U-Boot Beton is a recycled polypropylene formwork used to create lightweight concrete slabs and rafts with large spans. It comes in various heights from 10-28 cm and dimensions of 52x52 cm. U-Boot Beton is used in applications like hospitals, parking structures, and raft foundations. It offers advantages like increased floors in buildings, large spans with thin slabs, reduced foundations, and improved acoustics. The formwork is installed by positioning U-Boot Beton units with spacers, adding rebar, and casting concrete in phases.

 IN THIS U BOOT BETON IS SHAPED AS PYRAMID
DRUNK.
 IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS DOUBLE U-BOOT BETON

12. INSTALLATION
• STEP 1 • STEP 2
12
The entire surface of the slab to
be cast on site is shuttered with
wood deckings (or similar
systems), then the lower
reinforconcrete bars are
positioned in two mutually
perpendicular directions
according to the design and the
lattice for the upper
reinforconcrete is arranged.
The U-Boot Beton formworks are
positioned using the lateral spacers
joints to place them at the desired
centre distance that will determine
the beam width. Thanks to the
conic elevator foot, theU-Boot
Beton formworks will be lifted from
the surface, making it possible for
the lower slab to be formed. If
double or triple elements are used,
these elements must first be
assembled, which will be supplied
on distinct pallets in the yard.

13. INSTALLATION
• STEP 3
The positioning of the
reinforcemnts of concretes is
completed by placing above the
U-Boot Beton formwork the
upper bars in the two directions
as well as the reinforcement for
shear and punching where
necessary, according to the
design.
• STEP 4
The concrete casting must be
performed in two phases to
prevent the floatation of the
formworks: an initial layer will be
cast to fill a thickness equal to the
height of the elevator foot.
Casting will continue for this first
portion of the slab until the
concrete starts to set and become
semi fluid.

14. INSTALLATION
• STEP 5
Once suitably set, the casting
can be restarted from the
starting point, completely
burying the U-Boot Beton. The
casting is then levelled and
smoothed in a traditional
manner.
• STEP 6
Once the structure has
hardened, the formwork can be
removed. The surface is smooth
in correspondence of the soffit.

15. ADVANTAGES
15
1. INCREASED NUMBER OF FLOORS
Possibility to gain floors at the same
building height (towers) and building
volume.
2.LARGE SPAN AND GREAT
ARCHITECTURAL FREEDOM
Large space
3.REDUCED SLAB THICKNESS
Thinner slabs but with equal loads
and clearances, or bigger clearances
with an equal thickness

16. ADVANTAGES
16
4. NO BEAMS BETWEEN PILLARS
Flat soffit for greater flexibility when
installing systems.
5. REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF
PILLARS – OPTIMISATION OF THE
SECTION OF PILLARS
6. REDUCTION IN THE OVERALL LOAD
OF THE STRUCTURE WEIGHING ON
THE PILLARS AND THE FOUNDATION.

17. ADVANTAGES
17
7. REDUCED FOUNDATIONS -LESS
DEEP FOUNDATION EXCAVATION
Lower costs for foundation
excavations. Less excavation.
8. IMPROVED ACOUSTIC BEHAVIOUR
Less acoustic transmittance

18. ADVANTAGES
18
9.FIRE RESISTANT
10. SOUND INSULATION

19. CONCLUSION
19
U BOOT TECHNOLOGY CAN BE
USED TO INCREASE THE SPAN
BY REDUCING CONCRETE
WEIGHT. IT IS
ECONOMIC,ADVANTEGOUS
AND ECO-FRIENDLY HENCE IT IS
SAFE FOR USE
