The granted patent US12031315B2 describes a novel concrete ceiling element that integrates a flat basic structure made of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) and a connected FRC ridge. The design features at least two supports on the ridge that connect to the basic structure, with specific configurations allowing for extensions that fit into recesses in the FRC-plate. These connections are designed to be non-positive, relying on filling materials for stability. The claims also detail various arrangements of multiple FRC ridges, including parallel and intersecting configurations, which can enclose spaces filled with concrete. The patent outlines the structural integrity provided by these designs, including the potential for cavities within the FRC ridges that can accommodate tension elements.

Additionally, the patent includes methods for producing the concrete ceiling elements, emphasizing the arrangement of FRC-plates and ridges, and the use of filling materials to secure connections. The methods also allow for the integration of cover layers made from various materials, enhancing the aesthetic and functional aspects of the ceiling. The claims further explore the possibility of using multiple FRC-plates and ridges in conjunction, providing flexibility in design and application. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to constructing concrete ceilings that prioritize both structural performance and ease of assembly.
