Hollow Core
General Features
Dcon Hollow Core is a hollow slab system aiming to increase cross-section performance which is reinforced with the prestressed wire that can be used in residential buildings, small to large commercial buildings and industrial plants, Hollow Core has different thickness to choose from 8 cm. to 15 cm and the width is 60 cm. According to TIS 828-2546 standard, Hollow Core has its own strength that can be used to gain weight immediately without any temporary bracing. The thickness depends on length and load which can be seen in the table of Company’s Hollow Core load.
Specific Features
- Customers can lower construction costs and lighten the weight of Hollow Core because the planks are hollow. Thus, customers can save concrete and other structures including piles, foundations, columns and
- Hollow core is quick to install as it does not require temporary bracing for the construction. Hence, it is convenient to work and saves time and labor as well.
- The bottom surface of the Hollow Core is smooth so no plaster or installation of ceiling is required.
- Hollow Core has a Long span making the cross-section highly efficient and lightweight compared to other cross-sections; However, there is no reduction of the cross-sectional power and durability which allows the Hollow core use with different lengths of span up to 8 meters without deflection problems (according to the thickness of Hollow Core)
- All of the Hollow Core slabs are standard with the high efficiency manufacturing processes, extruded and pressed concrete; therefore, the slabs have a consistent shape.
- Hollow Core is strong because it is made from dry concrete (NO SLUMP CONCRETE) and is passed through the modern machinery manufacturing processes Thus, the Hollow Core is higher compressive strength and quality than the general Planks.
- Because of the Hollow Core, when laying the Hollow Core, there will be a Shear Key groove for grooving with sand mortar making it possible to distribute the load between the Hollow Core slabs
- Due to the air inside the hollow of the Hollow Core, it could greatly reduce the transmission of sound and temperature.
- Because the concrete coated with steel is sufficiently thick, Hollow Core is able to withstand the heat temperature for hours. In the case of the fire that is severe at any point, it will cause only local... Read More
