Cast in Place and Precast

This document summarizes and compares different types of floor and roof slab systems for buildings, including flat slab, flat plate, lift slab, precast, span stress floor, and slip form construction methods. It also briefly discusses window types, wall types, and ribbed panels. The key aspects are that flat slabs use drop panels over supports to increase strength and span, flat plates have a uniform thickness, lift slabs are cast and then jacked up to save on forms, and slip forming involves continuously pouring and moving forms to construct tall structures efficiently.

FLOOR SYSTEM AND ROOF SLAB SYSTEM

FLAT SLAB FLAT PLATE

CAST-IN PLACE A flat slab is a one-way or two-way system with thickenings in the
slab at the columns and load bearing walls called ‘drop panels. Drop
A flat plate is a one- or two-way system usually supported
directly on columns or load-bearing walls. It is one of the
most common forms of construction of floors in buildings.
Cast-in Place (CIP) concrete walls and slabs are made with panels act as T-beams over the supports. They increase the shear
The principal feature of the flat plate floor is a uniform or
ready-mix concrete placed into removable forms (wooden capacity and the stiffness of the floor system under vertical loads, near-uniform thickness with a flat soffit which requires only
partitions) erected on site. Historically, this has been one of thus increasing the economical span range . simple formwork and is easy to construct.

same techniques used below grade can be repeated with
above-grade walls to form the first floor and upper levels of
homes.

LIFT SLAB SLIP FORM METHOD


Lift slab construction is a method of constructing concrete buildings Slip forming, continuous poured, continuously formed, or
by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then slipform construction is a construction method in which

buildings, and dams), as well as horizontal structures, such as
