Abstract

U-Boot beton deck slab is a modern technology which is used to create lightened two-way voided slabs in
reinforced concrete structures. U-Boot beton is a box-like formwork structure which is made up of recycled
polypropylene. The use of U-Boot beton helps in reducing the dead weight of the structure. This technology is light,
quick and easy to position. It is an eco-friendly technology as it uses recycled materials and it does not emit any toxic
substances. It also provides great resistance against fire. In this paper, we have designed a voided U-Boot beton Deck
Slab. The main aim is to design and estimate the quantities of various items. The overall cost of constructing the UBoot beton deck slab has also been determined.
