Bubbledeck Technology is Filing The Slab With Beach Balls

This is a really clever solution to the problem with using of too much concrete. Bubbledeck technology fills the slab with plastic balls which are held in place in prefabricated assemblies of reinforcing. This technology was already used in Canada, and United States, at Harvey Mudd College. This is actually a biaxial technology that increases span lengths by making the floors thinner. This reducing of the weight is improving the fact of limited structural effect beyond adding weight of the area between columns.
When the concrete is poured over the balls in the panels, the BubbleDeck system becomes effective and behaves like, a monolithic two-way slab that distributes force uniformly and continuously.
