Ribbed slabs are made up of wide band beams running

between columns with narrow ribs spanning the

orthogonal direction. Normally the ribs and the beams
are the same depth. A thin topping slab completes the
system. Waffle slabs tend to be deeper than the
equivalent ribbed slab

A filler slab is an alternative panel construction technique where
a portion of the concrete at the bottom of the slab is replaced
with filler material. Filler slab technology is a cost-effective
technique that reduces the dead weight of panels by replacing
concrete with filler material
