Abstract:
In this thesis, one of structural member which called slabs are studied as
general and in particular one of this types hollow block slab as structural
system.
This structural system is a new method of construction for flooring
system is used in Sudan, and this research is covering this type which is
included the analysis and design of hollow block slab using different
provisions codes: Egyptian cod (EPC 203-2007), American code (ACI
318-2005)
and
British
code
(BS
8110-1997).In
additional
to
reinforcement detailing and construction method.
The results of analysis and design by codes are compared to find the code
designable achieving economical and safety.
The economical and safety code is used to analysis and design tow floors
system; flat slab and hollow block slab and compare results to find the
best system and lesser cost.
This thesis is concluded to that hollow block slab is suitable system
because the lowest cost and other features make it suitable structural
system for hot places like Sudan.
