    BUBBLE DECK SLAB Final

    Akhila Das
    The bubble deck slab is a biaxial hollow core slab invented in the 1990s as an alternative to solid concrete slabs. It consists of plastic spheres embedded in a steel reinforcement cage within a concrete matrix. This eliminates much of the concrete needed, reducing the structural weight and allowing for longer spans. Bubble deck slabs can be constructed on site or precast off site using plastic balls, steel reinforcement, and concrete. They provide similar load bearing capacity to solid slabs but with a 25-35% reduction in weight.

    INTRODUCTION
    Bubble Deck Slab
    Biaxial hollow core slab
    Invented by Jorgen Breuning in Denmark
    1990’s
    Eliminates concrete
    Reduces structural dead weight
    Realization of longer span

    MATERIALS
    • Plastic spheres : Spheres made from HDPE. It
    does not chemically react with concrete or
    steel.
    • Steel : Steel reinforcement of MS or HYSD in
    two forms may be used – meshed layer for
    lateral support & diagonal girders for vertical
    support of the bubbles.
    • Concrete : Standard Portland Cement with max
    aggregates of size 20mm.

    TYPES OF BUBBLE DECK
    1. Type A - Filigree Element

    CONSTRUCTION
    • Two Methods
    a. 1st Method – system is pre-cast off site
    b. 2nd Method – entire system is constructed on
    site
    • Both methods use same 3 components
    1. Plastic balls
    2. Steel Cage
    3. Concrete

    9
    • Contact between bubble and reinforcement
     Do not fit perfectly between bars.
     Moves slightly during assembly and
    compaction.

    10
    TEST PROCEDURE
    • Simply supported and loaded at single point.
    • Tested at ages of 28 days.
    • Measured mid span deflection at the end of
    each load increment.
    • At the advanced stage of loading smaller
    increments were applied until failure.

    COMPARISON
    CONVENTIONAL SLAB BUBBLE DECK SLAB
    • Reinforcement - 4 crank bar • Reinforcement mesh is
    longitudinal,4 crank bar placed on both sides of
    lateral,4 distribution bar on bubbles.
    four sides. • Diameter of bars – 6mm @
    • Diameter of bars – 8mm @ 62mm c/c spacing and 6mm
    240mm c/c spacing. @ 12mm spacing.
    • Total length – 960mm, • Only 10mm aggregate is
    straight portion 810 mm, used.

    PROPERTIES OF BUBBLE DECK
    SLAB

    17
    SHEAR RESISTANCE
    • Due to reduced concrete volume, shear
    resistance will also be reduced.
    • Shear resistance of bubble deck slab is 0.6
    times the shear resistance of solid slab.
    • Near columns – same as solid slab.

    18
    DURABILITY
    • Bubble deck slab have chamfer at inside, hence
    no direct route to air outside.
    • Less cracking compared to solid slab at same
    stress levels.
    • Possesses continuous mesh at top and bottom,
    hence ensures shrinkage restraints.

    19
    DEFLECTION
    • Deflection of bubble deck slab is 5.88% more
    than solid slab.
    • Bubble deck slab can withstand 80% of stress
    when compared with solid slab.

    20
    FIRE RESISTANCE
    • Products of combustion are relatively benign,
    certainly compared to other materials that
    would also be burning in the vicinity.
    • The Balls simply carbonize. No toxic gasses will
    be released
    • The ball would melt in prolonged fire,
    eventually char without significant or
    detectable effect.

    21
    WHY BUBBLE DECK SLAB ?
    No compromise for strength & serviceability
    Flat slab technology
    Longer spans
    Pre-fabricated & Cast in-situ

    ADVANTAGES
    • Material and weight reduction.
    • Structural requirements of columns and
    foundations are decreased.
    • Construction time can be shortened.
    • Cost is reduced.
    • Environmentally green and sustainable.
    • Cost and time saving.

    23
    CONCLUSION
    • Weight reduction is 35% compared to solid slab.
    • Volume of concrete is less (25%).
    • Concrete usage reduced up to 10 to 25% as 1Kg
    of recycled plastic replaces 100Kg of concrete.
    • Reducing material consumption made the
    construction faster and overall cost reduced by
    8-10%.
