Solutions In Common System Applications
See for yourself, in the brief descriptions below, the many benefits of using Cobiax® technology. In these illustrations, we compare solid reinforced concrete slabs and Cobiax® reinforced concrete slabs. You’ll immediately notice several considerable differences.
Reduced vertical loads reduce column and foundation sizes and earthquake reinforcing.
Flat plate design minimizes costly/time-consuming vertical formwork, a major cost component.
Reduce weight up to 35% from that typical with solid slabs.
Expect up to 15% less load on building foundations.
Gain design freedom from greater floor planning flexibility.
Longer spans with reduced deflection
Achieve up to 65 ft span length with post-tensioning.
Require fewer columns.
Resource efficiency through reduced concrete and reinforcement throughout.
When voided concrete slabs and post-tensioning team up, the required post-tensioning is 25% less than for solid slabs.
Lower floor-to-floor heights reduce vertical costs.
Achieve more effective retrofitting.
Do More With Less.
