A hollow core slab is a precast prestressed concrete member with continuous voids provided to reduce weight and

cost. They are primarily used as a floor deck system in residential and commercial buildings as well as in parking structures

because they are economical, have good fire resistance and sound insulation properties, and are capable of spanning long

distances with relatively small depths. Structurally, a hollow core slab provides the efficiency of a prestressed member for

capacity, span range, and deflection control. Hollow core slabs can make use of prestressing strands, which allow slabs with

depths between 150 and 260 mm to span over 9 meters. When used in buildings, several hollow core slabs are placed next to

each other to form a continuous floor system. The small gap that is left between each slab is usually filled with a non

grout. To give the floor a smooth finished surface, a topping slab overlay, typically 5cm deep is poured on the top surface o

hollow core slabs. The design concepts, manufacture and the erection techniques of Hollow core slabs are discussed in detail.

A concrete slab may be prefabricated or on

site. Prefabricated concrete slabs are built in a factory

and transported to the site, ready to be lowered into

place between steel or concrete beams. They may be

pre-stressed (in the factory), post-stressed (on site), or

unstressed. It is vital that the wall supporting structure

is built to the correct dimensions, or the slabs may not

The floors made of cellular concrete are multi

long lasting material for floors with its water resistance,

sound and thermo-insulation qualities and lightweight.

Floors of CFC are free of harmful to man's health

components. They are second after wood in hygienic

properties. They are heat and fire resistant and at 1000

Grad С they last quite long and do not produce harmfu

gases. Floors of Cellular Fibro Concrete are easily

CONCLUSION

The analytical investigation presented in this

paper is intended to provide a better understanding of

the concentric load behaviour of ductile and nominally

ductile structures. The ductile frame performed very

well under pushover loading. This was due to weak

beam- strong column considerations. The response

showed that the capacity design philosophy and

ductility level as applied in current Canadian standards

are effective. The nominally ductile frame was stronger

than the ductile frame due to larger member sizes, but

the results showed lower ductility capacity.
