FastFloor Commercial Archetype Design 4-Story
The FastFloor system is a modular steel floor system that allows offsite fabrication and does not require concrete fill, which is expected to result in substantially faster erection time compared to conventional systems. The FastFloor module consists of a flat steel plate welded to the top of two steel beams. This report describes the calculations and details for a four-story archetype building designed using the FastFloor system. Archetype buildings are useful in the development of a new system as they help define realistic conditions and demands.
