15 TYPES OF CONCRETE SLAB

Concrete Slab Slab are constructed to provide flat surfaces, usually horizontal in building floors, roof, bridges and other types of structures.Basically a slab is a structural element, usually made up of reinforced concrete.The slab are usually constructed monolithically with the beams. Concrete slab is a very common and important structural element are constructed to provide

CONVENTIONAL SLAB

Conventional Slab The slab which is supported on beams and columns is called conventional slab.In conventional slab the thickness of the slab is small whereas the depth of the beam is large and load is transferred to beams and then to columns.It required more formwork when compared with flat slab.The thickness of conventional slab is

FLAT SLAB

Flat Slab Flat slab is a reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete columns or caps.Flat slab doesn’t have beam so it is also called a beam-less slab.Flat slab is defined as one sided or two-sided support system with sheer load of the slab being concentrated on the supporting columns and square slab called drop

HOLLOW CORE SLAB

Hollow Core Slab Hollow core slab is also know as a voided slab, hollow core plank or simply a concrete plank is a precast slab of prestressed concrete concrete typically used in the construction of floor in multi-story apartment buildings.In hollow core slab the main function of core is to maximizing structural efficiency, reduce the

HARDY SLAB – TYPES & ADVANTAGES

Hardy Slab Hardy slab is a type of concrete slab constructed by hardy bricks.Hardy bricks are hollow bricks and it is made up of concrete hollow blocks.These blocks are used to fill portions of the slab.Hardy slabs reduce the amount of concrete in the slab and also its own weight of the slab is also
