                 Cobiax Technology is based on generating specific hollows inside a reinforced concrete slab. Massive concrete is replaced by synthetic void formers and remains only in statically relevant areas. Thus, it is possible to construct buildings with flat slabs while allowing for remarkable span width.

    Brief Introduction
    Cobiax Technology is based on generating specific hollows inside a reinforced concrete slab. It is actually optimizing the use of concrete in slabs.In buildings concrete has the biggest mass and volume, therefore the reduction of this  material proves to be particularly effective. In this first a bottom reinforcement is placed on the form work followed by air filled bubbles called void formers before placing of concrete, a proper strategic arrangement of placing the void formers has to be worked out in advance. An analogy can be drawn from the cardboard sheets which economize the use of material and still maintain the shape. 
       Image displays cardboard having air gaps in between, the middle layer helps maintain the form of the frame

    Cobiax Technology is based on generating specific hollows inside a reinforced concrete slab.

    The following are the merits of COBIAX Concrete Slab:-

    1) The long horrow cores (voids) can be used to run mechanical and electrial equipment.

    2) The long span capabilities in hollow-core slab provides long and clear spans, opening interior spaces in projects and allows designers to maximize functional layouts.

    3) The high-strength hollow-core slabs can provide floors that support heavy loads.

    4) Buildings (esp. tall buildings) that use hollow-core slabs have less vibrations than conventional allow, along with a strong acoustical performance.

    5) Hollow-core slabs are most helpful in meeting the requirement of separating parking and other functional areas of the mixed-usage facility.

    6)  Cantilevered hollow-core slabs can provide monolithic balconies that are secure and quick to construct.

    7) Hollow-core slabs act as a ceiling and flooring unit and reduces the building height while saving the cost.

    8 ) The ducts in the Hollow-core slabs can save material and time by eliminating ductwork.

    9) The Hollow-core slab can also be used as vertical or horizontal wall panels.

    According to what i know about cobiax concrete slab is that it is a hollow concrete which we use to provide void in an unloaded area as to prevent the wastage of concrete ingredient i.e this concrete are align in a proper line only wherever the load will be acting. And the molecules which are present here are very compactly pack . The merit  of it is that it reduce the transportation time i.e instead of using 7 truck to filled a particular area it need only  a single truck to fill an area but with  a strong foundation to bear the upcoming load on it. It also reduce the usage of huge quantity of concrete.
