   A slab-trap is very much alike but more conclusive. Hunting with slabs is a system of hunting by means of a slab-trap. The fundamental part of the device is a slab. Preparing this trap was a delicate task. [7] [13] [14] Preparation of the trap: A slab of suitable dimensions is held in a raised position forming an appropriate angle with the ...

3. Voided biaxial slab - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voided_biaxial_slab

   Slabs are one of the greatest consumers of concrete in many buildings, [14] so reducing the slab mass can make a relatively large difference to the environmental impact of a building's construction. Biaxial slabs may be marginally cheaper than solid slabs, partly due to the lower mass.

4. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

   A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings, consisting of a flat, horizontal surface made of cast concrete. Steel-reinforced slabs, typically between 100 and 500 mm thick, are most often used to construct floors and ceilings, while thinner mud slabs may be used for exterior paving (see below). [1] [2]

5. Asphalt concrete - Wikipedia

   Asphalt batch mix plant A machine laying asphalt concrete, fed from a dump truck. Asphalt concrete (commonly called asphalt, [1] blacktop, or pavement in North America, and tarmac or bitumen macadam in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland) is a composite material commonly used to surface roads, parking lots, airports, and the core of embankment dams.

   Crazy paving is a means of hard-surfacing used outdoors, most frequently in gardens. Paving stones of irregular size and shape are laid in a haphazard manner sometimes with mortar filling the gaps between.

7. Tactile paving - Wikipedia

   A set of yellow truncated domes on the down-ramp in a parking lot. Tactile paving (also called tenji blocks, truncated domes, detectable warnings, tactile tiles, tactile ground surface indicators, tactile walking surface indicators, or detectable warning surfaces) is a system of textured ground surface indicators found at roadsides (such as at curb cuts), by and on stairs, and on railway ...

   Crazy paving, a means of hard-surfacing used outdoors; Nicolson pavement, a road surface material consisting of wooden blocks; Pavers (flooring), an outdoor floor done in blocks; Permeable paving, paving that enables stormwater to flow through it or between gaps; Portuguese pavement, the traditional paving used in most pedestrian areas in Portugal

9. Pervious concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervious_concrete

   A pervious concrete street in 2005. Pervious concrete (also called porous concrete, permeable concrete, no fines concrete and porous pavement) is a special type of concrete with a high porosity used for concrete flatwork applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site and allowing groundwater recharge.
