Description
When Orlando International’s new $2 billion-plus South Terminal Expansion is complete, it will include a 5-level, 816,000 sq ft land-side passenger processing structure, an 822,000 sq ft air-side concourse, which consists of 19 gates, and an Automated People Mover (APM) Inter-model Terminal facility. Due to its proven performance and superior finishing characteristics, FORTA-FERRO was used in all elevated slabs, the automated baggage basement floor, APM platforms, and roof decks. To stiffen the 5-¼ in composite metal decks, designers incorporated 5.0 lb/cu yd of FORTA-FERRO macro-synthetic fibers in 4,000 psi, lightweight concrete to supplement 4×4-W4.0xW4.0 WWF. The use of reinforcement fibers will reduce cracking while enhancing the mix design.
