Solid slabs are used as structural deck components similar to hollow-core slabs. They are cast in individual forms with conventional reinforcing bars under ideal conditions, and contains the stiff reinforcement that is required to give stiffness once installed, as well as the flexural tension reinforcement, lengthways and crossways, that is required for final assembly. Sizes can vary to satisfy the structural requirements.
Finishes:
The form side (bottom) is smooth as cast and typically will remain that way in the finished construction. When it is an exposed surface, it can remain as is or painted without additional treatment. The top side is troweled to the desired degree of smoothness or may be intentionally roughened to receive a cast-in-place concrete topping that will act compositely and provide additional strength.
*In special cases we can override these dimensions.
