Reinforced Concrete Slabs

RC slabs, reinforced concrete slabs, also known as RCC reinforced cement concrete, are used to offer structural ground level floor support, additionally reinforced steel mesh can be added for further strength.

These methods can be used as an alternative foundation to various others, yet broadly recognised as the most popular, straightforward, and resilient forms of flooring in construction when:

• Depths may possibly be a concern
• Foundation conditions change affecting the soil and ground
• Initial design phase ground and soil characteristics have been not properly checked
• When the original foundation has become a problematic
• Nearby structures that may jeopardises the already present foundations
• For new underground floor additions to be constructed
  And/or personal preference

At Pure Piling we can offer a number of slab foundation possibilities. RC slabs transfer substantial loads of weight by bending in either one or two directions, these are key structural elements, these are used to support flat surfaces by offering a top layer of protection or functioning plane surface via producing a base.

Reinforced concrete layers are positioned onto the piles, whilst being dependent on additional aspects like the ratio of the measurements such as widths, lengths, reinforced beam supports and other structural members. Next concrete is physically poured onto the slabs and then skilfully leveled, thus creating a flat, solid even base for structures such as bridge decks, roofs, floors and ceilings.

With a number of types of reinforced concrete slabs available to choose from depending on personal choice to structural design specifications and, or aesthetic characteristics. The two that are most widely known as one-way slab and two-way slab. We here at Pure Piling can examine and guide you on the best suited for your construction foundation project type.
