3. Lift slab construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_slab_construction

   Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the work to be completed at ground level, negating the ...

4. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

   A corrugated slab is designed when the concrete is poured into a corrugated steel tray, more commonly called decking. This steel tray improves strength of the slab, and prevents the slab from bending under its own weight. The corrugations run in one direction only. A ribbed slab gives considerably more strength in one direction. This is ...

6. Hollow-core slab - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-core_slab

   The precast concrete slab has tubular voids extending the full length of the slab, typically with a diameter equal to the 2/3–3/4 the thickness of the slab. This makes the slab much lighter than a massive solid concrete floor slab of equal thickness or strength. The reduced weight also lowers material and transportation costs.

7. Voided biaxial slab - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voided_biaxial_slab

   Slabs are one of the greatest consumers of concrete in many buildings, [14] so reducing the slab mass can make a relatively large difference to the environmental impact of a building's construction. Biaxial slabs may be marginally cheaper than solid slabs, partly due to the lower mass.
