Types of floor : solid vs Suspended

Concrete and timber are the two material most used for the construction of ground and upper floors

Floors can be constructed in 2 forms:

SOlid floors are formed such that the underside of the floor is in continuous contact with and is supported by the ground

Suspended floors are formed such that the structural elemments of the floor span between supports , not relying on the ground for support of the floor sturcture . THis may result in the creation of a void beneath the floor and the ground .
