New evolution of the Kalcul KP1 software suite: joist/joist floors integrated into the Kalcul Structure pre-sizing module

Kalcul Structure Joist/joist floors was developed to democratize the solution and support the market changes favored by RE2020 and its carbon footprint component. Historically known for the construction of individual houses, the KP1 joist/joist floor systems have continually evolved. With for example their record spans without props which can today reach 7,50 m, they are all the more relevant in the structure of collective housing and non-residential buildings (1st and 2nd families such as shops, offices, buildings of health, education, sports equipment, etc.), whatever the type of terrain.

By offering this intuitive tool and guarantee of autonomy, KP1 wishes to support, from the study and design phases, project management teams and structural work companies in recommending the Joist/joist floor solutions most suited to their site. . Beyond specifiers, KALCUL Structure Joist/joist floors can also be used by players in the individual housing market (house builders and businesses resellers of KP1 products).

The solution adapted to your site in just a few clicks

Accessible by identification from the site www.kp1.fr, KALCUL Structure Beam/joist floors allows the user to define their project by providing different criteria: maximum void span, thickness, type of building (individual houses, collective housing, tertiary buildings), type of floor (crawl space, height basement, floor, roof terrace), integration of networks in the compression slab, firebreak, floor insulation, loads and types of supports.

Once this data is completed, he obtains the suitable joist/joist solution, the downloadable product sheet in PDF and the CCTP description to be integrated into the DPGF for calls for tenders. Practical, he can click on the other modules (Economist, Environment, etc.) to directly access additional information. The professional can also save his projects to find them later on his interface.

Joist/joist floors: An economical and immediately accessible low-carbon response

The joist/joist floors construction method makes it possible to significantly reduce the carbon weight of the building thanks to the reduction in the quantity of material and materials generated by prefabrication. Examples: up to -50% carbon weight in crawl space floor compared to a supported slab, and up to -30% in upper floor compared to a solid slab.

Beyond the reduced carbon weight, the beam/joist floor systems have, over time, integrated more and more performances and functionalities allowing them to meet the constraints of different markets: quality of soils, particularly clayey, thermal , acoustics, fire protection, spans without props up to 7,50 m...

* In addition to the KALCUL Structure module, the KALCUL software suite offers the KALCUL Economist module to find, optimize, quantify and prescribe KP1 systems; the KALCUL Environment module which allows the environmental performance of KP1 construction systems to be calculated; the KALCUL Thermal module to access the thermal performance library of KP1 construction systems; Technical Documents.
