A Modular Floor System for Use with Relocatable Buildings

Abstract

The Navy Advanced Base Functional Component Program utilizes many prefabricated buildings intended to be quickly emplaced and relocated. These buildings have usually had concrete slabs for floors; however, this requires skilled craftsmen and concrete batching facilities and results in floors which are not relocatable. This report describes the development of two modular relocatable floor systems -- a system on-grade for heavy warehouse loads and a raised floor system for administrative buildings. The relocatable floor systems are generally less expensive per application, do not require highly skilled craftsmen, and are erected in less time than conventional concrete slabs.
