DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

CORCON is a hybrid moltiribbed slab +beam system using the best properties of a slab
coupled with all the advantages of the beam used to stiffen the slab in deflection.
CORCON is a flexible system that can be applied to any span and loading
configuration by the use of inserts which can be used to vary the depth of the CORCON
rib beams - from a nominal 50 m2 depression to 300 m2 deep for extra heavy loads and or
long Spam over 8 to 9m. Also by reducing the (c to c) centre to centre spacing from 1200
m2 and continuity the spam can be increased to 26m using post-tensioning.
Small spans - say 3m- use CORCON with "FLAT" insert mould (see the Figure below):

If require structural primary beams could always use upstand beams subject to
requirements. (see the Figure below):

This upstand systems allows continuous layting of CORCON ribs.
