Ribbed Slabs & Half Slabs
Proven time-savers and cost-cutters.

Half Slab
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.
No need for drop ceilings.
Typical Applications
Speed, Ease, Efficiency.
Jackbilt half slabs speed up construction. No need to set up and dismantle formworks, shoring, and scaffolds.

| 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. |
