Födémszerkezet

Födémszerkezet refers to the structural system that separates floors in a building, commonly known as a floor structure or floor slab. In Hungarian architectural and construction terminology, "födémszerkezet" encompasses the entire system responsible for supporting loads from occupancy, furniture, and its own weight, and transferring these loads to the vertical supporting elements of the building, such as walls and columns.

These structures can be constructed from various materials and employ different designs depending on the span, load requirements, and economic considerations. Common types include cast-in-place concrete slabs, precast concrete elements, steel beams with concrete infill, and timber joist systems. The choice of födémszerkezet significantly influences the building's overall structural integrity, acoustics, thermal performance, and fire resistance.

The design of a födémszerkezet involves calculations to ensure it can withstand anticipated bending moments, shear forces, and deflection limits. It also plays a crucial role in resisting lateral loads and vibrations. Understanding the properties and behavior of different födémszerkezet types is essential for architects, engineers, and builders to ensure the safety, functionality, and longevity of a building.
