Filler slab construction | Meenachil Builders

A filler slab, also known as a waffle slab or grid slab, is a type of reinforced concrete slab that is used in construction to reduce the weight of the slab while maintaining its strength. It consists of a grid of ribs or joists with a flat top surface, creating a series of voids or cells within the slab. These cells reduce the amount of concrete used in the slab and thus, reduce its weight.
Filler slabs are commonly used in multi-story buildings, where the weight of the structure is a major concern. They are also used in bridge construction, where the weight of the bridge must be minimized to reduce the load on the supporting columns or piers. Filler slabs offer several advantages, including reduced dead load, increased thermal insulation, and improved fire resistance.
Overall, filler slabs are an innovative solution to traditional slab construction methods, and they are becoming increasingly popular in modern construction projects.
