 |
| The structural design and execution detailing of the cobiax flat slab is straight forward. |
| |
 |
The cobiax flat slab has the same load bearing behaviour as conventional concrete solid slabs |
|
|
The standard design and detailing sequences for solid concrete slabs can be directly applied |
|
|
Validated construction codes and standards are compatible with the cobiax technology |
|
| The presence of the cobiax void formers is reflected in a couple of numeric factors which are to be considered during the design process. This applies for: |
|
 |
Dead load |
|
Stiffness of the slab |
|
Maximum shear stress |
|
|
 |
|
| Interfaces and installation details are similar to traditional concrete details. Elements like ducts, electrical fittings, plumbing, etc. can be easily integrated and combined with the cobiax void formers. |
|
|
Cobiax can be used with other building techniques such as post tensioning and composite structures |
|
|
Concrete grade and density can be specified to suit the project requirements in the same way as for traditional solid slabs |
|
|
The design of the cobiax flat slab does not call for special software. The existing state-of-the-art FE programs can be used |
