Everything You Need To Know About U-Boot Beton technology

The evolution in the technology has created many advantages, especially where high rise buildings of any height can be built but it requires more steel.

Thus, the demand for steel is rising and the construction cost of the structure is also not in control. To make it control a new technology called U-Boot Beton technology is used.

This emerging technology uses environmental friendly recycled polypropylene, that reduces the thickness and weight of the slab.

It is light, quick and easy to position, thanks to the modularity. The designer can vary the geometric parameters as needed to adapt for all situations with great architectural freedom.

Applications:

It is used to create slabs with long spans that support large loads without beams.

It is light in weight, easily produced and very easy to place on the slab in the required location.

These are designed such that any shape of the slab can be decided without any architectural design problem.

Real-time applications

There are many real-time applications of this technology. It is widely used in the construction of buildings, parking structures, and raft foundation with less number of labors.

Advantages

1. It helps to increase the number of floors
2. With this technology, we can design a span for any length and also with any architectural style
3. It also helps to reduce the slab thickness.
4. We can avoid beam between the columns in the structure
5. It helps us to reduce the columns and also the overall load of the structure on the foundation.
6. When there are deep foundations, the size of the foundation can be reduced due to fewer loads.

Installation

1. The construction procedure is similar to column construction and the main beams are laid on the column reinforcement.
2. Now the slab reinforcements are laid and the u-boots are arranged according to slab dimensions.
3. The u-boots are connected by spacer joints. Now the u-boots are stiffened and also the slab
4. Now the concrete is laid on the slab reinforcement, after the curing of concrete, the reinforcements are removed.
5. Now only the slab portion containing concrete is visible and the remaining u-boots all hidden in the slab.

Disadvantages

1. Since it is an emerging technology, there may be a labor problem.
2. It is not available in all countries; it is available only in some countries.
3. Though the intermediate beams are reduced, the construction cost rises because the cost of a u-boot is too high.
