U-boot technology enhances concrete construction by creating lighter, larger-span slabs, allowing for thinner floors without sacrificing performance. It uses a formwork made of recycled polypropylene to reduce weight and improve structural efficiency, applicable in various building types like hospitals and public structures. The technology offers numerous advantages, including improved acoustic behavior and reduced foundation needs, making it an eco-friendly and economical option in construction.

3. INTRODUCTION
 One of the obstacles with concrete
constructions, in case of horizontal slabs, is the
high weight, which limits the span.
 For this reason major developments of
reinforced concrete have focused on enhancing
the span.
 In U Boot Technology, slabs are created with
large span and makes floors thinner by reducing
the weight while maintaining the performance of
reinforced concrete slabs.

4. WHAT IS U BOOT TECHNOLOGY
 U-boot beton is a formwork made of
recycled polypropylene.
 Void form work placed in between the top
and bottom reinforcements of slab.

5. ACCESSORIES
 Connection bridge
 Spacer joint
 Closing plate

6. DIMENSIONS
 U-boot beton normally 52cmX52cm and
manually 10 ,13, 16, 20, 24 ,28 cm in
height.

7. U BOOT BETON SANDWICH
 U boot beton formwork is shaped like a
pyramid drunk.
 It is also known as double U boot beton.

8. INSTALLATION

10. Removal of form work
Step-5 Step-6

11. ADVANTAGES
1. Increased number of
floors
2. Large span
3. Reduced slab thickness
4. No beams between pillars
5. Reduction in the number of pillars
6. Reduction in the overall load of the structure
weighing on the pillars and the foundation
7. Reduced foundations – less deep foundation
excavation
8. Improved acoustic behavior
9.Economic

12. APPLICATIONS
 Used in public buildings, hospitals,
industries etc.
 Used in raft foundations
 Used in two way slabs
 Overall thickness of the slabs reduced

13. EXISTENCE
Hospital, Italy
Iran
Multi storey cinema, Russia

14. CONCLUSION
 U Boot Technology can be used to
increase the span by reducing the concrete
content
 Economic
 Advantageous
 Also eco-friendly
 Hence safe to use
