Filler Slab Roofs Advantages

Hence we are elimi.

Filler slab roofs advantages. Filler slab is based on the concrete portions and instead of placing filler material there and is one cost effective roofing system. The consumption of steel is lesser than that of the solid slab. Where the area above the neutral axis is the compression zone and the area below the neutral axis is tensile zone. The filler material thus is not a structural part of the slab.

Thus the filler slab as the roof has the following advantages. Due to the use of low cost less heavy filler material such as clay pots rejected cali cut tiles and broken pieces of cement blocks the filler slab consumes less concrete and steel as compared to conventional rcc slab. Filler slabs are one cost effective roofing system which is based on the concrete portions and instead placing filler material there. The filler slab is a mechanism to replace the concrete in the tension zone.

Rcc is composite material where concrete is strong in compression and weak in tension. Due to the reduction of concrete volume the overall cost of slab is lower than solid slab even after considering additional cost of mangalore tiles. This image shows a beam. By reducing the quantity and weight of material the roof become less expensive yet retains the strength of the conventional slab.

Filler slab technology is a simple and a very innovative technology for a slab construction. Slab thickness minimum 112 5 mm. The filler slab is based on the principle that for roofs which are simply supported the upper part of the slab is subjected to compressive forces and the lower part of the slab experience tensile forces. Thus the filler slab as the roof has the following advantages.
