| Light & biaxial |
| The cobiax void formers reduce the dead weight of the cobiax flat slab by up to 35% compared to a
solid
slab of same bearing capacity. |
 |
 |
The dead weight reduction allows the dimensions of the building’s vertical bearing elements such as columns to be reduced |
|
|
The reduction in dead weight provides scope for savings in foundation design including fewer piles or length of piles |
|
|
The dead weight reduction leads to a smaller deflection of the slab |
|
|
| Compared to conventional one-directional hollow core slabs the load bearing of the cobiax flat slab is in two directions and therefore considered biaxial. |
|
|
The slab can follow any shape and is no limited to linear supports, allowing complete architectural freedom |
