Infill Slab Floor

Assemble and erect formwork for slab2.

Infill slab floor.

Build up level with builders sand to allow for 100mm thk slab trench on open end near joists to thicken the slab. Lay the hydronic heating system in place. Polish the top layer of decorative concrete. The slab ribs are formed on top of the ground using a grid of polystyrene void forms.

These slabs can be suspended on the original subfloor walls and footings or if the old floor is close to the ground they can be an infill slab on fill. Finish pouring the infill slab over the top. As such we provide full service concrete flooring from pouring to polishing we offer a complete four step process. Most advantage is gained if passive design principles are followed see passive solar heating.

Slab on ground sog or sog a concrete floor supported on the ground and incorporating integral internal and edge beams. Infill slabs are simply poured between existing walls so no formwork is required. 300x300 trench form up doorway entry and open end layout reo mesh. The masonry wall and concrete slab must be separated from one another because they shrink or expand at different rates.

Slab infill slab a slab cast on the ground between walls. The walls are generally of masonry supported on strip footings. The construction is ideally suited to very reactive clay sites. Voids can lead to a weakness in the slab causing dips in the surface tilting or cracks and breaks.

Prepare and place reinforcement for slab3. In addition to the beam and block infill specification consideration must also be given to the floor finish. Concrete slabs can develop voids from a variety of reasons ranging from sliding soil beneath the slab displaced because of a lack of proper compression to water erosion slowly washing away the soil over time. Contents concrete floor slab construction process1.

They require no external or internal stiffening beams and are typically used in garage floors where the walls are masonry. It does not have the problems associated with stiffened raft slabs which have their beams embedded in the reactive clays. The term is used to refer collectively to stiffened rafts footing slabs and waffle rafts. See photo below for layout.
