    This document discusses various floor and slab systems, including flat slabs, flat plates, ribbed floor slabs, waffle slabs, lift slabs, and slip form construction. It also briefly mentions wall panel systems such as flat panels, ribbed panels, window/wall panels, and tilt-up wall panels. Flat slabs provide flexibility and minimum depth, while flat plates have simple construction and low ceilings that reduce costs. Ribbed slabs and waffle slabs have higher formwork costs and lower fire ratings. Lift slabs are precast and lifted into place to reduce handling and transportation. Slip forming enables continuous concrete pouring into a moving form.

    FLOOR SYSTEM AND SLAB SYSTEM


    1.1

    Flat slab

    Flat slabs are appropriate for most


    floor situations and also for
    irregular column layouts, curved
    floor shapes, ramps etc. The
    benefits of choosing flat slabs
    include a minimum depth solution,
    speed of construction, flexibility in
    the plan layout (both in terms of
    the shape and column layout), a
    flat soffit (clean finishes and
    freedom of layout of services) and scope and space for the use of flying
    forms.
    1.2

    Flat plate
    A flat plate floor system is a
    two-way concrete slab
    supported directly on
    columns with reinforcement
    in two orthogonal directions
    (Figure 1). Primarily used in
    hotels, multi-family
    residential buildings, and
    hospitals, this system has
    the advantages of simple construction and formwork and a flat
    ceiling, the latter of which reduces ceiling finishing costs, since the
    architectural finish can be applied directly to the underside of the
    slab. Even more significant are the cost savings associated with the
    low-story heights made possible by the shallow floor system.
    Smaller vertical runs of cladding, partition walls, mechanical
    systems, plumbing, and a large number of other items of
    construction translate to large cost savings, especially for medium
    and high-rise buildings. Moreover, where the total height of a
    building is restricted, using a flat plate will result in more stories
    accommodated within the set height.

    1.3

    Ribbed floor slab


    Ribbed floors consisting of equally spaced ribs are usually
    supported directly by columns. They are either one-way spanning
    systems known as ribbed slab or a two-way ribbed system known
    as a waffle slab. This form of construction is not very common
    because of the formwork costs and the low fire rating.

    1.4

    Waffle slab
    A reinforced concrete
    slab with equally spaced
    ribs parallel to the sides,
    having a waffle
    appearance from
    below.

    Lift slab
    Lift-Slab
    slab on the

    Construction is a precast method of construction of


    ground and then lifting it to the structure. A type of
    precasting used in building construction
    involves casting floor and roof slabs at or
    near ground level and lifting them to their
    final position, hence the
    name lift-slab
    construction. It offers many
    of the advantages of precasting and
    eliminates many of the
    storing, handling, and
    transporting disadvantages.

    Slip form method
    Slip form construction is a construction method in which concrete is
    poured into a
    continuously moving form. Slip forming
    is used for
    tall structures (such as bridges,
    towers, buildings, and dams), as well
    as horizontal
    structures, such as
    roadways. Slip forming
    enables
    continuous, non-interrupted, cast-in-place
    "flawless" (i.e. no joints) concrete
    structures which have superior
    performance characteristics to piecewise
    construction using discrete form elements. Slip forming relies on
    the quick-setting properties of concrete, and requires a balance
    between quick-setting capacity and workability. Concrete needs to
    be workable enough to be placed into the form and consolidated

    (via vibration), yet quick-setting enough to emerge from the form


    with strength. This strength is needed because the freshly set
    concrete must not only permit the form to "slip" by the concrete
    without disturbing it, but also support the pressure of the new
    concrete as well as resist collapse caused by the vibration of the
    compaction machinery.
