GENERAL
Voided slab are characterized by presences of voids within the slab their
function being to reduce the volume of concrete and thereby self-weight
of the structure. The voids are generally cylindrically shaped and
constructed using hollow thin walled steel/any appropriate material light
weight section placed within the slab.
Void formers are subjected to large buoyancy forces when the concrete is
cast, therefore these forces must be resisted by straps tied to the bearers
below the formwork. It is also essential that the arrangement be properly
designed and that the formers be sufficiently rigid, sealed and tied down
before casting the concrete to avoid any intrusion of concrete within the
formers.
