Els Spin Mar 4, 2007:
Zo te zien op Google bestaan welsels wel in België. Maar wat het zijn, weet ik niet.
vic voskuil Mar 3, 2007:
at least welfsels are guaranteed to exist, whereas I'd never heard of a welsel before you posted it. I suppose using that number of welfsels and cover 60% of it with office space is feasible...
Johan Venter (asker) Mar 3, 2007:
I considered that it could be a typo for "welfsels" (vaulting) , but thought I'd rather check here to make sure
vic voskuil Mar 3, 2007:
...any chance sloppy handwriting is involved...?

Dutch term (edited): welfsel

concrete hollow-core slab

Lijkt me inderdaad een typo voor welfsels, maar volgens mij is dat geen vaulting.

Welfsels (kanaalplaten), predallen ( breedvloerplaten),... - Paalfunderingen (Heimeester in NL). - Eurocode. - Verschil in betonsoorten ...

Je kunt gelijk hebben, maar ik weet uit eigen observatie bij fabrikant Dycore dat kanaalplaten ook (altijd) worden voorgespannen.
Note from asker:
"Voorgespannen welfsels" also come up in the text every once in a while and this is possible with a vaulting, but not with a hollow-core slab. This context was not given, so there is no way you could have known, but it was not relevant to the question asked. Kluwer also confirms that welsel is a vaulting. Thank you for your help Harry :)
Erratum - Welfsel is given as vaulting, not welsel.
Peer comment(s):
agree Michael Beijer : ‘hollow-core concrete slab’ (as per: https://www.translatorscafe.com/tcterms/NL/question.aspx?id=... )

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanaalplaatvloer

"Een kanaalplaatvloer bestaat uit vlakke rechthoekige elementen, kanaalplaten of (in Zuids-Nederlands) welfsels genoemd, die gemaakt zijn van prefab voorgespannen beton. In deze platen zijn holle kanalen aangebracht. Deze kanalen maken de platen lichter zonder dat ze veel van hun sterkte verliezen.

De vloeren zijn vrijdragend en direct na plaatsing volledig belastbaar."
