Digitally fabricated ribbed concrete floor slabs: a sustainable solution for construction
RILEM Technical Letters, 2022 The concrete used in floor slabs accounts for large greenhouse gas emissions in building construction. Solid slabs, often used today, consume much more concrete than ribbed slabs built by pioneer structural engineers like Hennebique, Arcangeli and Nervi.

International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2023 From among the several types of slabs, there is uncertainty about the most cost-effective one for structures with short, medium, and long spans. A study comparing the cost of the solid, flat, hollow block (HB), and post-tensioned (PT) slabs for 4, 6, and

Analysis of adequacy of recycling the São Paulo Metropolitan Ring Road concrete pavement as new pavement [PDF]
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e MateriaisThe west section of the Governor Mário Covas São Paulo Metropolitan Road Ring was opened to traffic in 2002. The original pavement was a jointed plain concrete pavement with dowelled joints and a design flexural strength (or modulus of rupture) of 4.5 ...

Flexural performance of precast WWCB-filled concrete floor slabs
Case Studies in Construction MaterialsWood wool cement board is made of Portland cement as a cross-linking agent, wood fiber as a fiber reinforcement material, and some additives. The precast WWCB-filled concrete floor slabs are a new type of hollow slab. This structure formed by pouring the
