DISCLAIMER

Hollow core planks are cambered. Camber is a function of span lengths and the number of strands required to achieve the design loads. General estimated camber can be found in PCI Design Handbook, Sixth Edition, Chapter 2. CDS can also provide estimated camber values upon request after final design has been completed. Differential camber should be anticipated by the contractor and accounted for in the building design and topping slab thickness.
