Bubble Deck Slab

The document discusses bubble deck slabs, which reduce the weight and cost of concrete floor slabs. Bubble deck slabs replace much of the inactive concrete in the center of a slab with hollow plastic spheres. This reduces the slab weight by 30-50% while maintaining structural strength. The reduced weight decreases loads on foundations and allows for longer spans. Bubble deck slabs offer savings in materials, construction time, transportation and energy usage compared to conventional concrete slabs.

BUBBLE DECK SLAB

PRESENTED BY :
FINAL YEAR CIVIL STUDENTS
DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING
GOVERNMENT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE KORUTLA ,JAGTIAL.
ABSTRACT

• Bubble deck slab is a method of virtually eliminating all concrete from the
middle of a floor slab, which is not performing any structural function,
thereby dramatically reducing structural dead weight.
• High density polyethylene hollow spheres replace the in-effective concrete
in the centre of the slab, thus decreasing the dead weight and increasing
the efficiency of the floor.
• By introducing the gaps leads to a 30 To 50% lighter slab which reduces
the loads on the columns, walls and foundations, and of course of the
entire building.
• The advantages are less energy consumption - both in production,
transport and carrying out, less emission - exhaust gases from production
and transport, especially CO2 .The aim of this paper is to discuss about
various properties of Bubble deck slab based on the various studies done
abroad. Moment, deflection and stress distributions are verified using
Finite Element Method
INTRODUCTION
• BUBBLE deck slab is a biaxial hollow core slab invented in Denmark.
• It is a method of virtually eliminating all concrete from the middle of a floor slab
not performing any structural function , thereby dramatically reducing structural
dead weight.
• Bubble deck slab is based on a new patented technique which involves the direct
way of linking air and steel.
• Void forms in the middle of a flat slab by means of plastic spheres eliminate 35%
of a slab's self-weight , removing constraints of high dead loads and short spans Its
flexible layout easily adapts to irregular and curved plan configurations.
• In building constructions slab is one of the largest structural member consuming
concrete.jorgen bruenig in 1990s invented the first biaxial slab ( now known as
bubble deck slab) in denmark
BUBBLE DECK SLAB IS COMPOSED OF THREE MAIN MATERIALS,THEY ARE STEEL,PLASTIC SPHERES AND CONCRETE.
 

 1) Concrete:
The concrete is made of standard Portland cement
with max aggregate size of 20 mm.
No plasticizers are necessary for concrete mixture.
2) Steel:
The steel reinforcement is of grade Fy60 strength or higher. The steel is
fabricated in two forms -meshed layers for lateral support and diagonal girders
for vertical support of the bubbles.
 
3) Plastic spheres:
The hollow spheres are made from recycled high-density polyethylene or HDPE.

INACTIVE CONCRETE
PROBLEMS WITH INACTIVE CONCRETE
• Additional weight,
• Span limitations,
• Material wastage,
• Energy consumption.
BUBBLE DECK SLAB

• The Best Solutions for above problems is bubble deck slab.


• Bubble deck slab is biaxial voided concrete slab in which high
density polythene hollow spheres replace the ineffective
concrete in the centre of slab.
WHY BUBBLE DECK SLAB ?

• NO COMPROMISE FOR STRENGTH &SERVICEABILITY


• FLAT SLAB TECHNOLOGY
• LONGER SPANS
ADVANTAGES
• STRUCTURAL
• LESS WEIGHT
• INCREASED STRENGTH
• LARGER SPAN
• LESS FOUNDATION DEPTH
• CONSTRUCTION
• Light in weight less equipment is required
• Less work on construction site
• ENVIRONMENT
• Less material and energy consumption
• 1 kg of plastic replaces 100 kg of concrete
• Every can bee recycled
• ECONOMY
• Savings in materials
• Faster construction time
• Transportation cost reduced
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES
1. Shear strength – 80% of solid deck slab
2. Deflections – same as solid deck
3. weight - 40% less than solid slab
4. Fire resistence – 65% of solid slab
SCOPE OF FUTURE USE
• Used for constructing all types of building
especially sky scrapers.
• Best for larger span halls like theatres and
auditoriums.
• Used in parking areas as less number of
columns are required
CONCLUSION
• concrete usage was reduced,reducing material consumption.
• It was observed that defletion of bubble deck flat slab is
higher as compared to convensional slab
• Ultimate load carrying capacity was reduced in bubble deck
flat slab by 11.22%
• Cost was reduced to 13.39% when compared with
conventional concrete
