Abstract: Introduction. The frame structural system occupies a leading position in modern construction and is widely used in the design of large-scale public buildings for various purposes, as it provides flexibility and adaptability of layout solutions. This allows for open floor plans, easily reconfigurable interior spaces, and adapting the building to new operational requirements without significant modifications to the load-bearing elements. This is especially important in modern construction, where the versatility of buildings and the possibility of subsequent renovation are crucial. Due to the standardization of elements and the modular design principle, frame buildings are distinguished by their high technological efficiency and rational design solutions. The widespread adoption of prefabricated structures in construction is determined by their lower material consumption, significant reduction in labor costs, and construction time compared to traditional construction methods, such as monolithic construction and the construction of buildings using small individual elements such as brick [1–3]. Another advantage of prefabricated frame systems is their ability to withstand climatic factors, such as temperature, as there are virtually no wet processes associated with pouring concrete. The high degree of prefabrication of reinforced concrete structures helps reduce construction waste during frame assembly. One of the stages of frame house construction is the installation of interfloor floors, which not only separate the spaces but also provide strength, sound, and thermal insulation [4–5]. These floors can be constructed from precast or precast-monolithic reinforced concrete slabs, as well as combined systems. Rational floor design not only enhances the building's reliability and durability but also improves its energy efficiency, an important requirement in modern construction. Thus, a frame structural system, combined with the use of precast elements and efficiently designed interfloor floors, represents a technologically and economically feasible solution for the mass construction of public buildings [7]. The purpose of the work is to expand the application options for precast-monolithic floors and minimize the use of monolithic reinforced concrete.
