Precast/Prestressed Concrete Hollowcore Plank
INTRODUCTION TO STRESCORE PLANK
For the architect or consulting engineer, this manual is intended as a
guide for working with Strescore plank using various construction
methods.
Strescore plank is a precast, prestressed concrete member with
continuous voids provided to reduce weight. It is commonly used
as a floor or roof deck.
Used as floor and ceiling assemblies, Strescore plank has an
excellent sound transmission class rating, ranging from about 50
to 53 without topping. The impact insulation class rating starts at
about 26 for a plain plank, and may be increased to over 78 with
the addition of carpeting and underlay. Various fire ratings can
also be achieved depending on floor or ceiling finish.
Precast prestressed Strescore plank is extruded on long line casting
beds using zero slump concrete. The concrete is fed into the
extruder and then forced into the compaction space using feeding
screws, which also push the extruder along the casting bed. Forming
dies follow the feeding screws to give the required shape to the
voids. Once cured, the Strescore plank is then cut to length.

ADVANTAGES OF STRESCORE PLANK
STRESCORE
PLANK
Strescore plank is widely known for providing economical and
efficient floor and roof systems. The top surface can be prepared for
installation of a floor covering by feathering the joints with a latex
cement mix, installing non-structural fill concrete ranging from 1/2
inch to 2 inches thick, or by pouring a composite structural concrete
topping. The underside can be used as a finished ceiling either by
painting or by applying an acoustical spray.
Strescore plank is cambered as with most prestressed structural
members. Areas with differential cambers may cause a problem and
should be recognized and dealt with in the design layout. Wall
locations may hide such a joint, but the door swing should be
directed to the least variable side.
Camber can also be accommodated by providing a topping. The
quantity of topping required must consider the amount of camber
and the function of the floor.
Camber, camber growth, and deflections must be taken into account
in roofing details. Where changes in relative slab position occur,
counterflashings are suggested to accommodate such changes.

DESIGN RESPONSIBILITIES
Final design of the individual
plank is usually the
responsibility of Strescon
Limited. The planks are
designed according to the
latest requirements of ACI
standard 318 or CSA
standard A23.3, to carry the
loads specified in the contract
documents. The design of the
supporting structure, diaphram
action, lateral loads, bracing
anchorage, and stability of
the various components is the
responsibility of the project
engineer.
which occur in the plank.
All openings larger than 12”
in size should be accurately
located on the drawings so
the effect on the Strescore
plank can be considered
during the design.
Lateral load transfer can be
accomplished by weld plates
or grouted connections. It
should be noted that PCI
recommends that prestressed
concrete components such as
Strescore plank should not be
rigidly connected at both ends. This is to prevent
damage to the plank or supporting structure due to
creep, shrinkage and temperature change movements
Strescon Limited will
generally produce a set of
erection drawings consisting
of layout, section, and
detailed drawings. The
layout drawings will show the
location of each plank as
well the location of openings
and any details which affect
the planks.
The architect or project
engineer should carefully
review the erection drawings
during the approval process
to ensure that openings are properly sized, located,
and all details have been properly incorporated.

FRAMING CONCEPT
The primary consideration in developing a framing
scheme using Strescore plank is the span length.
Please refer to the load tables section for
recommended limits on Strescore plank.
Consideration must be given to factors such as
superimposed loads, partitions, or a large number
of openings. Each of these factors will result in
higher load capacity requirements. The fire
resistance rating required for the application will
also affect the load capacity of a plank.
It is more economical to have the plan dimensions
fit the plank module. Non-module plan dimensions
will be accommodated using partial width planks,
therefore, joint locations and overall detailing
should be discussed with Strescon Limited.
Construction tolerances must be accounted for in
developing a plan layout. Tolerance on plank
length should be accomodated by allowing a gap
at the plank ends in the bearing detail.
Except for special situations, keyway grout is
normally a sand and Portland cement mixture in
proportions of about 3:1. The amount of water
used will be determined by the method used to place the grout in the keyway. It will generally result in a wet
mix. The configuration of the key is such that vertical load transfer can still occur with the presence of a
shrinkage crack. Rarely is grout strength required in excess of 3000 psi.

DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES
The Prestressed Concrete Institute’s recommended dimensional tolerances for Strescore plank are:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
G.
H.
Length: + 1/2 inch
Width: + 1/4 inch
Depth: + 1/4 inch
Position of individual strands: + 1/2 inch
Position of strand group: + 1/4 inch
Squareness of ends: + 1/2 inch
Position of openings: + 2 inches
Positions of plates: + 2 Inches
CAMBER
Camber is the upward deflection of a prestressed member and resulting from the eccentricity between the
prestressing force and the center of gravity of the cross section. Since both prestressing area and eccentricity
are established by the required design load and span length, camber is a result of the design rather than a
design parameter.
Camber and deflection will change with time due to concrete creep, prestress loss, and the amount of
prestressing. The time dependant cambers and deflections are not predictable with any degree of accuracy,
and any calculation of long term movement must be considered to be only an estimate.
Also, adjacent plank having different lengths, strand patterns or openings will have differential camber. This may
be minimized by leveling during erection.

STRESCORE PLANK DESIGN CHECKLIST
This Strescore checklist has been developed to assist the Architect and/or Engineer in
developing plans and specifications. Please contact Strescon Limited regarding your requirements.
1. FIRE RATINGS:
A. What is the fire rating? If more than 2 hours is required, contact Strescon Limited.
2. LOADING CONDITIONS
A. Are loads specified on the drawing?
B. Are there line loads (such as masonry walls or face brick) supported on plank, in addition to
specified uniform loads? If yes, capacity of plank should be checked.
C. Are there concentrated loads (such as columns or mechanical equipment) supported on plank, in
addition to specified uniform loads?
D. Roof loads
1. Are there vertical protrusions such as parapets, penthouses, stair wells, elevator shafts, adjacent
buildings, etc.? If so, snow drift load must be factored into the design.
2. Do higher roofs from this building or adjacent buildings deposit snow on this building? If so,
special design is required for sliding snow.
3. Will plank yield positive camber for adequate drainage? Is roof drainage system shown?
4. Is there roof fill? Additional loads will result.
E. Does plank support stairs?
3. TOPPINGS
A. Is topping truly composite? Topping separated by a vapor barrier or insulation is not composite.
B. If a level floor is required, 1” to 2” additional topping may be required at ends to compensate for
camber.
4. EXPANSION JOINTS
A. Do contract drawings show expansion joints? If building is greater than 200’ long or has a floor
plan shape such as L, Y, or H, expansion joints should be provided.
5. CAMBERS OR DEFLECTIONS
A. Camber is inherent in most prestressed products. It is the result of the eccentric prestress force
required to carry loads and the span over which the loads must be carried. Camber cannot be
designed to an exact number.
B. Plank of different spans and loadings will have different camber. Flash patching by others, to level
floors will be required.

Strescore
Precast/Prestressed Concrete Hollowcore Plank
C. Conditions requiring review of camber
1. Avoid heavy masonry wall loads parallel to span.
2. Consult Strescon Limited for all non-uniform loading cases to ensure ultimate strength and
deflection criteria can be met.
LEVELING OF PLANKS
Wood Block.
Jack.
Floor bellow.
•
When Strescore planks are uneven, they can be leveled from the
underside using jacks.
• Place the jacks near the center of the plank span.
Gently lift until the bottom of the planks are even.
• Grout the joint and leave support under plank until grout is cured.
• If top joints are uneven, use Gyp-Crete or equivalent material for
feathering and leveling.
