| Structural analysis |
|
 |
The Cobiax flat slab has the same mechanical load bearing behaviour as a solid flat plate slab. |
|
|
The structural analysis of Cobiax flat slabs can be executed with conventional Finite Element software tools. |
|
|
The established codes for the structural dimensioning of traditional concrete flat plate slabs are compatible with the Cobiax flat slabs. |
|
| The presence of the void formers is taken into account trough the application of numeric adaptation factors to the following parameters: |
|
|
Slab dead-load |
|
|
Slab stiffness |
|
|
Slab shear resistance |
|
| Detailing |
|
|
The Cobiax cage modules are positioned between the bottom and top reinforcement layers in the slab’s cross section. |
|
|
Further slab inserts such as ventilation ducts, plumbing pipes, electrical installations as well concrete core thermal activation tubes can be combined with the Cobiax cage modules. |
|
|
The combination of the Cobiax technology with post-tensioning leads to interesting technical and economical solutions. |
