Structural Behavior of Bubble Deck Slab
Abstract: Concrete is dense, and 5% of the world’s CO2 is formed during the manufacture of the cement that goes into it. Then there is the aggregate that is dug out and the trucks that have to carry it. Not only, but the extreme amount of the concrete that is in a slab isn't even desired; it is just a spacer between the bottom, where the reinforcing steel is in tension, …
