New Nautilus: the voided
biaxial
slab
former
rev. 2012 1.1
Lightweight
reinforced
concrete slab:
The necessity of decreasing the weight of RC slabs has various reasons:
ARCHITECTURE* Obtain large spans, with fewer columns or walls; * Avoidance of drop‐beams.
ENGINEERING* Self‐weight reduction of the slab in order to:
‐
reduce its deformation
‐
reduce the weight (loads) transmitted to the foundation
‐
reduce the oscillating mass, thus the movements during an earthquake
The solution :to hollow out the slab
Voided
slabs
in reinforced
concrete
The use
of
precast
elements
has
certain
constraints:
LOGISTICS
A
flatbed
truck
must
be
used
even
for
small
quantities
or
single
parts.
This
may
cause difficult
access
to
jobsites
in
city centres
and with
heavy
trafic
Precast
slabs
occupy
a
lot
of
space
on
site.
A
crane
is
mandatory
for
placing.
In case of
polystyrene
void
formers
the
precast
parts
must
be
protected
from
rain.
USE The
precast
parts
are
handled
with
some difficulty
above
the fourth
floor.Drop‐beams
are often
required.

The advantages
of
the new
Nautilus void
former
are numerous:
TWO‐WAY
STRUCTURE:
a
two‐way
slab
will
distribute
loads
on
4
sides
(instead
of
2
for
one‐way
slabs),
reducing
the
maximum
loads
on
beams
or
mushroom
posts.
LIGHT:
the
concrete
not
essential
for
the
structure
is
eliminated.
The
self‐weight
of
the
slab
is
limited,
reducing
the
loads
transferred
to
the
foundation;
deformation
of
the structure
is
reduced.
FLEXIBLE:
it
will
allow
to
eliminate
drop‐beams
and
create
flat‐soffit
slabs
without
interruptions
of
large
surface.
Advantages
QUAKE
RESISTANT:
the
voids
reduce
the
self‐weight
of
the slab, reducing
the seismic
mass.
LARGE
SPANS: larger
spans
between
columns
are
possible.
The
number
of
columns
is
reduced,
the
result
are archutecturally
more manageable
volumes.
COST‐EFFECTIVE:
a
slab
with
new
Nautilus
with
the
same
static
and
seismic
characteristics
consume
a
smaller
amount
of
concrete
and
steel than
the full‐concrete equivalent
slab:
‐
up to
35% slab
weight
reduction
‐
up to
50% fewer
columns
‐
combined
saving

10% cost

The
new
Nautilus
void
formers
are
available
in
various
heights,
all

520x520
mm
in

which
determin
the thickness
of
the lower
slab, and are available
in height
between
o and 100 mm.

Installation
of
the new
Nautilus void
formers
is
very
simple
and fast:
1.
The
new
Nautilus
void
formers
don’t
have
an
orientation.
Installation
is
fast
and does
not
require
any
special
care or attention.
2.
The
spacer
strip
makes
spacing
control
between
void
formers
simple
and
accurate.
3. It
is
possible
to
tread
on
the
new
Nautilus
void
formers.
This
keeps
the
laying
of
the upper slab
armature really
simple.
Installation
The new
Nautilus caissons
resist
up to
1500 N
pressure
on an
80x80 mm footprint
for
safe
job‐
site application.
INSTALLATION
1. Prepare
a slab
formwork; lay
the welded
mesh
on spacers.
2.
Install
the new
NAUTILUS void
formers, spacing
between
caissons
as
per drawing. Use
the spacer
strip to
check
correct
distance.
Steps
1-2
3. Install
all
required
extra
reinforcement
(shear‐
and
moment‐reinforcement);
lay
the
upper
slab
welded
mesh.
4. First pouring
phase: pour concrete to
fill
the lower
slab, starting
from
the ribbing, up to
the lower
side of
the new
Nautilus void
formers. Vibrate the concrete immediately.

phase:
after
completion
of
the
first
pour
phase,
when

has

some strenght, fill
the ribbings
and complete the top slab
as
required
by
the project.

The new
NAUTILUS caissons
create voids
in a RC slab
poured
in situ.The condition
in shich
the new
Nautilus void
former
gives
the most
advantage
is
in a two‐way
slab
configuration.
In
order
to
have
a
two‐way
behaviour
the
ratio
between
the
sides
of
the
slab
must
be
between
1.7
and
1:
beyond
this
ratio
the
behaviour
will
become
one‐way,
and
other
methods
to
reduce slab weight may be more advantageous.
SLAB THICKNESSThe
first
step
in
the
study
of
a
full
concrete
slab
is
to
formulate
an
hypothesis
of
the
indicative thickness. This
thickness
depends
from
the
type
of
structure
being
studied:
Slab
on columns
d = L / 25
Slab
on beams
d = L / 30
Waffle
slab
on columns
d = L / 20
STUDY
Calculation
Once the hypothesis
of
the minimum slab
thickness
has
been
formulated, the voided
slab
with
equivalent
charactesistics
of
resistance
and deformation
must
be
identified.
A full concrete and a voided
slab
are compared
based
on their
inertia.
The inertia
of
the full concrete slab
must
be
calculated, and compared
with
the voided
slab
solution.

The inertia
of
the voided

is
calculated
according
to
the span
of
the void
formers.Based
on the inertia
values
of
the voided
section
is
is
possible
to
calculate
the thickness
of
the slab, and
consequently
choose
the size
of
dimensions

between
a full concrete slab
and an

The
thickness
of
a

is
slightly
greater
that

the

Once the thickness
of
the voided
slab
has
been
established
it
is
possible
to
calculate
the steel
reinforcement.Loads
will
be
divided
in two
directions: this
can be
calculated
with
the Grashof
formulae.

The reinforcement
of
a voided
slab
with
new
Nautils
is
typically
composed
by:
‐ a welded mesh in the lower
slab, with
spacers
to
assure
the required
concrete cover;
‐ additional
reinforcement
(bars
or grids);
‐
a welded
mesh
in the upper slab, laid
directly
on the void
formers
(which
include ribbing
on
their
upper surface
that
serve as
spacers).
STUDY
Reinforcement
Example
of
additional
reinforcement
between
the two
welded
meshes.
In the case of
a slab
and beam
system there
are typically
rather
high values
of
shear
stress and
negative moment.To
manage
these
stresses
is
possible
to
use
void
formers
of
lower
height
close
to
the supports
in order
to
increas
the resistant
section.

In the case of
a voided
slab
without
beams
it
will
be
necessary
to
create
a
full concrete
zone
around
the top of
the columns
(“mushrooms”).
The
armature
must
be
properly
calculated
in
order
to
manage
shear‐stress
and
negative
moment.
