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 .

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
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.

19
The two cases have the same deflection value so it is more economic to use one
cross rib at mid span

Modeling
Introduction
The Example:
F.C =1.5 KN/m2 ,
L.L =3 KN /m2 ,
Modeling
Model 1
The ribs are frame elements with cross section as T-section and connected
together with a virtual slab with very small thickness.
22
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 .
Modeling
Model 3
The ribs are converted to a thickness on the whole slab and use virtual slab
to connect between elements with very small thickness.
25
Modeling
Model 4
The ribs are represented as frame elements with rectangle section and the
connecting element is frame element with rectangle section.
Modeling
This table shows the differences between the models and the manual
solution .
