BH.oM.Structure.FloorSystem.Drophead

Drophead on a flat slab, i.e. a local thickening of the slab over a column. Thickness is additional to the thickness of the main slab. The material of the drophead is taken from the main slab property. Also applicable to be used with waffle slabs for a solid zone over dropheads.
