By adopting rcc filler slab construction compared to a rcc solid conventional slab in case where manglore tiles are used as a filler material you can save on approximately 19 of the total concrete and including the cost of filler material you can save around 5 10 of your concrete cost.
Filler slab roofs advantages.
Thus the filler slab as the roof has the following advantages.
Due to reduced concrete self weight of the slab is reduced and thus about 30 less steel is required without compromising strength of the slab.
Enhances thermal comfort inside the building due to heat resistant qualities of filler materials and the gap.
Consumes less concrete and steel due to reduced weight of slab by the introduction of a less heavy low cost filler.
Advantages of filler slab technology.
Advantages of using filler slab roof concrete required in this technology is about 20 less than conventional slab construction.
Advantages of filler slabs there is considerable saving in concrete and steel by adopting rcc filler slabs instead of conventional rcc solid slabs and approximate cost saving is rs 200 sqm.
Filler slab is alternate slab construction technology where part of concrete in bottom of slab is replaced by filler material due to reduced concrete and thus about 40 less steel is required so these fillar slab technology make huge difference between normal slab cost and fillar slab cost.
