This document provides an overview of bubble deck slabs. It begins by defining a bubble deck slab as a method of reducing the weight of floor slabs by replacing concrete in the middle with hollow plastic spheres. This reduces the slab's weight by 30-50%. Bubble deck slabs have three main benefits - reduced material costs, faster construction times, and lower environmental impact from reduced concrete usage. The document then discusses the different types of bubble deck slabs, examples of projects using them, and their structural properties like strength, deflection, vibration resistance and fire resistance. It concludes that bubble deck slabs provide weight reduction and environmental benefits compared to conventional slabs.

This document presents information on bubble deck slabs. It discusses the materials used, construction process, effects, advantages, experimental studies that have been done, the scope of future uses, and concludes that bubble deck slabs may become the future of slab construction as they contribute significantly to sustainable development. The key advantages are that bubble deck slabs are lighter in weight, stronger, allow for longer spans with fewer columns or beams needed, use less material and energy in construction, and can be prefabricated or cast on site.
This is a presentation on the future technology called bubble deck technology. The weight of slab is reduced by large amount albeit it serves nearly same purpose for load and deflection.
Bubble deck Technology is the innovative system that eliminates Concrete in the mid section, secondary supporting structure such as beams reinforced concrete columns or structural walls.
A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings. Horizontal slabs of steel reinforced concrete, typically between 4 and 20 inches (100 and 500 millimeters) thick, are most often used to construct floors and ceilings, while thinner slabs are also used for exterior paving. Sometimes these thinner slabs, ranging from 2 inches (51 mm) to 6 inches (150 mm) thick, are called mud slabs, particularly when used under the main floor slabs[1] or in crawl spaces.[2]
In many domestic and industrial buildings a thick concrete slab, supported on foundations or directly on the subsoil, is used to construct the ground floor of a building. These can either be "ground-bearing" or "suspended" slabs. The slab is "ground-bearing" if it rests directly on the foundation, otherwise the slab is "suspended".[3] For double-storey or multi-storey buildings, the use of a few common types of concrete suspended slabs are used (for more types refer to the Concrete Slab#Design section below):
Beam and block also referred to as Rib and Block, are mostly used in residential and industrial applications. This slab type is made up of pre-stressed beams and hollow blocks and are temporarily propped until set, typically after 21 days.
A Hollow core slab which are precast and installed on site with a crane.
In high rise buildings and skyscrapers, thinner, pre-cast concrete slabs are slung between the steel frames to form the floors and ceilings on each level. Cast in-situ slabs are used in high rise buildings and huge shopping complexes as well as houses. These in-situ slabs are cast on site using shutters and reinforced steel.
The document discusses bubble deck slabs, which are hollow concrete slabs that use plastic spheres to replace ineffective concrete. There are three main types - filigree elements, reinforcement modules, and finished planks. Bubble deck slabs are lighter than traditional slabs, stronger, allow for larger spans, and use less material. They also provide benefits like reduced construction time and costs as well as being more environmentally friendly through lower CO2 emissions.
This seminar presentation discussed bubble deck slabs, which are hollow core slabs invented in Denmark that reduce structural dead weight by replacing ineffective concrete in the slab center with hollow spheres. The presentation covered the principle, materials, types, methodology, literature review analyzing load capacity and weight reduction, applications, advantages like reduced material usage and longer spans, and disadvantages like limited thickness and lower punching capacity. Finite element analysis using ANSYS showed bubble deck slabs experience similar deflection and cracks as solid slabs while removing up to 30% of the weight.
This document provides an overview of bubble deck slabs. It describes bubble deck slabs as a method that virtually eliminates concrete from the middle of floor slabs, replacing it with hollow plastic spheres to reduce weight by 30-50%. This makes construction faster and reduces loads on foundations. Three main types - filigree elements, reinforcement modules, and finished planks - are described. Experimental results show bubble deck slabs have 80% of solid slab shear strength and 5% more deflection, but are 40% lighter. Advantages include reduced material needs, costs, and CO2 emissions. Future uses could include tall buildings, large spans, and parking areas.

The document discusses bendable or engineered cementitious composite (ECC) concrete. It is a type of fiber-reinforced concrete that is ductile and crack-resistant. ECC concrete uses microfibers, a slick coating on the fibers, fine sand, and superplasticizers. It bends like metal and is stronger and more durable than regular concrete. Structures made of ECC concrete are earthquake and crack resistant. Examples of uses include earthquake-proof buildings, flexible concrete canvases for military use, and more durable bridges and roads.
This seminar presentation discusses bubble deck slabs. Bubble deck slabs are a type of reinforced concrete slab that uses hollow plastic spheres instead of solid concrete in the center portion. This reduces weight by 50% compared to solid slabs while maintaining 90% of the strength. Other advantages include reduced concrete usage by 10-25%, larger spans, and lower construction costs. The presentation reviews several research papers that studied the load capacity and behavior of bubble deck slabs through experiments and finite element analysis. Most concluded that bubble deck slabs have lower punching shear capacity but similar overall performance to solid slabs.
This document discusses bubble deck slabs, which are reinforced concrete slabs that replace inactive concrete in the center with hollow plastic spheres. Bubble deck slabs offer several advantages over traditional slabs and hollow core slabs, including reduced weight, increased strength, ability to span longer distances, faster construction time, and reduced material usage. Experimental studies showed bubble deck slabs have 80% of the shear strength and the same deflections as solid deck slabs, but weigh 40% less. The slabs also offer benefits for construction, engineering, the environment, and economics. The first high-rise building to use bubble deck slabs was the 131m tall Millennium Tower in Rotterdam.
The document discusses proper detailing of reinforced concrete structures, which is essential for safety and structural performance. It provides guidelines and examples of good and bad detailing practices for common reinforced concrete elements like slabs, beams, columns, and foundations. Proper detailing is important to avoid construction errors and ensure the structural design works as intended under gravity and seismic loads.
This document discusses bubble deck slabs, which are biaxial voided concrete slabs that use hollow plastic spheres to replace inactive concrete in the center. Bubble deck slabs provide structural advantages like less weight, increased strength, and the ability to span longer distances without needing beams. Experimental studies show bubble deck slabs have similar shear strength and deflections to solid slabs but are 40% lighter. They provide construction, engineering, environmental, and economic benefits. The first high-rise building constructed with bubble deck slabs was the 131m tall Millennium Tower in Rotterdam. Bubble deck slabs may become more widely used for constructing skyscrapers and other structures in the future.
This document discusses composite construction, where a prefabricated beam and cast-in-place concrete slab act together as a unit. It defines composite construction and describes its advantages over non-composite construction, including increased stiffness, strength, and span length. The document discusses how shear connectors interconnect the beam and slab to achieve composite action. It provides equations for calculating the effective slab width, section properties of the composite section, and required strength of shear connectors. An example is given for designing a composite slab on a precast reinforced concrete beam.
Fibre reinforced concrete has fibres added to increase its tensile strength and crack resistance. It has higher ductility, toughness, and post-cracking capacity compared to normal concrete. Various fibre types can be used including steel, glass, carbon and natural fibres. The fibres control cracking, increase strength and durability. Proper fibre volume, aspect ratio and distribution are needed to achieve optimal mechanical properties in the fibre reinforced concrete. Its applications include pavements, structural elements and precast construction.
Lightweight concrete has a lower density than normal concrete, ranging from 300-1850 kg/m3. There are three main types: lightweight aggregate concrete uses expanded aggregates; aerated concrete is produced by incorporating air bubbles; and no-fines concrete omits fine aggregates. Lightweight concrete provides benefits like improved thermal insulation, soundproofing, and fire resistance compared to normal concrete.
Ferrocement is a thin reinforced concrete made of cement mortar and wire mesh. It is strong, durable, and low-cost. Common applications include walls, floors, roofs, water tanks, bridges, and marine structures. Ferrocement is 2-5 cm thick and has a cement mortar mix reinforced with steel mesh or rods. It was invented in the 1850s and methods of construction include skeletal armature, closed mould, integral mould, and open mould. Ferrocement is used Residential buildings, marine applications, water and sanitation infrastructure, agriculture, renewable energy, and other structures.
Composite structure of concrete and steel.Suhailkhan204
This document discusses composite structures, which combine steel and concrete materials. The key elements of composite structures are composite deck slabs, beams, and columns, along with shear connectors. Composite structures take advantage of concrete's compressive strength and steel's tensile strength. They provide benefits like increased load capacity, stiffness, fire resistance, and cost savings compared to traditional steel or concrete construction alone. An example project, the Millennium Tower in Vienna, is described. The document analyzes costs and concludes that composite structures are best suited for high-rise buildings due to reduced weight, increased ductility, and savings of around 10% compared to reinforced concrete.

Bamboo can be used as reinforcement in concrete. It has strength greater than most timber and can be prepared through splitting, sizing, and seasoning. Bamboo reinforced concrete design is similar to steel reinforced design but uses different mechanical properties for bamboo. Beams, girders, and columns can all be designed using bamboo as longitudinal and shear reinforcement. While bamboo cracks and deflects more than steel, it is cheaper and more accessible in some areas.
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a highly fluid concrete that can flow and consolidate under its own weight without vibration. It was developed in Japan in the 1980s in response to a shortage of skilled labor. SCC mixtures have more powder and less coarse aggregate than conventional concrete, and include high-range water reducers and viscosity modifying agents. SCC allows for easier placement, improved surface finish, and greater design freedom.
Ferrocement is a special form of concrete where there is no coarse aggregate but cement mortar is reinforced with wire mesh to obtain higher strength and low weight.
This document presents a project on the properties and applications of foam concrete. It was presented by two students from the Department of Civil Engineering at KUET. The document defines foam concrete as a cement-based slurry with at least 20% entrained foam. It discusses the materials and manufacturing process of foam concrete and describes its key properties like compressive strength, thermal conductivity, drying shrinkage and fire resistance which vary according to density. The document also outlines various applications of foam concrete in construction based on density and highlights its advantages like light weight and rapid construction as well as limitations. Finally, it discusses the potential of foam concrete in Bangladesh.
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) was developed in Japan in the 1980s to achieve complete compaction without vibration. SCC flows under its own weight, fills formwork and passes through reinforced areas without segregation of ingredients. It consists of cement, fine and coarse aggregates, chemical and mineral admixtures. Superplasticizers and viscosity modifying agents provide workability and stability. Tests like slump flow, V-funnel, and J-ring evaluate filling ability, passing ability and resistance to segregation. SCC offers benefits of reduced labor, better compaction and surface finish compared to conventional concrete but requires more precise material proportions and quality control.
Pumped concrete is concrete that is transported to heights using concrete pumps rather than other means. It consists of a hopper that feeds concrete into the pump, which then pushes it through delivery pipelines. Pumped concrete has a high slump value of 50-100mm to prevent segregation and bleeding, and special measures must be taken to prevent blockages in the pipelines like careful mix design, shortening pipes, and periodic cleaning.
This document discusses engineered cementitious composites (ECC). It describes the procedure for designing an ECC mix based on micromechanical principles. The mix uses Portland cement, fly ash, and 2% polyvinyl alcohol fibers by volume. Experiments compared standard and non-standard ECC mixes using different aggregates. The non-standard mix using lumajang sand had slightly lower density and tensile strength than the standard mix using silica sand. Both ECC mixes exhibited strain hardening behavior and tensile strengths over 3% strain, indicating ECC is more ductile than conventional concrete.

The document summarizes Bubble Deck slab, a biaxial voided concrete slab that replaces inactive concrete in the center with high density plastic spheres. This reduces the slab weight by 30-50% compared to a solid slab while maintaining equal stiffness. Bubble Deck slabs allow for longer spans between columns and reduced foundation loads. Key benefits include material savings, faster construction, reduced CO2 emissions, and increased structural strength and flexibility. The document outlines the materials, advantages, experimental studies, and future applications of Bubble Deck slabs.
Here is the table explaining the types of materials available for formwork:
Material | Suitability | Advantages | Disadvantages | Cost
-|-|-|-|-
Timber | Suitable for all types of formwork including beams, columns, slabs and foundations. Commonly used material. | Readily available. Easy to work with using basic carpentry tools. Can be reused multiple times if properly maintained. | Requires more maintenance between uses. Subject to damage. Absorbs water reducing quality of concrete surface. More combustible. | Low cost.
Plywood | Suitable for slab formwork and walls. | Strong and durable. Provides smooth concrete finish. Water resistant. | Heavier than timber. Requires proper support

This document discusses various types of special concretes including lightweight concrete, high density concrete, mass concrete, plum concrete, fiber reinforced concrete, polymer concrete, ferrocement, high strength concrete, high performance concrete, precast concrete, and fly ash concrete. It describes the materials and properties of each type of concrete and their applications in construction.
Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block is a building material made of Portland cement, fine aggregates (fly ash or sand), water and an expansion agent in an autoclaving process heated under pressure which results in the production of air voids in the material, making it less dense, easy to cut/mould and better insulating
The document discusses cement concrete, including its composition, properties, types, and testing methods. Cement concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, crushed rock, and water that hardens over time. It has high compressive strength but is weak in tension, so reinforcement is often added. Types include plain, reinforced, pre-stressed, lightweight, no-fines, and fiber-reinforced concrete. Workability is tested via slump and compaction factor tests, while compressive strength is determined through crushing tests. The document provides details on the composition, production, and applications of various concrete types.
Formwork Presentation for Construction TechnologyI'mMiss Lily
1. Formwork refers to the temporary structure used to support wet concrete until it is cured and can support itself. Common materials used include wood, steel, aluminum, plastic and plywood.
2. A good formwork must be water tight, strong, and reusable while also considering factors like quality, safety, and economy. It must be able to withstand loads, retain its shape, and be removed without damaging the concrete.
3. Different types of formworks are used for columns, beams, slabs, and other structural elements. Column formwork typically consists of side and end planks joined by yokes and bolts. Beam formworks use thick timber or plywood and are supported by props.
Structural lightweight concrete and fibre reinforced concrete are special types of concrete developed to improve certain properties. Structural lightweight concrete contains lightweight aggregates, giving it a lower density than normal concrete, and is used to reduce dead loads in structures like high-rise buildings. Fibre reinforced concrete includes short discrete fibres, such as steel fibres, which increase its tensile strength and crack resistance compared to plain concrete.
Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) combines ordinary concrete with steel reinforcement to increase its compressive and tensile strength. Steel reinforcement is needed because concrete has high compressive strength but low tensile strength. When tensile forces are involved, such as in beams and slabs, plain concrete risks failure. Steel has high tensile strength and when combined with concrete, forms a material capable of withstanding compressive, tensile, and shear forces. This material is RCC. Fibers can also be added to concrete as reinforcement and different types of fibers include steel, polypropylene, glass, polyester, and carbon fibers, with each providing specific benefits to the concrete. Natural fibers from animal, plant, or
This document discusses column jacketing, which is a method of retrofitting and strengthening existing columns. It involves adding reinforced concrete, steel, or fiber-reinforced polymer around the column. The key steps are preparing the column surface, adding shear keys and reinforcement, applying a bonding agent, and casting the new concrete or installing the jacket. Column jacketing increases the strength and seismic capacity of the column. It improves confinement and increases axial, shear, and foundation load capacity without significant weight addition.
Formwork is used as a temporary mold for pouring concrete that will harden into the desired structural shape. There are various types of formwork classified by material (timber, plywood, steel, aluminum, plastic, magnesium) or purpose (slab formwork, beam formwork, column formwork). Proper formwork design is important to withstand loads, retain shape, prevent leakage, and allow removal without damage to concrete. The order and method of removing formwork is also important for safety.
It is used as a mould for a structure in which fresh concrete is poured only to harden subsequently.

The most common disposal method is tailings dams, but there are environmental risks. The document then examines three disposal methods - tailings dams, surface paste disposal, and disposal using geotextile materials. It analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Cost analyses show that surface paste disposal has the lowest operation costs and is the most appropriate economically for surface disposal of tailings.
Digital jewelry is fashion jewelry embedded with computer components like displays, microphones, and antennas. A prototype consists of separate pieces like earrings with speakers, a necklace microphone, and a ring with an LED display. The Java Ring aims to automatically unlock doors and computers using passwords stored on a ring. While digital jewelry provides computing on the go without devices, challenges remain regarding battery life, cost, and integrating technology seamlessly into jewelry.
Cluster computing involves linking together independent computers as a single system for high availability and high performance computing. A cluster contains multiple commodity computers connected by a high-speed network. There are different types of clusters like high availability clusters that provide uninterrupted services if a node fails, and load balancing clusters that distribute requests across nodes. Key components of clusters are nodes, networks, and software. Clusters provide benefits like availability, performance, and scalability for applications. However, limitations include high latency and lack of software to treat a cluster as a single system.

4. Abstract
Bubble deck slab is a method of virtually eliminating all
concrete from the middle of a floor which is not
performing any structural function,
slab,
thereby dramatically
reducing structural dead weight.
5. • High density polyethylene hollow spheres replace the in-
effective concrete in the centre of the slab, thus decreasing the
dead weight and increasing the efficiency of the floor.
• By introducing the gaps leads to a 30 to 50% lighter slab which
reduces the loads on the columns, walls and foundations, and of
course of the entire building.
• The advantages are less energy consumption - both in
production, transport and carrying out, less emission - exhaust
gases from production and transport, especially Co2.
6. INTRODUCTION
• BUBBLE deck slab is a biaxial hollow core slab invented in
Denmark. It is a method of virtually eliminating all concrete from
the middle of a floor slab not performing any structural function
thereby dramatically reducing structural dead weight.
• Bubble deck slab is based on a new patented technique which
involves the direct way of linking air and steel.
• Void forms in the middle of a flat slab by means of plastic spheres
eliminate 30%-50%of a slab's self-weight removing constraints of
high dead loads and short spans Its flexible layout easily adapts to
irregular and curved plan configurations.
• The system allows for the realization of longer spans, more rapid
and less expensive erection, as well as the elimination of down-stand
beams.
• The Bubble deck slab floor system can be used for storey floors,
roof floors and ground floor slabs.
7. • Since the weight of the structure reduced, this type of
structure can useful to reduce earthquake damage.
• Bubble deck slab is composed of three main materials
they are steel, plastic spheres and concrete.
• 1) Concrete :The concrete is made of standard Portland
cement with max aggregate size of 20mm.No
plasticizers are necessary for concrete mixture.
• 2) Steel :The steel reinforcement is of grade Fy60
strength or higher. The steel is fabricated in two forms -
meshed layers for lateral support and diagonal girders
for vertical support of the bubbles.
• 3) Plastic spheres :The hollow spheres are made from
recycled high-density polyethylene or HDPE.
8. Types of Bubble Deck
Type A- Filigree Elements
Type B- Reinforcement Modules
Type C- Finished Planks
Type A:- Filigree Elements
Type-A is a combination of constructed and unconstructed elements. A 60 mm thick
concrete layer that acts as both the formwork and part of the finished depth is precast
and brought on site with the bubbles and steel reinforcement unattached.
The bubbles are then supported by temporary stands on top of the precast layer and
held in place by a honeycomb of interconnected steel mesh.
Additional steel may be inserted according to the reinforcement requirements of the
design. The full depth of the slab is reached by common concreting techniques and
finished as necessary.
9. Type B:-Reinforcement Modules
• A reinforcement module one which consists of a pre-assembled
sandwich of steel mesh and plastic bubbles, or "bubble lattice“.
• These components are brought to the site, laid on traditional
formwork, connected with any additional reinforcement, and then
concreted in place by traditional methods.
10. Type C:- Finished Planks
• Is a shop-fabricated module that includes the plastic spheres,
reinforcement mesh and concrete in its finished form.
• The module is manufactured to the final depth in the form of a plank
and is delivered on site.
• Requires the use of support beams or load bearing walls. This class
of Bubble Deck is best for shorter spans and limited construction
schedules.
11. • The first high rise building erected with Bubble Deck filigree elements and
the second highest building in Netherlands, 34 stories and 131 meter high.
• Bubble Deck was chosen, in spite of being a completely new product,
because of its advantages in cost , construction time and flexibility and
because of environmental issues. Beams could be excluded resulting in two
more stories than planned in the beginning for the same building height.
Built in 1998-2000.
Examples of Project Millenium Tower
Rotterdam
12. Effect• The basic effect of the bubbles is the weight reduction of the deck. The dead load of the
Bubble Deck is 1/3 lesser than a solid deck with the same thickness – and that without
effecting the bending strength and the deflection behavior of the deck.
13. MATERIALS STEEL –The steel
reinforcement is of MS or
HYSD can be used.
PLASTIC
SPHERES
•hollow spheres made
from recycled high density
polyethylene.
•Enough strength &
rigidity.
• Not porous.
• Doesn’t react
chemically with
concrete or steel.
CONCRETE-the concrete is made of
cement with maxstandard Portland
aggregate size of
¾ inch.
14. WHY BUBBLE DECK SLAB ?
No compromise for strength&
serviceability
Flat slab technology
(no need of beams
)
Longer spans
Pre fabricated
&
cast in-situ
15. Shear
• The main difference between a solid slab and a voided biaxial slab refers to
shear resistance. Due to the reduced concrete volume, the shear resistance
will also be reduced.
• Near the columns, bubbles are left out so in these zones a Bubble deck slab
is designed exactly the same way as a solid slab. Shear resistance of Bubble
deck slab is 0.6 times the shear resistance of a solid slab of the same
thickness .
• In practice, the reduced shear resistance will not lead to problems, as balls
are simply left out where the shear is high, at columns and walls.
16. Bending strength
• Bubble Deck when compared to a solid deck, both
practically and theoretically.
• The results in the table below shows that for the
same deck thickness, the bending strength is same
for Bubble Deck and for a solid deck and that the
stiffness of the Bubble Deck is slightly lower.
• Bending stresses in the Bubble Deck slab are
found to be 6.43% lesser than that of solid slab.
17. • The ultimate load value obtaining bending tests were
upto 90% greater than the ultimate load value. The
bottom reinforcement steel and the top compressive
portion of stress block contributes to flexural stiffness
in the bending.
18. Durability
• The durability of bubble deck slab is not fundamentally different
from ordinary solid slabs.
• Bubble deck slab joints have a chamfer on the inside to ensure that
concrete surrounds each bar and does not allow a direct route to air
from the rebar surface. This is primarily a function of the fire
resistance but is also relevant to durability.
• Cracking in Bubble deck slab is not worse, and probably better, than
solid slabs designed to work at the same stress levels.
• Bubble deck slab possesses a continuous mesh, top and bottom,
throughout the slab and this ensures shrinkage restraint is well
provided for and that cracking is kept to a minimum .
19. Deflection
• Deflection of Bubble Deck is 5.88% more than
solid slab as the stiffness is reduced due to the
hollow portion.
• Strengthened Bubble Deck has low deflection
compare to un strengthened Bubble Deck slab.
• Conventional slab carried the stress of about
30.98 MPa by applying the udl load of about 340
kN and causes deflection of 12.822 mm.
• The Bubble Deck slab carried the stress of about
30.8 MPa by applying the udl load of about 320
kN and causes deflection of 14.303mm.
20. • The Bubble Deck slab can withstand 80% of
stress when compared with conventional slab.
• Slide variation occurs in the deformation when
compared to conventional slab.
21. Vibration
• RC slab
problems
structures are generally less susceptible to
compared to steel framed and light weight
vibration
skeletal
Structures, especially using thin slabs.
• However, Bubble deck slab is light and is not immune from
vibration in all cases so this must be checked just as it should be in
appropriate solid slab applications.
• The most effective weapons against vibration particularly resonant
vibration, are stiffness and damping.
• If we consider damping to be similar to solid slabs, and concentrate
on stiffness, we may observe that a Bubble deck slab can provided
over 2 times the stiffness obtained from a solid slab for the same
quantity of concrete used.
22. Fire resistance
• The fire resistance of the slab is a complex matter but is
chiefly dependent on the ability of the steel to retain sufficient
strength during a fire when it will be heated and lose
significant strength as the temperature rises.
• The temperature of the steel is controlled by the fire and the
insulation of the steel from the fire.
• In an intense, prolonged fire, the ball would melt and
eventually char without significant or detectable effect
• Fire resistance depends on concrete cover nearly 60-180
minutes.
• Smoke Resistance is about 1.5 times the fire resistance.
• Balls simply carbonize. No toxic gasses will be released.
23. Advantages
• Structural
• Less weight.
• Increased strength.
• No need of beams.
• Only few columns required.
• Larger span.
• Free choice of Shape.
• Less foundation depth.
• Less excavation required.
15 M
24. • Construction
• Light in weight less equipment is required.
• Easy incorporation of ducts and pipes into slab.
• Less work on construction site.
• Engineering
• The biaxial flat slab system and columns are ideal for
structures with high resistance against Explosions.
• These slabs and column system acts as an elastic
membrane which transfer horizontal forces to stiff
vertical structures which is used for Earthquake
resistant designs.
25. • Environment
• Less material and energy consumption.
• Reducing Co2 emission up to 40 kg/m2.
• 1kg of plastic replaces 100kg of concrete.
• Every component can be recycled.
• Economy
• Savings in materials.
• Transportation costs reduced.
• Faster construction time.
• Buildings can be more flexible and easy in installations.
26. Experimental studies
1.Shear strength- 80% of solid deck slab
2.Deflections -
3.Weight -
5% more as solid deck
40% less than a solid slab
4.Fire resistance - 65% of solid slab
27. Scope of future use
• Used for constructing all types of building
especially sky scrapers.
• Best for larger span halls like theatres and
auditoriums.
• Pedestrian bridge decks.
• Used in parking areas as less number of
columns are required.
28. Conclusion
• Weight reduction is 50% compared to solid.
• The bubble deck technology is environmentally green
and sustainable; avoiding the cement production allows
reducing global Co2 emissions.
• In comparative of conventional slab the volume of
concrete in bubble deck (continuous) are less required,
that is 25% approximate.
• Cost and time saving by using bubbles in the slab like
weight of slab, concrete volume indirectly load on the
beam and walls also decrease/ less so that building
foundations can be designed for smaller dead loads.
