.11
Propping : Where the slab design requires site propping, this should be carried out in strict accordance with the
Bison drawings.

Do not alter the product without written permission from Bison Design Office, altering the product may compromise
its structural integrity and lead to failure. This includes notching, hole forming, shortening, narrowing the unit etc.
Do not alter the product in-situ, any permissible alterations must be completed on a flat stable platform. i.e. on the
ground or floor area.
Do not allow anyone to walk or work beneath the product whilst it is being hoisted or suspended.
Do not work in areas without the appropriate perimeter edge protection, handrails, guardrails, platforms or stages.
Do not access working areas without properly constructed, maintained, secured and illuminated, stairways, ramps,
ladders or the like.
Where lifting hooks are specified within a contract, do hoist the units by crane using ALL the lifting points in the top
surface provided for that purpose. Prior to lifting safety chains must be loosely slung around the underside of the
unit. The safety chains may only be released immediately before the slab is placed in its final position.
For insurance purposes, Bison do not supply or hire lifters or chain sets. Please refer to our information sheets for
details of supplier hire or purchase.
Do not run plant or store equipment on the precast floor before it is grouted and cured. Once cured do not exceed
the loads specified by the engineer.
Do use a passive fall protection system wherever reasonably practicable considering all heights where the potential
fall distance could result in an injury.
Do ensure that perimeter edge scaffolding is positioned no more than 900mm below the bearing level particularly on
masonry construction.
Do ensure all voids created whilst placing units are adequately protected during and after erection.
Do ensure all brickwork, blockwork or concrete is adequately cured, stable and fit to receive precast concrete units,
and that steelwork is stable.
Do ensure the stability of support beams, lintels etc. is considered, particularly the rotation of support member due
to unequal loading.
Do ensure you include allowance for site handling by referring to the unit weight table.
Do ensure that all lifting equipment is supplied, used and inspected in accordance with current legislation.
Do ensure all lifting operations are completed and in accordance with current legislation.
Do wear adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) whilst handling or cutting concrete.
NOTE; Due to the principle constituents of cement, the liquid released whilst drilling drainage points etc is likely to
have a caustic effect on the eyes and skin. For further information or to obtain the latest issue COSHH data sheet for
cement call our Health & Safety Department at our Burton office Tel 01283 495000.

Trailasafe
Trailasafe is designed to prevent or mitigate injuries
resulting from falls from trailer decks. Comprising
synthetic mesh suspended from a series of brackets
housing support arms, the system arrests the fall of
personnel, absorbing the energy of their descent and
ensuring their safety. Fully demountable, the system can
be stored within the vehicle or at the unloading point.
Hole Covers
Voids such as service holes, formed in precast floor units
are trip hazards and have the potential to cause serious
injuries. Bisons solution is the Hole Filler: a strong yet
slimlined product which is suitable for most holes.
The yellow, anti-slip cover is fully reusable and comes in
two sizes, 250mm or 350mm square. Each may be either
screwed down or fitted without the need for power tools,
by spreading the unit legs, locking it into position.
