Stiffened raft slabs
Slab footings consist of concrete beams and floors across the entire floor plan. Slabs are also referred to as slab floors, slab on ground or raft slabs. Slab is the general term used to refer to any of the available types of slabs.
The stiffened raft slab is the simplest and most common slab construction available. The stiffened raft configuration can be used on all classes of sites (except problem sites - Class P).
Stiffened raft slabs consist of:
- 100 mm thick concrete slab
- edge beams
- internal beams (except Class A and Class S sites)
- steel reinforcement.
The concrete is poured in one operation.
