About Dome,Pitch roof,Arches slab

Dome Slab:-

These kind of slab is generally constructed in temples, Mosques, palaces etc. And Dome slab is built on conventional slab. Thickness of Dome slab is 0.15m. Domes are in semi circle and shuttering is done on conventional slab in dome shape and concrete is filled in shuttering forming dome shapes. This is a one of the types of concrete slabs.

PITCH ROOF SLAB:

Pitch roof is an inclined slab , generally constructed on resorts for a natural look. Compared to traditional roofing materials Tile-sheets used in pitch roof slab  are extreamely lightweight. This weight saving reduces the timber or steel structural requirements resulting in significant cost savings.Tile-sheets are tailor made for each project offering labour cost savings and reduced site wastage. And the thickness of slab is depends on the tiles we using it may be 2″-8″. This is a one of the types of concrete slabs.



Advantages:

1. It sheds off rain water better.
2. It gives you internal storage or room space.
3. It is less likely to leak.
4. Roof coverings are cheaper.
5. If it is a standard pitch, building materials are more cost-effective

Disadvantages:


  1. This type of slabs are not suggested for long spans.
  2. Repairs in slabs ike plumbing repair or electric wiring on slabs is difficult.


SLAB WITH ARCHES:

This is a type of slabs which is generally adopted in construction of bridges. Bridges are subjected to  two loads moving load from the vehicles and Wind load. These slabs are adopted at a place where there is a need of redirecting wind load and if there is a long curve in direction of slab these slabs are adopted.  It resists the fall of bridge due to heavy wind load.

They were originally built of stone or brick but these days are built of reinforced concrete or steel. The introduction of these new materials allow arch bridges to be longer with lower spans. This is a one of the types of concrete slabs.

Hardy slab and where it use

  HARDY SLAB :- These kind of slabs are generally seen in Dubai and China. This  slab is constructed by hardy Bricks. Hardy bricks are hollow bricks and made up of concrete Hollow blocks are used to fill portions of the slab thickness it saves the  amount of concrete and hence the own weight of the slab is reduced. This kind of slab has a more thickness when compared with the conventional one. The thickness of hardy slab is 0.27m. The method of installing Hardy slab is different from normal  and it is clearly explained below: This is a one of the types of concrete slabs. The dimensions of Hardy brick is 40cm x 20cm x 20cm The process of execution is as follows: Step 1   : Formwork is arranged and then shutters are fixed on the formwork. Step 2  : Hardy blocks are placed on the shutter with one brick gap on the entire shutter. Step 3  : The gaps between the bricks are called as rib. Reinforcement is provided in a form of beam within the gap. Step 4  : After placing the

Waffle slab and where to use

  WAFFLE SLAB :- Waffle slab is a reinforced concrete roof or floor containing square grids with deep sides. This kind of slab is majorly used at entrance of hotels, Malls, Restaurants for good pictorial view and to install artificial lighting. This a  type of slab where we find hollow hole in the slab when the formwork is removed.  Firstly PVC trays (pods) are placed on shuttering then reinforcement is provided between the pods and steel mesh is provided at top of the pods and then concrete is filled. After concrete sets the formwork is removed and PVC pods are not removed. This forms hollow hole in it in which hole is closed at one end. The concrete waffle slab is often used for industrial and commercial buildings while wood and metal waffle slabs are used in many other construction sites. This is a one of the types of concrete slabs. Where to use? A waffle slab is a type of slab with holes underneath, giving an appearance of waffles. It is usually used where large spans are r
