U-BOOT® BETON - Самонесущая опалубочная панель для плит

U-BOOT® BETON is a recycled polypropylene formwork that was designed to create lightened slabs and rafts.‎ The use of U-Boot Beton® formwork makes it possible to create mushroom pillars, with the possibility to have the mushroom in the thickness of the slab.‎ Thanks to the conic elevator foot, immerging the U-Boot Beton® formworks in the concrete casting will create a gridwork of mutually perpendicular beams closed from the bottom and the top by a flat plate that is created with a single casting; this results in considerable reduction in the use of concrete and steel.‎ U-Boot Beton® is used to create slabs with large span or that are able to support large loads without beams.‎ Light and quick and easy to position, thanks to their modularity the designer can vary the geometric parameters as needed to adapt to all situations with great architectural freedom.‎ ADVANTAGES 1.‎ INCREASED NUMBER OF FLOORS Possibility to gain floors at the same building height (towers) and building volume.‎ 2.‎ LARGE SPAN AND GREAT ARCHITECTURAL FREEDOM Larger spaces.‎ 3.‎ REDUCED SLAB THICKNESS Thinner slabs but with equal loads and clearances, or bigger clearances with an equal thickness.‎ 4.‎ NO BEAMS BETWEEN PILLARS Flat soffit for greater flexibility when installing systems.‎ 5.‎ REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF PILLARS – OPTIMISATION OF THE SECTION OF PILLARS Facilitated use reallocation.‎ Wider bays.‎ 6.‎ REDUCTION IN THE OVERALL LOAD OF THE STRUCTURE WEIGHING ON THE PILLARS AND THE FOUNDATION.‎ 7.‎ REDUCED FOUNDATIONS – LESS DEEP FOUNDATION EXCAVATION   Lower costs for foundation excavations.‎ Less excavation.‎ 8.‎ IMPROVED ACOUSTIC BEHAVIOUR Less acoustic transmittance.‎ 9.‎ POSSIBILITY OF PASSING UTILITIES IN THE THICKNESS OF THE SLAB 10.‎ FLEXIBILITY IN THE REALIZATION OF OPENINGS AFTER THE EXECUTION OF THE SLAB 11.‎ POSSIBILITY OF WIDER SPANS WITH THE U-BOOT® BETON SYSTEM – Ordinary spans of the U-Boot® Beton System (LUB) = 7-9 m – U-Boot® Beton System (LUB) maximum spans without Post-Tension up to 12-16 m – U-Boot® Beton System (LUB) maximum spans with Post-Tension > 16 m CHEAPNESS OF TWO-WAY LIGHTENED VOIDED SLABS U-BOOT® BETON SYSTEM We are incorrectly led to estimate the advantage of a slab lightened with U-Boot® Beton limiting it to a mere comparison between savings in concrete and the cost of the formwork on the level of the slabs only.‎ In this way however, as the analysis is immediate and intuitive, it does not account for the various economic, practical and operational advantages provided with U-Boot® Beton for the entire structure: less use of iron in the slabs, pillars and foundation up to a total of 15% (also in the case of variants); less concrete is used not only for the slabs but also for the columns and foundations; there are antiseismic advantages connected to reduced building weight; slimmer pillars and foundations, lower costs related to excavation for foundations; the arrangement, also irregularly if needed, of the pillars to reflect the architectural freedom of the structure.‎ Reduction of work and overhead transfer of the formworks; advantages in on-site logistics.‎ APPLICATIONS U-Boot® Beton is a recycled polypropylene formwork that was designed to create two-way voided slabs and rafts.‎ The use of U-Boot® Beton formwork makes it possible to create mushroom pillars, with the possibility to have the mushroom in the thickness of the slab.‎ Thanks to the conic elevator foot, immerging the U-Boot® Beton formworks in the concrete casting will create a gridwork of mutually perpendicular beams closed from the bottom and the top by a flat plate that is created with a single casting; this results in considerable reduction in the use of concrete and steel.‎ U-Boot® Beton is used to create slabs with large span or that are able to support large loads without beams.‎ Light and quick and easy to position, thanks to their modularity the designer can vary the geometric parameters as needed to adapt to all situations with great architectural freedom.‎ Further info from manufacturer on U-BOOT® BETON Daliform Group
