Zusammenfassung:A prestressed form of lightweight metal construction which is adapted to be supported between beams and which is adapted to support a poured concrete floor or the like. The form is prestressed by means of tendons attached at the ends thereof and at various points along the length of the form. The prestressing of the forms provides a means of cambering the forms which offset the deflection due to the dead load imposed thereon. The prestressed form and the concrete supported thereby cooperate compositely to resist live loading.
