  2. Concrete leveling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_leveling

    In civil engineering, concrete leveling is a procedure that attempts to correct an uneven concrete surface by altering the foundation that the surface sits upon. It is a cheaper alternative to having replacement concrete poured and is commonly performed at small businesses and private homes as well as at factories, warehouses, airports and on roads, highways and other infrastructure.

  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 ...

    No panel rotation is being considered. Panel Volume: V = w x h x d = 6.0 m x 3.0 m x 0.15 m = 2.7 m 3; Weight: W = V x concrete specific gravity = 2.7 m 3 x 24 kN/m 3 = 64.8 kN; Calculated casting bed suction Suction area: A = w x h = 6.0 m x 3.0 m = 18 m 2; Assuming 1.0 kN/m 2 is applied for oiled steel formwork

  5. Waffle slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_slab

    The underside of a waffle slab, showing the grid like structure. A waffle slab or two-way joist slab is a concrete slab made of reinforced concrete with concrete ribs running in two directions on its underside. [1] The name waffle comes from the grid pattern created by the reinforcing ribs.

  6. Filigree concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filigree_concrete

    The Filigree Wideslab method is a process for construction of concrete floor decks from two interconnected concrete placements, one precast in a factory, and the other done in the field. The method was developed during the late 1960s by Harry H. Wise as a more efficient and economic construction process than conventional cast-in-place technologies.

  7. 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 ).

    An alternative raised floor application with disposable formworks from job site in Turkey A suction-cup tile lifter has been used to remove a tile.. A raised floor (also raised flooring, access floor(ing), or raised-access computer floor) provides an elevated structural floor above a solid substrate (often a concrete slab) to create a hidden void for the passage of mechanical and electrical ...

  9. Waffle slab foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_slab_foundation

    Waffle slab foundations adhere to International Building Code requirements. By 2008, most states put into effect the changes adopted in the 2006 IBC and, in regards to foundations, the on-grade mat foundation has become a more attractive design because, as an engineered system, it already accommodates the 2008 design recommendations, and required no major modifications to bring it into compliance.
