DEFINITION A hollow core slab, also known as a voided slab,
hollow core plank, or concrete plank, is a widely
used precast floor slab in multi-story apartment
buildings. Its popularity is attributed to faster
assembly, reduced weight, and cost savings in low-
seismic zones and more economical constructions.
Hollow core slabs, typically 120 to 150 meters
long, are manufactured on long line beds using
extrusion or slip forming methods. These slabs,
with a nominal width of 1200 mm, feature tubular
voids that run the length of the slab, making them
much lighter than solid concrete slabs of similar
thickness and strength. This reduces material and
transportation costs while offering excellent
load-bearing capacities and design flexibility.
DEFINITION Prestressed concrete slabs, up to 200 meters long,
are made by extruding wet concrete with
prestressed steel wire rope from a moving mold.
The continuous slab is cut to length with a large
diamond circular saw in a factory, saving time,
labor, and training.
To meet modern standards for both hollow-core
and massive slabs, you can use a soft floor
covering or a floating floor screed to dampen
footstep noise. Another option is placing rubber
strips under the floor slabs.
Extruders can create hollow-core slabs and wall
elements without prestressed steel wire, with
widths from 600 to 2400 mm, thicknesses from 150
to 500 mm, and lengths up to 24 m. The voids in the
hollow core serve as conduits for installations
and can be coated for use as ventilation ducts.
HISTORY The history of precast concrete flooring dates back to
the First World War ranges from 1914 to 1918, as the
innovations at that time have set the base for hollow-
core slab production. In 1935, the first hollow-core
slab was cast, initially using pneumatic cores. These
slabs gained popularity, especially after World War II,
during the postwar housing boom, as production
techniques evolved.

Since the 1960s, hollow-core slabs have undergone


extensive testing and research for durability, safety,
and efficiency. The 70s and 80s were particularly active
periods due to their growing popularity. Ongoing
research continues to improve these secure and safe
building components.
HISTORY
Today’s prestressed and reinforced hollow
core floor slabs are the result of a long
period of development and testing. New
variants of the hollow core slab are still
finding their way to the market.
Prestressed and reinforced hollow core
floor slabs that are used today were a
result of a long period of development and
testing.
There are historical developments that are
classified on the three production systems,
which are the wet cast, slip forming and
extrusion.
HISTORY
The idea to reduce the self-weight of
concrete slabs by putting voids in the center
of the cross-section, dates to the beginning
of the previous century. Several inventors
from different countries applied for patents
on various systems
In the early days, hollow core slabs were
manufactured either in a plant, or on site.
Often individual molds were used and
sometimes even long line beds, but in a
discontinuous way. The compaction of the
concrete was mostly carried out by tamping
the fresh concrete
WET CAST WITH PERMANENT VOID FORMERS HISTORICAL
DEVELOPMENT
The wet cast technique is used to perform cores or
void formers to realize the longitudinal voids. They
are positioned in the mold prior to the casting of the
slab.
Wilhelm Siegler (Germany, 1906) - The pioneer of using
longitudinal void formers in concrete slabs introduced a
system where cores were created using prefabricated
short molding tubes placed on scaffolding. Slabs had
varying lengths, and lateral lugs on the tube's bottom
served as molds for the webs. Reinforcement was applied
traditionally to both longitudinal and transversal webs.
During the following two decades several solutions
to form longitudinal voids in flat floor slabs were
developed.
WET CAST WITH PERMANENT VOID FORMERS HISTORICAL
DEVELOPMENT
Jules Heyneman (1930) - He patented a
precast floor slab with longitudinal voids,
using elastic steel molds held by wedges.
Removing the wedges reduced the mold's
cross-section for easy removal from the
beam hollows. The number of voids could be
adjusted. The floor units were made of
reinforced concrete, with focus on the
product rather than manufacturing details.
Longitudinal joints had indentations and
transversal reinforcing stirrups, filled on-
site with mortar.
WET CAST WITH PERMANENT VOID FORMERS HISTORICAL
DEVELOPMENT
Walter H. Cobi (1939) - He patented expandable
rubber core forms and various solutions for their
shape, number, and longitudinal joint profiles.
Charles Lethbridge (1940) - He introduced an
enhanced method using uniform steel tubes that
ran longitudinally through the entire mold,
matching the shape of the hollow core unit. After
placing reinforcement bars, concrete was poured,
and the vibrating mold was adjusted while the
core tubes were moved slightly. Once the
concrete was compacted, the tubes were removed
from the mold's end, allowing the concrete to set.
WET CAST WITH PERMANENT VOID FORMERS HISTORICAL
DEVELOPMENT
STUP Freyssinet, France (1952) - He patented
prestressed concrete hollow core
elements for building floors. These units,
designed to span entire floors without
supports, could vary in width. They had
full-length circular voids with profiled
vertical edges for load transfer.
Manufactured on long steel molds, custom
lengths were achievable using transversal
mold plates. Long rubber tubes, inflated
with liquid pressure during casting, formed
the longitudinal voids and were later
removed after concrete compaction.
HISTORICAL
SLIP FORMING (TAMPING)
DEVELOPMENT
The slip form technique is characterized by
a moving profiled mold or form into which
the concrete is poured and compacted. In
general, a higher slump concrete is used.

German Wilhelm Schäfer (1931) - He sought a


patent to enhance the production of
precast reinforced and prestressed hollow
core slabs. His innovation aimed to
streamline an existing slip form technique
by automating the production steps. Patents
for this method were granted in Germany,
the UK, the USA, and Switzerland, all in 1933.
HISTORICAL
SLIP FORMING (TAMPING)
DEVELOPMENT
These machines compact concrete using tamping
fingers, earning the method the name 'slip forming
tamping.
The American company Spancrete (1950) - They
acquired the Schäfer patent and, in the 1950s,
began producing prestressed hollow core
elements in stacked long lines. After the top slab
in a stack hardened, a diamond disk sawing machine
was used to cut and extract hollow core units.
Wilhelm Schäfer (1951) - He patented long-span
prestressed hollow core floors with unique edge
profiles featuring dovetail grooves and the
option for thermal insulation layers on the soffit.
HISTORICAL
SLIP FORMING (VIBRATING)
DEVELOPMENT
The most common way to compact concrete during
slip forming is by means of vibrations.
Wacker Brothers (1952) - They were granted a
patent inspired by a 1938 patent for manufacturing
pipelines. Their method shapes and compacts
concrete in moving molds through vibration.
Max Gessner Locham (1953) - He patented compaction
equipment for producing prestressed concrete
beams and structural elements. The 1957 patent
introduced the use of a vibrating slip form machine
on a single casting bed, a common configuration
today. West German companies Max Roth KG and
Weiler KG later expanded on Gessner's ideas.
HISTORICAL
SLIP FORMING (VIBRATING)
DEVELOPMENT
Weiler GmbH (1957) - He patented a slip form molding
machine invented by Hans Geiger, who drew inspiration
from the Wacker Brothers. Geiger's innovation allowed
for the production of prestressed single and double-T
beams and was also suitable for hollow core elements.
Max Roth, Germany (1965) - In 1957, he invented a slip
form machine for prestressed hollow core slabs and
obtained a patent for it by 1965. The company had
previously developed a slip former for T- and L-beams
in the mid-50s. This patent introduced a slip former that
pours and compacts concrete in three layers, serving
as a reference for other companies like Spiroll Corp
Ltd, SpanDeck Inc., VBI Development, and Elematic Oy AB
in their patent applications.
HISTORICAL
SLIP FORMING (VIBRATING)
DEVELOPMENT
Company Echo Belgium (1963) - They began producing
prestressed hollow core slabs using a Roth machine,
but soon developed their own production machinery. In
1990, this initiative led to the creation of Echo
Engineering, which is now part of the Progress Group
and operates under the name Echo Precast Engineering.
David Dodd (1965) - He secured a US patent for a self-
propelled extrusion-type slip form machine with a
single hopper. This innovative machine allowed for the
one-step casting of entire slabs and was designed for
use with relatively dry concrete mixes.
The Italian company Nordimpianti (1974) - They specialize
in manufacturing slip form machinery capable of
producing elements up to 1 meter in height.
EXTRUSION HISTORICAL
Extrusion involves pushing low-slump concrete with DEVELOPMENT
screws (augers) into a molding compartment to form
the desired shape. Vibration and pressure compact the
concrete, while the augers' pressure propels the
extruder forward.
Achille Gaiba (1912) - He patented a machine for
producing continuous reinforced products using
pressure alone to shape and compact plastic concrete
in a molding compartment, without additional vibration.
While he specifically mentions water pipes, the patent
is not limited to pipes.
Fresh concrete from the hopper was pushed by a
multi-bladed propeller toward the opening and into
the molding compartment. This high-pressure process
filled the mold without requiring additional vibration.
HISTORICAL
EXTRUSION DEVELOPMENT

John Murray, US (1928) - He introduced a


method of compacting concrete through
pressure, without vibration. This technique
was designed for creating continuous
conduits, particularly for underground
applications with multiple ducts for
electric cables. Four decades later,
Glenn Booth of Spiroll Corporation
referenced this document in his 1966
patent.
Extrusion with high frequency HISTORICAL
vibrators DEVELOPMENT
Ellis and Thorsteinson (1961) - They
received a patent for a machine that
extrudes hollow cored concrete
sections. This extruder was presented as
an improvement over the commonly used
processes at the time, which relied on
molds with inflatable cores.
This method involves creating
longitudinally cored concrete slabs on
an extending pallet by using an auger to
squeeze the concrete through a molding
section. Compaction is achieved using a
vibrator on top of the molding section.
Extrusion with high frequency HISTORICAL
vibrators DEVELOPMENT

Glen Booth, Spiroll Corporation Canada


(1965) - In his patent, he sought
improvements to the devices described in
the 1961 patent. These enhancements
included adding a separate vibrating
assembly to each auger. This improved
concrete flow, reduced cavities, and
resulted in a smoother, uninterrupted
outer surface for the product being
formed.
Extrusion with high frequency HISTORICAL
vibrators DEVELOPMENT
The first extruded units had a thickness
of 200 and 265 mm and a width of 1200
mm. The cores were circular, and the
slabs were in normal concrete with a
density up to about 2500 kg/m³ and a
compressive cube strength up to 60
N/mm².
TTV Finland (1969) - Elematic Engineering
Ltd. became the Finnish market leader in
Variax technology for prestressed
hollow core elements, despite increased
competition and industry changes.
Extrusion with high frequency HISTORICAL
vibrators DEVELOPMENT

In the late 1960s, extruded hollow core


slabs emerged in Sweden and gained
popularity throughout Europe, including
Finland, Norway, Denmark, Belgium,
Holland, France, Italy, Spain, and beyond.
Elematic expanded further by acquiring
Dy-Core in 1984 and Roth in 1996.
Extrusion HISTORICAL
DEVELOPMENT
with shear compaction

1984 - Elematic introduced


the quieter shear
compaction technique, using
augers and side formers for
concrete compaction instead
of noisy high-frequency
vibrators, resulting in high-
quality product profiles.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOLLOW CORE SLAB

A Hollow Core Slab is a precast slab


with running cores that reduce weight,
enhance structural efficiency, and
serve as service ducts. Ideal for fast
construction, these units have a
standard width of 120mm and depths
ranging from 110mm to 400mm. They are
typically installed between beams
using cranes and gaps filled with
screeds. These slabs can support 2.5
kN/m over a 16m span, making them
suitable for office, retail, or car park
developments.

NOTABLE
FEATURES
Hollow core slabs have minimal deformation even
with high slenderness ratios due to the transversal
load distribution and even when the elements do not
have any concrete topping. The produced elements
have high load resistances thanks to a low
water/cement ratio of concrete from 0.32 to 0.38.
NOTABLE FEATURES
LARGE PRODUCTION VOLUMES

Uniform cross sections can be


achieved with large production
volumes, even when using varying
cable reinforcement
configurations. The concrete
elements can be demolded from
the casting beds within just 6-8
hours after production.
NOTABLE FEATURES
LOWER SELF-WEIGHT

The presence of longitudinal


voids in the cross-section leads
to approx. 50% saving in
concrete compared with a plain
cast in-situ reinforced slab, and
at the same time cuts the
amount of prestressing steel by
30% because of the lower self-
weight.
NOTABLE FEATURES
ASSURED QUALITY

By using specific equipment for


the manufacture of the
concrete elements and a high-
end quality control system. The
lower surface of the element is
smooth having a steel
formwork finish. This surface
can be left as seen or can be
simply painted.
NOTABLE FEATURES
EXCELLENT LOWER SURFACE FINISHES READY TO PAINT

One of the notable features of


hollow core slabs is their
exceptional lower surface
finishes, which are prepared and
ready for painting. This feature
not only saves time and effort in
the finishing stages of
construction but also ensures a
smooth and aesthetically
pleasing surface for interior
applications.
NOTABLE FEATURES
EASY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
The ease of project implementation
provides designers with enhanced
flexibility. Hollow core slabs, which can be
manufactured up to 25 meters in length,
find extensive use across various sectors
including residential, healthcare, education,
industrial, and commercial markets, as well
as in seismic zones. Moreover, these slabs
offer the possibility of producing elements
with end openings, which can be
subsequently filled on-site in a
perpendicular orientation to the floor,
resulting in solid ends that bolster shear
resistance.
NOTABLE FEATURES
EASILY ADAPTED ON ANCILLARY BUILDING SYSTEM

Highly adaptable for integrating


with ancillary building systems,
hollow core slabs serve as an
excellent choice for accommodating
ancillary equipment like electrical
trays, water sprinkler systems, and
HVAC units. This versatility makes
them a preferred option for
seamlessly incorporating essential
infrastructure within building
structures.
NOTABLE FEATURES
HIGH DURABILITY AND LOAD RESISTANCE

Prestressing technology
ensure the long lasting and
exceptional loading. Multiple
metal wires (strands)
prestressed and cast in our
slabs giving them extreme
strength and very long
design life.
NOTABLE FEATURES
LONG SPANS WITHOUT TEMPORARY SUPPORTS

Applicable to all loads and


spans meaning that there is no
need for supports during
installation. It is possible to
load the floor immediately
after installation, even
without any in-situ concrete
casting.
NOTABLE FEATURES
GREEN PRODUCT REDUCED USE OF RAW MATERIAL

Hollow core slabs are economical with their use


of materials. One reason is that the premaster
normally uses fairly high concrete and steel
grades. Consequently the products use fewer
materials to achieve the same load bearing
capacity as cast in-situ structures.

The presence of longitudinal voids in the cross-


section leads to about 45% saving in concrete
compared with a plain in-situ cast reinforced
slab and at the same time cuts the amount of
prestressing steel by 30% because of its lower
intrinsic weight.

economically viable for
small spans, as the cost
savings are more
pronounced with larger
spans.
DISADVANTAGES
DIFFICULTY IN REPAIRS

Hollow core slabs


can be challenging
to repair and
strengthen if
damaged.
In summary, hollow core slabs
offer numerous advantages such as
weight reduction, cost savings,
load-bearing capacity, and fire
resistance, but they also come with
challenges related to handling,
connections, and equipment
requirements, especially for small-
span applications.
construction method
PREPARING FOR THE INSTALLATION OF HOLLOW-CORE SLABS
Draw up an installation plan well in
advance and agree on the order of the
delivery of the slabs. Select a lifting
device that is suitable for the site
conditions and the weight of the hollow-
core slabs.
Use personal safety equipment no matter
the weather.
Prepare a road that is sufficiently wide,
even, and stable. Check the ground bearing
capacity under the crane outrigger.
Be sure to use fall protection equipment.
Inspect the lifting device before starting
work.
Always store the hollow-core slabs on an
even, stable surface and stack them on
bottom and intermediate support timbers.
construction method
INSPECTING AND SUPPORTING HOLLOW-CORE SLABS
Compare each slab with the plan. Inspect the slab labels in
the level drawings, the supports for the installation
phase, the lifting necks, the number of strands, the
location of the deep plugs, and the slippage of the
strands.
Inspect the lifting groove and ensure that the protruding
lip at the bottom of the clamp fits into it. Do not lift a
damaged slab.
Mark the location of the slabs and set installation shims
or a neoprene bearing strip in place.
Inspect the length of the bearing surface and the level
and location of the installation shims at the web of the
slab.
Assemble the temporary supports for the work phase
according to the plans, prior to the installation of the
slabs.
Prevent the tilting over of a beam by providing support,
according to the plans, close to the end of the beam.
construction method
LIFTING A HOLLOW CORE SLAB

Place the protruding of the clamp carefully


into the groove of the slab.
Tighten and lock the safety chain when the
height of the slab is less than 100mm.
The Hollow core slabs will be installed by
using a spreader beam and lifting clamps.
Maintain eye or radio contact with the crane
operator.
Watch out for any swinging movement of the
slab and position yourself safely on the long
side of the slab.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when
selecting lifting points. The angle between the
legs of the lifting chains must be less than 60
degrees.
A slab that is shorter than three meters can
be lifted with long lifting chains without a
spreader beam.
construction method
LIFTING SPECIAL PURPOSE SLABS

Verify the amount and type of lifting clamps


that are required for heavy slabs
Always lift by using lifting loops or anchors,
if available in the slab.
Use lifting loops or anchors to lift a narrow
slab.
Do not lift a damaged slab. Contact the site
supervisor.
Slabs that are meant to be installed in a
tilted position should always be lifted by
using loops or anchors.
If narrowed end of the slabs is short, attach
the clamps 200mm from the edge of the
narrowed part of the slab.
construction method
LIFTING SPECIAL PURPOSE SLABS

Make sure that the lifting grooves of


bathroom slabs are in order.
Use lifting loops to lift small slabs.
Clamps can be used to lift reinforced
long cantilevers.
Use lifting loops to lift long
cantilever slabs.
Lift slabs with a lifting neck in the
usual manner.
Clamps can only be used to lift a
notched slab if the intact part of the
slab is at least 800mm long.
construction method
INSTALLING A HOLLOW CORE SLAB

If needed, attach a rope to the slab that is


being lifted in order to assist in directing it.
Do not detach the safety chain until the slab
is no more than 100mm above the support.
Steer the slab into place with an installation
bar. Be careful of slipperiness in the winter.
Use support in the form of welded stoppers
or by wedging a tilted slab into place when
positioning.
Level out differences in the slab camber,
according to the plans, by using supports,
adjusted bolts or installation shims.
Assemble the railings immediately.
construction method
JOINTS GROUTING AND FOLLOW-UP
Clean debris from the joints. Inspect the void
plugs and carry out formwork for the joints.
Reinforce the joints and install an electrical
conduit according to the plans.
Carry out the joint grouting and seal
carefully.
Remove any excess grout. Also clean the
soffit of the slab. Carry out protection and
curing according to the conditions.
Inspect and open drainage holes after joint
grouting. Drill more holes if necessary.
Notch the lifting neck off only after the
joint grouting has been set. Block and cover
the area from below.
