Today we talk about forgings of honeycomb plates. Last week we talked about foundation. The use of prestressed hollow core slabs or hollow core slabs has become popular over time. The possibility of covering large spans and doing so with a guaranteed, reliable and very versatile product are the keys to its success. A few years ago its use was restricted to large buildings, today it is very normal in any type of building. In Modular Home We use hollow core slabs to cover the lights of our homes, your homes.
What is a forged?
A floor in construction is a structural element, it can be horizontal in the case of building floors or inclined, if it is used to form roofs. This structural element supports its own weight and that of use overloads. The loads they support are transmitted to the ground with the collaboration of the vertical structural elements and the foundation. The slabs connect with the pillars or vertical elements of the structure. They provide rigidity to the entire building.
Types of forgings
According to the way of transmitting the loads we are talking about, there are two major classifications of floors. Unidirectional slabs and bidirectional slabs. The former bend mainly, but not only, in one direction. They are supported by linear elements, whether beams or load-bearing walls. We said that they do not bend only in one direction because they can have some transverse bending, although it is generally minimal compared to the main one. The seconds flex in both directions. Thus, its supports can be both linear and punctual.

Hollow core slab forgings
The hollow core slab forging falls into the group of unidirectional forgings. At the same time in a sub-division that is that of self-supporting slabs. Self-supporting structural elements have the quality of supporting the same loads with a smaller section, that is, with less depth. This influences at the same time to cover greater spans between supports, without the need to grow in depth. Thus, the hollow core slab slab is a self-supporting unidirectional slab. We cover large spans with greater use overloads and minor slab edges. All advantages.
The advantages of hollow core slab slabs
It seems more than evident that the main advantage of this type of slabs is to cover large spans. Cover them without needing to increase the depth of the slab and at the same time be able to withstand higher loads. Being prefabricated elements we ensure that the quality of the materials is defined by the needs of the project. We save assembly time. It is not necessary to shore up the slabs. The concreting activities so common and frequent in traditional construction sites are reduced to a minimum. Saving concrete and reducing the labor required for these functions. The placement of the alveolar plates allows us to use them immediately, which facilitates all work operations in that area. The lower finish of the honeycomb slabs is of high quality, it can even be painted directly and used as a ceiling.

Modular Home, prefabricated houses
The prefabricated houses of Modular Home They are based on solid structures. Solid structures that do not detract one bit from the benefits of the home. Quite the opposite, these solid structures offer us enough light to achieve unique homes. Contact us by phone: 902 10 70 56 or if you prefer, in the following contact form.
