Early 1900 building: Concrete Segmental Arch Floor Systems

[preynolds]

We are renovating an old building and came across of a concrete arch floor system, which was typical of the construction at the time. We are trying to locate any design information that may be available on the system to make sure the structure will be fit for the new occupancy.

Thanks.

You may have to do a load test to verify new floor loading.

I've come across these as well, don't know of documentation for them. I am currently dealing with a tied "flat arch" clay tile floor. You might find info in an older Handbook of Building Construction. See my thread " speed tile floor". The one I found sounds like it has load tables for what I'm looking for and it may have info on that system too.
