Hollow core slabs are precast and pre-stressed concrete elements with continuous voids to reduce weight and cost,
and hence provide an efficient structural system. Slabs are cast with advanced extrusion technique and can be used as
flooring and roofing systems. The primary purpose of cores/voids running through the slab continuously is to decrease
self-weight and material usage, yet maintaining the maximal strength. These voids are also a very good source of heat
and sound insulation and can also be used as ducts for concealed services such as plumbing, electrification and air
conditioning. Hollow core slabs can be used with virtually all types of structural systems including cast in-situ and precast
concrete beams, load bearing walls and steel structures.
A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF "HOLLOW CORE AND STEEL STRUCTURES":
Hollow core slab and steel structure have great
combination for reduction in construction cost and
speed up of construction process due to their wonderful
prefabricated economic characteristics.
FEATURES:
- Provides economical solution as considerable
saving in construction cost is achieved due to
weight reduction of upto 50% as compared to
conventional RCC slab.
- Provides the efficiency of pre-stressed member for
load capacity, span range and deflection control.
- Smooth underside surface can be used as the
finished ceiling.
- Compatible with all types of structural systems
including pre-cast & cast in-situ beams, load
bearing walls and steel structures.
- Hollow core slabs possess low heat and sound
transmission properties and hence saves extra
insulation effort and cost.
- Hollow core slabs are fire resistant structural
elements. Fire tests and studies demonstrate
the high-performance characteristics of Hollow
Core Slabs.
- Hollow core slabs are pre-fabricated elements and
thus save a lot of construction time in a project.
- Provide design flexibility to engineers and
architects because of very prolific span/depth
ratio, high strength and quick construction speed.
