Filler slab technology is a simple and a very innovative technology for a slab construction.
if we want to optimize the structure we can remove concrete from the tension zone where it is not much needed. That’s the key behind
filler slab construction.
This is a very cost effective roofing technology.
Here concrete from the tension zone, is replaced (partially) using light weight and low cost filler material. This method of construction is
called filler slab.

These filler materials are so placed as not to compromise the
structural strength, stability and durability, resulting in replacing
unwanted and non-functional tension concrete, from below and
thus resulting in economy of high energy material consumption and
respective cost savings and decreased dead load of the slab.
