STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS 19

COBIAX BUBBLE SLAB SYSTEM

BUBBLEDECK IS A VOIDED STRUCTURAL SLAB DESIGN THAT USES RECYCLED PLASTIC SPHERES SANDWICHED BETWEEN LAYERS OF REINFORCING STEEL LATTICE TO INTRODUCE “VOIDS” INTO THE TWO-WAY SLAB. THE VAB BUBBLE DECK CONSISTS OF HUNDREDS OF EMPTY, BUT WATERTIGHT, PLASTIC BALLS — OR THE PREFERRED TERM, “VOIDS” — 7.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND SANDWICHED BETWEEN LAYERS OF CRISSCROSSING REBAR. ALL OF IT WAS BURIED IN 12.5 INCHES OF CONCRETE, ALONG WITH THE UPONOR WIRSBO HEPEX.

IV STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

ALL THOSE SPHERICAL VOIDS ALLOW FOR LESS CONCRETE TO BE POURED WITHOUT LESSENING THE THICKNESS OR SACRIFICING THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE SLAB ITSELF. LESS CONCRETE MEANS A SMALLER LOAD, WHICH IN TURN PERMITS WEIGHT-BEARING COLUMN SPACING TO BE FAR WIDER — A CRITICAL NEED INSIDE THE EXPANSIVE ATRIUM. REDUCED OVERALL COST FOR THE OWNER FASTER CONSTRUCTION LOWER RISK COMPATIBILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

20

COBIAX BUBBLE SLAB SYSTEM • ARCHITECTURAL FREE LAYOUT PLANNING.

IV STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

• SPANS REACHING UP TO 20 M • FLAT SLAB SOFFIT. • REDUCTION UP TO 40% IN COLUMNS. • UP TO 20% LESS EARTHQUAKE DESIGN LOAD. • EASY AND FAST ELECTROMECHANICAL IMPLEMENTATION. • NO FUTURE MAINTENANCE NEEDED. • IMPROVED FIRE RESISTANCE AND ACOUSTIC INSULATION.
