INTRODUCTION
3
The spherical balls, which are inserted in the middle of the flat
plate slabs, are manufactured from recycled plastic, which do
not react chemically with concrete or steel.

COBIAX BLOCK

the spherical void formers used in the Cobiax system result in
concrete web widths that not only change through the depth of
the section, but also in a horizontal direction.

VOIDED SLAB CONSTRUCTION
Voided slab systems are
constructed by two primary
methods.
A filigree method in which part
of the system is precast off site,
and a method in which the entire
system is constructed on site.
Both methods use the same three
basic components.
12
In both methods, the main component is the plastic void.
These voids are often spherical, hollow, and made of recycled
plastic.
The next main component is the steel cage. Steel
reinforcement is added to resist flexure for the slab, but a cage
of thin steel is also used to hold the voids in place, keeping
them in the centre of the slab.
13
The third main component is the concrete, which surrounds
the voids and forms the slab. The concrete ultimately
determines slab strength.

INSTALLATION
17
Concrete displacement gives rise to a buoyant force during the
concrete pouring process. Avoid buoyancy on the part of the
void formers by applying suitable measures to hold the
individual void former modules down.
This is achieved by concreting in 2 layers. When pouring the
first concrete layer, ensure that the lower longitudinal rods of
the cage modules are enclosed in accordance with the
installation plan
