This guide presents BICP's integrated floor solutions for industrial facilities, focusing on the Taiping and Taiku product lines. The content emphasizes reducing floor joints, improving flatness and durability, and includes three technical routes: post-tensioned integrated floor, UHPC integrated floor, and UHPC long-lasting repair. Additionally, it introduces the Taiku prestressed wide-beam solution for covered underground garage roofs.

Large warehouse floors crack mainly because drying shrinkage and temperature movement are restrained by the subgrade, by reinforcement, or by the slab's own geometry. Crack control comes from managing that restraint through panel size, reinforcement or post-tensioning, and curing, not from the concrete mix alone.

A jointless industrial floor is built as large reinforced or post-tensioned panels with construction joints only, instead of the tight grid of saw-cut joints used in conventional slabs. It suits large, heavily trafficked floors where joint maintenance, not the concrete itself, is the main source of downtime.

Industrial floors are typically cut with joints every few meters as an industry practice. However, joints are not irreplaceable—they are a compromise solution to concrete shrinkage, leaving long-term issues such as spalling, hygiene contamination, and AGV interference. This article explains the origin and limitations of joints from the mechanism of concrete shrinkage, and then illustrates how post-tensioned integrated floor systems actively suppress cracking by applying pre-compression, extending joint spacing from ≤6 m to the order of 150 m.

The traditional floor evaluation system centered on flatness can no longer cover all critical requirements in the AGV era. Joint impact, edge spalling, local settlement, and fatigue durability are key indicators for stable AGV operation but are not adequately reflected in conventional flatness standards. This article proposes four dimensions for AGV-friendly floor evaluation and explains how post-tensioned integrated floor systems, UHPC wear-resistant floors, and Tairen armored joints address each dimension. It is suitable for factory managers planning to introduce AGV systems.
