Filler-Slab as a Continuous T-Beam Slab

Shelter is amongst the three basic human needs but now-a-days, about two-third of the total Indian population do not have their own shelter. This two-third population belongs to the middle and lower income class. These people find it difficult to construct their houses at an affordable cost by using conventional construction technology. It is found in many cases that people serve their whole life constructing their own house, but fail. The mission and dream of these people can be achieved by appropriate use of cost effective and innovative construction technology. As a whole, the housing shortage of the country can be overcome within lesser funds, without compromising with the quality control and structural stability of the structure. My this work is in continuation with the paper entitled “Cost Effective and Innovative Housing Technology�, presented in IJSRD Vol. 2, Issue – 6, pages 27-29. In this work I have shown the demonstration and use of Filler-Slab in building construction to reduce cost of construction as well as the dead load of the structure. This technology also aims at increasing the strength of the slab as compared to RCC slab.
