ECChestnut intermediate floors

A manual limited to the recurring user-declared configuration of chestnut primary members, a small highly friable cementitious topping, and tiles, leading from bay-by-bay evidence to diagnosis, relevant alternatives, temporary works, and signed hold points.

Public research edition

Method and status are public; the technical file remains controlled.

These pages do not authorise work and do not replace surveys, calculations, filings, works direction, safety coordination, or professional signatures. Internal PDFs become downloadable only after publication review, restricted-data removal, and entry in the controlled manifest.

Report architecture

Four verifiable main sections.

This public record summarises the structure. The formal bilingual issue contains detailed sources, tables, registers, signatures, and controls.

01

Declared condition, purpose, chestnut and bearing diagnosis, and boundaries

02

Regulations, permissions, responsibilities, temporary works, and safety gates

03

Chestnut-system options, interfaces, materials, procurement, and cost control

04

Controlled sequence, hold points, inspections, as-built record, and signatures

Non-negotiable controls

The procedure stops when evidence is insufficient.

  • Chestnut identity and topping friability are user descriptions, not timber grading, a verified build-up, or proof that the topping has no structural or phase function.
  • Each bay, both member ends, bearings, moisture, decay, effective section, use, and loads are measured or professionally assessed before an option is released.
  • The comparison is limited to retention and local repair, selective replacement or sistering, conditional timber-concrete action, and a justified red route for complete replacement.

Public control sources

Primary sources, with applicability to be checked.

The links support the research framework and must be rechecked at project date. They do not replace the appointed professional's regulatory selection.

The LaTeX source and bilingual PDFs remain in the controlled archive. Public download requires editorial approval, privacy review, link verification, and a hash-based manifest.
