Behavioral Analysis of Conventional Slab and Bubble Deck Slab Under Various Support and Loading Conditions using Ansys Workbench 14.0 : Review Paper

The objective of this study is to perform the behavioral analysis of conventional slab and bubble deck slab using ANSYS workbench 14.0. This comparative study includes the study of normal slab and slab with HDPE spherical ball at center to form voids. Normally the Bubble Deck framework consolidates the advantages of production line made components in controlled conditions alongside on location site with reduced quantity of concrete. High Density polyethylene (HDPE) empty sphere replaces the ineffective concrete at neutral axis of the slab section, in this way diminishing the dead weight. Simply supported End conditions are assumed for both slabs under Static (UDL) loads. The analysis result showed the total deflection, Von-mises Stress of both slab under uniformly distributed load for different end conditions. This paper moreover displays a review on the properties and preferences of Bubble Deck section over conventional slab.
