Abstract

Conventional reinforced concrete slab system is common practices in residential and commercial building construction. However few drawbacks in these slab systems observed with respect to material requirement which may lead to uneconomical construction. Structural floors/roofs accounts for considerable expenditure of building construction in normal condition. In regular reinforced concrete slab has two basic drawbacks. i.e. a typical 125 mm thick slab weighs 2.94 kN/m2. This is to be designed to carry live load 1.96 kN/m2. This is capable to resist a design load of 4.90 kN/m2 and self-weight of the slab is considered 60 % as a result 40 % is considered as structural efficiency of the RCC slab. The concrete is week tension Zone as a result it is not taking any stresses. Keeping in view the above two facts it is proposed to investigate alternate roofing system. This research study focused on casting cost effective slab system with combination of slender beam and precast RC panels.
