Description
Updated from the original R51 product in 2018, this profile is available in S350 and S450 grades to provide the designer greater flexibility. R51+ is a traditional re-entrant profile commonly used on inner city multi-storey projects, where the structural zone and storey height is reduced, due to the relatively thin slab depth required to achieve a typical one hour fire rating.

The image and table above details the minimum insulation thickness required to suit fire design criteria in accordance with SCI PN005c-GB or BS5950 Part 8.
Concrete Volume and Weight
| Slab Depth mm | Volume of Concrete m³/m² | Weight of Concrete (Normal Weight) Wet (kN/m²) | Weight of Concrete (Normal Weight) Dry (kN/m²) | Weight of Concrete (Lightweight) Wet (kN/m²) | Weight of Concrete (Lightweight) Dry (kN/m²) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 130 | 0.121 | 3.03 | 2.91 | 2.43 | 2.31 |
| 150 | 0.141 | 3.53 | 3.39 | 2.83 | 2.70 |
| 200 | 0.191 | 4.78 | 4.59 | 3.84 | 3.65 |
Deflection – This table is based on concrete poured to a constant thickness and does not take account for deflection of the decking or supporting beams (as a guide, to account for the deflection of the decking, a concrete volume of span/250 should be added to the figures indicated). Concrete Weight – These tables indicate concrete weight only and do not include the weight of decking or reinforcement. Concrete weights are based on the concrete densities specified in BS EN 1991-1-1 as follows: Normal Weight Concrete – 2550kg/m. (wet) and 2450 kg/m. (dry). Lightweight Concrete – 2050kg/m. (wet) and 1950 kg/m. (dry).
