Combi Slab – Truck wash slab
This truck wash roadway was constructed as fully restrained; it has large edge thickenings, re-entrant corners and a central drain running almost the full length of the road.
A conventionally reinforced solution would have required 2 layers of reinforcing bars to ensure a crack width of 0.2mm.
To achieve the same crack width, the Dramix® Combi Slab solution only required one layer of bars plus Dramix®. A simpler, faster and more cost effective option to construct.
Technical solution:
- Fibre Type - DRAMIX®
- Additional Reinforcement - top layer of mesh
- Constructed completely joint free
- C30/37 concrete
- Engineer: Opus
- Contractor : Fulton Hogan
Benefits
- Watertight restrained joint free slab
- Reduced long term maintenance
- Improved durability and elimination of expensive watertight joints
