| Earthquake resistance |
| In case of seismic forces impacting a building, the accelerated mass of the horizontal elements has to be absorbed by the vertical structure. |
 |
| The hollow core spheres reduce the dead weight of the slab and thus the horizontally accelerated mass. |
|
 |
The cobiax flat slab – combined with shear walls – is a most effective concept for earthquake resistant construction in concrete |
|
|
Cobiax allows earthquake proof structures – even for filigree designs |
|
|
The diaphragm action of the cobiax flat slab is warranted |
