Types of Concrete Floor Slabs: Concrete slab construction have unique features and benefits.
Slab On-Ground
A slab-on-ground is a standard concrete floor slab typically constructed on a prepared surface of the soil or crushed rock. The slab edge insulation helps to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency. There are two variants of slab-on-ground: Conventional Slabs and Waffle Pod Slabs. Conventional slabs are typically thicker and heavier, while Waffle Pod Slabs have a grid-like structure that uses less concrete and is more environmentally friendly.
Suspended Slab
Suspended slabs are constructed above ground level and are supported by columns or walls. They are commonly used in multi-story buildings, where the weigslab’s weight is too heavy for a slab-on-ground construction. Suspended slabs are formed and poured in situ with either removable or permanent formwork.
Precast Slab (Mix of both)
Precast floor slabs are manufactured offsite and transported to the construction site. They can be either finished or partially completed, with additional concrete poured to fix the slab. Precast slabs are usually used for industrial or commercial buildings, where the speed of construction is a priority.
Benefits of Concrete Slabs
Concrete floor slabs offer several benefits, including thermal comfort and durability.
Concrete slabs provide excellent thermal comfort, making them useful in most climates. In winter, concrete slabs absorb heat from the sun and radiate it for many hours, maintaining a comfortable temperature inside. In summer, slabs must be protected from direct sunlight and exposed to cooling night breezes to collect heat during the day.
Concrete slabs are durable and long-lasting when designed and placed correctly. They can withstand heavy loads and resist wear and tear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as driveways and concrete paving.
