Hi
We want to make a floor on top of some RSJ, the span of each RSJ is about 1.200mm, I want to concrete over the beams to make a floor, with mesh in of course.
Do I need to treat the steel with anything?
Can I simply make a wooden shutter to flush fit with the top of the RSJ lay my re-bar and concrete a 6" slab on top.
or
should I or could I make a shutter around my RSJs and concrete the lot.
The RSJ's are 6"x4" there'll be a small wall on the outer beam we'll use hollow blocks there, apart from that people will only walk on the floor.
Regards
SM
