Filler slab roof construction once the shuttering is done the reinforcements are laid in grid form.
Roof filler slab.
Filler slabs are one cost effective roofing system which is based on the concrete portions and instead.
Roofing with filler slab description.
For example grid of 35cm x 50cm is used for magalore tile as filler material and grid of 45cm x 45cm is used for clay pots of 40cm diameter filler.
The mechanism the filler slab is a mechanism to replace the concrete in the tension zone.
The filler slab is based on the principle that for roofs which are simply supported the upper part of the slab is subjected to compressive forces and the lower part of the slab experience tensile forces.
The size of grid depends on structural design and size of filler material.
The filler slab is a slab construction technology in which by filler material part of concrete in the bottom of the slab is replaced and as compared to reinforced cement concrete slabs it consumes less concrete and steel.
As roofs are just covering components live loads will not act upon it.
Filler slab is based on the concrete portions and instead of placing filler material there and is one cost effective roofing system.
