The slab is fully restrained through being tied into pre-cast panel walls on two sides. Using conventional methods of construction this level of restraint would have required jointing in the floor. Taking this restraint into account the Dramix® 4D CombiSlab solution enabled the construction of the floor completely joint free. This eliminated construction and, importantly, the maintenance costs associated with sawn and movement joints.
