INTRODUCTION
An Italian engineer, Roberto ll Grande, developed and patented a new system of
hollow formers, in order to decrease the transportation costs (and C02 production).
The U-Boot formwork is a medular element made of re-cycled plastic for use in
building lighter structures in reinforced concrete cast at the work-site. The biggest
advantage of U-boot is reduce the concrete quantity.
U boot system can be combined with other technologies like prefabricated slabs and
post tensioned steel The technology of hollow slabs with past tensioned steel
reduces the weight of slab and its thickness.

weight of the structure. The main aim of this paper is to give a report about punching
Lai T. (2009) : In this system, the concrete at the center of deck is removed and hence
the slab becomes very light on comparison with solid slabs. In reinforced concrete
structures, the ductility factor is important. It contains the shear walls and the flat slabs
Abramski M., Albert A., Pfeffer K., Schnell J. (2010) : The main aim of this paper is
to give a report about shear force on flat slabs with circular voids by varying percentage
of steel. This paper used two different percentages of steel i.e. 0.31% and 0.52%
