Bubble Deck
It comprises a hollow, flat slab that spans in two directions, in which plastic balls are incorporated to replace, and eliminate the concrete in the middle of a conventional slab which does not contribute to its structural performance.
Effect of Bubble Deck
Weight reduction of the deck
The dead load of the Bubble deck is 1/3 lesser than a solid deck with the same thickness– and that without effecting the bending strength and the deflection behavior of the deck.
Advantages:
•Cost savings – requires up to 35 per cent less concrete than traditional concrete structures
•Fast construction – virtually no formwork, no downturn beams or drop heads, and fast coverage of up to 35m2 per panel
•Green attributes – less use of construction materials, less energy consumption, reduced CO2 emissions
•Reduced health and safety risks – off-site manufacturing, fewer vehicle movements and crane lifts, simple installation
Advantages
• It allows freedom of design with non-rectilinear plan forms.
• Construction is less weather dependent as there is no need to erect load-bearing block work to support floor slabs, which is taken off the critical path.
• Elimination of down-stand beams means the problems and the costs of routing services around, or through, structure, are avoided.
• Reduced foundation sizes because there is up to 50% less structural dead-weight.
• Concrete usage is significantly reduced; 1kg of recycled plastic replaces 100kg of concrete. It is, therefore, environmentally friendly.
• It uses fewer building elements compared to steel frame and metal decking systems and so reduces erection time.
• There is no need for additional fire protection – the completed Bubble Deck structure provides 1 to 2 hours protection dependent upon concrete cover specified.
• Cross-bracing and intermediate supports are eliminated.
Advantages
Earthquake resistance
Seismic forces impacting a building are proportional to the horizontally accelerated mass, which has to be absorbed by the vertical structure.
A BubbleDeck slab with its reduced dead load, will consequently reduce these forces.
A Bubble Deck slab and column system is without singularities and acts like an elastic membrane, sufficient to transfer horizontal forces to stiff cores/walls
