Les termes «dalle flottante» et «chape flottante» sont plus restrictifs que «plancher flottant» et «sol flottant», en ce sens qu'ils ne peuvent être qu'en béton. D'autre part, la distinction essentielle entre une «dalle» et une «chape» repose sur leur épaisseur relative : la chape est plus mince que la dalle (cf. INBAT, 1979, page 91). 8, record 1, French, - plancher%20flottant
