Back to project overview
  Initial situation
  Due to the too large deflection and despite a beam of the size 45x57cm along a free slab edge with a span of 12,60m, one had to recourse on the biaxial Cobiax Technology. Further to the statical solution the cobiax slab offers advantages on installation.
 
  Solution
  The deflection limited at L/400 was attained through the following measures: 1) displacement of a slab edge column towards a staircase (without influence on the overall absence of the columns in the interiors). Without this measure post tensioning would have been compulsory. 2) Use of a concrete with a higher modulus of elasticity, 3) Increase of the slab thickness from 30 to 37 cm.
 
  Conclusion
  In cooperation with the planners the changes to the project, especially the elimination of the beam, could be realised thanks to the improved characteristics of deflection of the cobiax flatslab.
