Le plancher peut être composé d'une série de solives qui portent sur des poutres reposant elles-mêmes sur des murs. On dit alors que le plancher est à deux systèmes.

CONT

[...] sous un plancher, les poutres soulagent les solives out les poutrelles qu'elles soutiennent. De façon générale, lorsque les portées entre deux murs excèdent 3 à 4 mètres, les solives ou les poutrelles courantes doivent être soulagées par la mise en place d'une poutre intermédiaire.
