Sub-Zero Air Conditioning & Refrigeration possess vast knowledge and experience in the installation of cold rooms. In the long run, cold rooms are predicted to save you money, as perishable items of food are stored at the correct temperature and are less prone to spoiling. A cold room that has been specifically designed to your requirements can also lead to space-saving as they offer a more effective storage solution than that of multiple refrigerators and freezers. Additionally, cold rooms are airtight, this means they are protected against any extreme weather conditions that could cause unusual climates.Ĭold rooms are available in a variety of sizes, we can help find the most suitable size and shape for your property and requirements. What are the benefits of a cold room?Ĭold rooms offer users a range of benefits, they provide an adjustable temperature gage, allowing you to modify the temperature from chilled to freezing, depending on your requirements.
A cold room is usually used for the storage of perishable items so as to prolong their shelf life and prevent spoiling. It is shown that the values of β are in the range of 0.55 to 1.0, which are significantly smaller than those commonly allowed for in the design of stud shear connections in composite floors.A cold room is typically a man-made room that has a lower than average temperature, also referred to as a walk-in fridge or freezer. A configuration parameter β is proposed for use in conjunction with the reduction factor k t given in EN to incorporate the effects of installation positions of headed shear studs and trough widths of profiled decks as well as the presence of longitudinal stiffeners if any. Detailed parametric studies are then undertaken using the calibrated models for the purpose of quantifying the shear resistance and deformation characteristics for connections with various stud and deck arrangements. In order to capture the complex interactions that take place between the concrete and the headed shear studs, a number of distinctive load transfer mechanisms within the solid concrete and the profiled composite slabs are identified and discussed. The numerical investigation adopts a number of advanced finite element models which have been carefully calibrated against standard push-out tests conducted by the authors. This paper investigates the structural behaviour of stud shear connections in composite floors with various connector arrangements and profiled deck configurations.
