Introduction
Hollow block and Ribbed slabs are formed by placing blocks on the slab
and concrete ribs.
In case of hollow block slab voided blocks are placed to reduce the total
weight of the slab .
Types hollow block slab are one way and two way slabs .

Egyptian code (ECP 203)
■ The minimum value of rib width (b) isn't less than 1/4 slab thickness
(t) or 100 mm whichever greater, with taking into account
requirements of concrete cover, distance between bars and fire
requirements

Limitations of Hollow block slabs :
■ Clear distance between ribs (e) not more than 500 mm , jointed
in cement : sand mortar ts is 25 mm.
■ Clear distance between ribs (e) not more than 500 mm not
jointed in cement : sand mortar ts is 30 mm.
■ One limitation will change from ribbed slab The minimum flange
thickness of 50 mm may be reduced to 40 mm.

One & two way slab Solved examples
It is obvious that the RFT and concrete quantities in the two way hollow
block slab is more economic however the execution of the two way hollow
block slab is harder than the one way hollow block slab. 17
Effect of cross ribs on deflection
In The previous example the effect of cross ribs on deflection will be
discussed on sap program.
At first one cross rib is put in the mid span of the slab.
Then two cross ribs are put at 1/3 of the span from each side.

Effect of cross ribs

Effect of cross ribs
The two cases have the same deflection value so it is more economic to use one
cross rib at mid span

Modeling
Introduction
Different models of hollow block slabs on computer programs (Sap 2000)
are illustrated.
The Example:
F.C =1.5 KN/m2 ,
L.L =3 KN /m2 ,
22
The moment on the ribs=19.3675 KN.m
23
Modeling
■ Model 2
The ribs are frame elements with cross section as T-section and connected
together with frame elements with cross section as rectangular section .
25
The moment on the ribs= 19.0767 KN.m
26
Modeling
■ Model 4
The ribs are represented as frame elements with rectangle section and the
connecting element is frame element with rectangle section.
This table shows the differences between the models and the manual
solution .
