Major Assignment - Hollow Core Research Update 2

Ok, well here is where I am with the hollow core research so far:

The ground floor will have a poured slab and strip footing system so the research into hollow core planks will only apply to the first floor and roof, columns and bearers. The planks which I want to span the first floor for about 8m (not 15m), according to the span chart provided by www.hollowcore.com.au will need to use 205mm thick hollow core.
