In tower buildings, weight-saving at every floor reduces load on foundations, The fact of avoiding beams being out of the slab thickness, enables the reduction of height for each floor ‘Therefore, a higher number of floors can be built By using U-boot Beton, itis possible to build thick raft foundations with a reduced ‘quantity of concrete (and weight). U-boot is the ideal solution to create slabs of big spans and/or with a high bearing capacity. in case of dificult access to the building site or restructuring, U-boot beton permits to build up the horizontal structures without using liting and movement devices, because ofits stackabilly, modularity, lightness and manageability. hitts:ihvew.seminarsonly.comiCivl_ Engineoringlu-ooot-sominar-ppt.php ar 4115123, 9:22 AM U-boot | Seminar Report, PPT, POF for Civil Engineering The study includes the results of an extensive experimental program conducted at the Polytechnic of Milan, which highlight the ‘excellent bidirectional response of voided slabs and the efficient performance in the presence of seismic actions. The experimental results here presented are supported by advanced numerical models, Posing B.TECH @ PES UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS CLOSING SOON Tho U-boot system particularly fits structures that need significant open spaces, like bureaus.industrial and commercial buildings, and civil constructions as well. The system also allows a more irregular distribution of pillars, since beams are not necessary U-boot beton formwork is an easy to use product. First, a flat and complete surface has to be prepared with a wooden deck or any ‘ther similar system. Then, the inferior steel reinforcement hasto be posed in the two orthogonal directions, as designed in the ‘executive project; the lattices are finaly posed in order to space out upper reinforcements SPAN DISTANCES BETWEEN U-BOOT BETONS Afterwards, U-boots are laid down and connected by lateral flaps, respecting the required span between the lightening space. Thanks to the cone shaped feet, U-boots are raised above the slab intrados, and the concrete can thus be cast, filing the whole surface below the elements. If double elements are to be used (H32, H36, H40, Had, H48), it will be necessary to pre-emplively assemble the two pars, that willbe delivered in different pallets atthe building site Closing Plate The reinforcement pose is to be completed by disposing the upper bending steel bars in two directions, the shear and punching reinforcement, where necessary. Due to the floating pressure exerted on U-boots, the concrete should be cast in two different phases: the first casting has to fla thickness equal tothe feet height, ‘The final phase has to be done when the first concrete layer starts to set and becomes semi-solid.

While the casting proceeds, the conerete ses, Finally the casting has to be leveled up in a traditional way (picture 6). The U-boot system execution time wil be accelerated by using new deck technologies which permit to disassemble within 2-4 days, or using the carpet reinforcement system, inorder to reduce the steel bars posing ime up to 46 times U-boot slabs do not need beams between pillars, a perimeter edge beam is enough. The orthogonal grid of beams transfers all stresses directly on pillars; around which itis enough to leave a massive area, called mushroom pillar, which Is thick as the slab and variable in function of shear stresses ‘Among foundation different typologies, raft foundation is surely one of the most known and used, considering its evident technical advantages: high stifness due to its static bidirectional behaviour, and thus load partition capacity on the ground; it also permits to absorb stresses coming from the building, with ditferential subsidences close to zero; easy and quick to cary out. If stresses increase or the ground bearing capacity decreases, the structure may requife a thick raft foundation. This means having more concrete and more pressure on the ground; and therefore higher building costs. U-boot beton is a formwork made of recycled polypropylene, purposely designed to build lightened plate slabs and raft foundations. Once drowned into concrete it creates an alveolar structure with two slabs of different thickness, joined by an orthogonal grd of beams of variable Width, therefore building an ideal ight structure for raft foundations. Statically, it can be seen as a grid of | beams which means having a ralionalized masses distribution for the purpase of inertia, in order to get high stiffness with a minimum quantity of concrete, This perfect combination of lightness and stifness permits, in particular cases, to avoid using foundation ples. Polystyrene is a widely used material in the world of building, especially i associated to prefabricated slabs, because itis cheap and malleable. However, in the last few years, the technicalscientific community has been focusing on its numerous disadvantages. First ‘ofall the fact that polystyrene releases toxic styrene monomers, at room temperature. Moreover, some studies cartied out by the Polytechnic University of Milan highlight the fact that a slab lightened by means of polystyrene explodes after only 20 minutes, i exposed to fire load. This is partially due to the presence of warm air into the cavities, Which increases pressure, and partially due to styrene sublimation. That is the second problem. In order to avoid slabs explosions, prefabricated slabs producers recently planned some vents into the slab to maintain external pressure into cavities. But in this case, the styrene flows out from the cavity, and itis toxic. On the contrary, U-boot is made of polypropylene which is not toxic even if it bums. Moreover, the CSI laboratories carried out a fire test on a slab lightened by means of U-boot and with a 3 em concrete cover, and the structure was certified REI 180 minutes. The certification is available on request. Finally, polystyrene is a material which needs huge volumes for transportation and stock on site; U-boot beton is designed to be stackable. Correct positioning of the U-Boot Beton is guaranteed by an effective rigid spacer joint with graduated scale with which the desired width of the beams is quickly determined, The joint fits into the top of the formwork inside notches housing the fxing elements. ‘The rigid interconnection ensures perfect geometric compliance with the design as well as with the bearing capacity of the {formwarks when casting under the pressure of the concrete, the weight of the operators and equipment.

The use of U-boot beton formwork makes it possible to create mushroom pillars, with the possibiliy to have the mushroom in the thickness of the slab. ‘Thanks to the conic elevator foot, immerging the U-boot beton formworks in the concrete casting will create a grid work of mutually perpendicular beams closed from the bottom and the top by a flat plate that Is created with a single casting; this results in considerable reduction in the use of concrete and steel U-Boot Betonis used to create slabs with large span or that are able to support large loads without beams. Light and quick and easy to position, thanks to their modularity the designer can vary the geometric parameters as needed to adapt to all situations with great architectural freedom, Advantages LIGHT - THIN — BIDIRECTIONAL: Designed or bidirectional slabs , Decrease of concrete and weight up to 40% Reduced deformation (maximum stifiness loss 15%) Reduction of lad on foundations , Reduction of pillar section FLEXIBLE: ‘Spans up to 20 m, Absence of beams between pilla's, Reduction of pillars number, Possible use with prefabricated slabs, No ling and movement devices required, ideal for restructuring, Possible creation of monodirectional slabs thanks to the “bridge” accessory ANTISEISMIC.
