Typical Span: 3 – 4 meters

Jackbilt ribbed slabs and half slabs are proven time-savers and cost-cutters. The concrete upstands of ribbed slabs and the metal dowels of half slabs serve similar functions – they facilitate handling and installation and serve as positive ties between the slabs and concrete topping.

Only 1 shoring needed for every 3 meter span.

Ribbed and half slabs are directly paintable.
No need for drop ceilings.

Typical Applications

Townhouses
Commercial Buildings
Hospitals

CONCRETE TOPPING
To produce a flat surface and solid slab section, provide concrete topping with a minimum strength @ 28 days, f’c, = 21 MPa (3,000 psi) in space between ribs.
To increase capacity of the ribbed slab, provide additional structural topping with a minimum strength @ 28 days, f’c, = 21 MPa (3,000 psi) of 50 mm from the top of rib.
Wire mesh reinforcement: 6 mm diameter at 150 mm o.c.
