A system for walls and structural slabs is disclosed. It consists of units of
a
pre-case reinforced concrete element has a special form design, fabrication methods
and utilisation. The element has a circular section, variable lengths and flat
surface on the top and bottom sides (2). It has a sectional area of 4170
sq mm. The optimum preferred dimensions of the cross section are 64 mm high and
75 mm wide (1). The element has an optimum shape that reduces the materials
used yet provides the structural performance required. When stacked vertically
between two structural framing columns, the elements form non-load-bearing walls
system(3). The elements form structural diaphragm when horizontally laid
side by side in a butt-jointed manner, supported on both ends by means of structural
framing beams. Plain concrete topping to the necessary thickness is cast over the
diaphragm/elements, forming an integral reinforced concrete structural slab system
(4). The elements are fabricated mechanically or manually. Manual fabrication
using PCV moulds produces individual elements of various lengths. Machine fabrication
allows production of jointed elements forming slabs of various widths and lengths.
