The top surface ofthe HCS slab is normally prepared for a levelling screed (structural or non-structural) as beeing for Noor finishing, The underside surface of the HCS slab can be Used as a finished ceiling as installed by applying, painting system. Holes and openings can be arranged in accordance with instructions later inthis folder. A Hollow Core slab (HICS) is a precast presiressed concrete member with continous voids provided to reduce weight and therefore cost. HCS is primarily used for Noor or reof deck systems, Day cast or extrusion system is used as manufacturing method for HCS slab, The cores are formed hy augers with the concrete being compacted around the cores. Hollow Core slabs are cast in a continous length of about 100m. after hardening, the slabs are ut into accurate length according to design reauitements. This is made by a special cutting machine using a diamond sawing blade,CS slabs are most widely known for providing ‘economical and efficient floor and roof systems, Structurally, HCS slabs provide the effeciency of prestiessed members concerning load capacity, span J deflection control. In adaltion, by connecting the slabs with joint reinforcement, the floor ean be arranged 25 a diaphragm, distributing lateral forces for stability purpose. Excellent fire resistance Is another attribute of the LCS slabs. This is achieved by using sufficient slab thickness and concrete cover for strands Used as floor-celling assemblies, HCS slabs have the ‘excellent sound transmission characteristics associated with concrete ‘The fast and convenient installation of HCS slabs ‘minimizes the execution period at the site and enables ‘early start of finishing and ether works to followRANGE OF SPAN The table below shows the normal range of span for each size of HC slabs.

DESIGN Aloor consisting of hollow cere slabs can be designed to provide a rigid and homogenous part of the sructure (diaphragm). This (diaphragm) can be used ay part of the stabilizing system and is achived by arranging the joint reinforcement to tie the slabs together. Nowmally theres no need for structural scred for stability purpose. This design ts done by the party who Is responsfle for the general stabiliy of the building Each single element Is designed to carry loads accoiding to specifications. This ts normally done by AlRashid- Abetong design department. there Is a need for structural screed to act together with the stab for vertical load bearing this will be advised by AlRashid-Abetong designer ‘Topping for levelling purpose is needed to level the slab considering camber and other irregularities.

Also ensure that ‘rection can be completed without interupption. LIFTING Lifting can be done by iting clamps or by hooks cast into the slabs inthe factory. When lifting with clamps, lifting beam or speader beam must be used to ensure only vertical lifting in clamps (see figure below) Lifting clamps shall be placed close to the ends of the stab according to fig below. Only one slab to be lifted simultaneously! Msi stone when ogi 0.50 Posie conilerer to ene of damp whe tings 1m INSTALLATION Hollow core stabs are installed either on beams or on walls. The supporting beam or wall should be straight, smooth and even in order to install the slab directly concrete without rubber strip or other support material The support width should be minimum as per reauirement given foreach different sizeof slab (see specifications inthis folder) It needs also toe considered that the fabrication tolerance for length of sb is 4/-0.5inch (4/-13mm), 1 the support length ts less than given In this folder AlRashid-Abetong design department should be contacted for advice, ARI 7‘The standard hollow core slab element is fabricated for 2 module width of 1200 mm. The actual width ‘of the element is 196 mm leaving a clearance of 4mm in all joints (see fig below). For correct instalation, the 1200 mm module must be masked on the supporting beam or wall before installation, This is made to ensure acontoled and uniform joint width between all elements, ova yo O, 4 in borane Joints between two cuts slabs should be minimum 30 mm in order to ast the joint propery.
