Abstract

Bubble deck slab is a slab which is created by inserting voids in the form of bubbles which reduces dead
weight and is an eco-friendly practice. In this method, all the concrete which is not performing any structural function
is removed. This reduces the dead weight of the structure. High density polyethylene hollow spheres are used which
replace the in-effective concrete in the center of the slab. The advantages are reduced weight, savings in materials,
faster construction time, less emission of exhaust gases and it is also a green technology. In this paper, we have
designed a voided Bubble Deck Slab. The main aim is to design and estimate the quantities of various items. The overall
cost of constructing the Bubble deck slab has also been determined.
