2. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

   For a suspended slab, there are a number of designs to improve the strength-to-weight ratio. In all cases the top surface remains flat, and the underside is modulated: A corrugated slab is designed when the concrete is poured into a corrugated steel tray, more commonly called decking. This steel tray improves strength of the slab, and prevents ...

3. Lift slab construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_slab_construction

   Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the work to be completed at ground level, negating the ...

5. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

   Reinforced concrete, also called ferroconcrete, is a composite material in which concrete's relatively low tensile strength and ductility are compensated for by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility.

6. Hollow-core slab - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-core_slab

   The precast concrete slab has tubular voids extending the full length of the slab, typically with a diameter equal to the 2/3–3/4 the thickness of the slab. This makes the slab much lighter than a massive solid concrete floor slab of equal thickness or strength. The reduced weight also lowers material and transportation costs.
