Definitions
- the present invention pertains to a concrete slab.
- Concrete slabs are widely known in the field of construction of buildings. Particularly, hollow core concrete slabs are manufactured in a factory; after curing, the slabs are transported to a construction site. Such slabs are typically used for making floors of a building. After erecting side walls the concrete slabs are placed on and supported by the side walls. Additionally, it is often desired to secure the concrete slabs to the side walls, which is possible by inserting and connecting reinforcing bars in the concrete slab and the wall. Remaining spaces around reinforcing bars may be filled with grout.
- EP 0 643 178 A2 discloses a hollow core concrete slab.
- a reinforcing member of the building structure can be received therein. This means that in a mounted condition of the concrete slab and the building structure, the hook portion of the concrete slab and the reinforcing member of the building structure are disposed in a mutual position such that they can exert a force onto each other. This provides the opportunity to transfer a force via the reinforcing element instead of the concrete of the concrete slab only.
- the connecting portion may be provided at an end of the concrete slab.
- a concrete slab is often block-shaped having opposite short side edges and opposite long side edges, whereas the small side edges mostly rest on vertical walls.
- the hook portion may extend parallel to the plane of the concrete slab.
- the hook portion is curved with respect to the fixed portion within a plane.
- the hook portion is part of a U-shaped reinforcing element.
- the fixed portion may extend in longitudinal direction of the concrete slab whereas the hook portion extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction.
- the recess is at least partly surrounded by the hook portion. This does not necessarily mean that the hook portion forms a wall of the recess, since a layer of concrete may be present between the hook portion and the recess.
- the hook portion protrudes laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction of the concrete slab. This provides the opportunity to secure the concrete slab to a neighbouring concrete slab having a similar protruding hook portion.
- This slab may also comprise a second hooked reinforcing element which has a hook portion that protrudes at the opposite side of the concrete slab, whereas the second hooked reinforcing element is fixed to the hooked reinforcing element.
- the concrete slab can be fixed to neighbouring concrete slabs at both sides.
- a building not belonging to the invention, comprises a building structure which is provided with a building structure reinforcing element, and a concrete slab which is provided with a hooked reinforcing element, wherein the building structure and the concrete slab are mounted to each other such that a hook portion of the hooked reinforcing element and at least a portion of the building structure reinforcing element lie in a plane parallel to the plane of the concrete slab.
- the hook portion and the building structure reinforcing element are located behind each other. This means that the hook portion and the reinforcing element can exert a force onto each other in a direction parallel to the plane of the concrete slab. It is advantageous that the force can be transferred via reinforcing elements instead of concrete only.
- a concrete slab as described hereinbefore can be mounted on a building structure, wherein the building structure includes a protrusion projecting upwardly and a building structure contact surface directed upwardly, wherein the concrete slab is placed downwardly onto the building structure such that the protrusion is inserted into the recess until the slab contact surface of the connecting portion of the concrete slab rests on the building structure contact surface, wherein the hooked reinforcing element and the protrusion are adapted such that when the concrete slab rests on the building structure contact surface the hooked reinforcing element and at least a portion of the protrusion lie in a plane parallel to the plane of the concrete slab.
- a method of manufacturing a hollow core concrete slab comprises the steps of preparing a mould in which channel recess elements are provided for obtaining channels in the concrete slab to be made and pouring concrete into the mould, wherein the steps of preparing the mould and pouring concrete are performed simultaneously whereas the mould is at least partly moved in a manufacturing direction, wherein at least a hooked reinforcing element is located within the mould at a predetermined location outside the channel recess elements, i.e. outside a path that the channel recess elements follow during manufacturing.
- Known production steps of preparing a mould and pouring concrete are formed by a slipformer or extruder. In case of an extruder the concrete is pressurized.
- the hooked reinforcing element may have a U-shape of which the legs direct from an end portion towards the core of the intended slab.
- the hooked reinforcing element may have a fixed portion extending in the manufacturing direction and a hook portion which extends transversely to the manufacturing direction.
- the resulting product may be cut in transverse direction of the manufacturing direction at a predetermined location of cutting in order to make a separate slab thereof, whereas the fixed portion of the hooked reinforcing element extends beyond the hook portion thereof as seen from the location of cutting.
- the legs thereof will direct away from the location of cutting such that the hook portion is located at the location of cutting.
- the hooked reinforcing element may be provided with an extension which is directed to and ends at the intended location of cutting.
- the extension may be used to fix the hooked reinforcing element of the concrete slab to a building structure after finishing and/or cutting the concrete slab.
- the extension may be a threaded pin to which a bolt can be attached.
- the hooked reinforcing element may be part of a lattice member, for example a cage-shape.
- a recess element can be placed at the hooked reinforcing element such that the hook portion and the recess element are aligned in the manufacturing direction.
- the recess element is located behind the hooked portion as seen from the location of cutting.
- the recess element may be an upright tube, for example. After finishing the concrete slab the recess element may be removed. Due to the presence of the recess element in the mould, a recess arises in the concrete slab as described in relation to several embodiments of concrete slabs hereinbefore.

Description
- The present invention pertains to a concrete slab.
- Concrete slabs are widely known in the field of construction of buildings. Particularly, hollow core concrete slabs are manufactured in a factory; after curing, the slabs are transported to a construction site. Such slabs are typically used for making floors of a building. After erecting side walls the concrete slabs are placed on and supported by the side walls. Additionally, it is often desired to secure the concrete slabs to the side walls, which is possible by inserting and connecting reinforcing bars in the concrete slab and the wall. Remaining spaces around reinforcing bars may be filled with grout.
EP 0 643 178 A2 - It is an object of the present invention to provide a concrete slab that can be fixed to a building structure in a manner which requires relatively little work at the construction site.
- This is achieved with the concrete slab according to
claim - Due to the presence of the recess, a reinforcing member of the building structure can be received therein. This means that in a mounted condition of the concrete slab and the building structure, the hook portion of the concrete slab and the reinforcing member of the building structure are disposed in a mutual position such that they can exert a force onto each other. This provides the opportunity to transfer a force via the reinforcing element instead of the concrete of the concrete slab only.
- The connecting portion may be provided at an end of the concrete slab. In practice a concrete slab is often block-shaped having opposite short side edges and opposite long side edges, whereas the small side edges mostly rest on vertical walls.
- The hook portion may extend parallel to the plane of the concrete slab. For example, the hook portion is curved with respect to the fixed portion within a plane. In a practical embodiment the hook portion is part of a U-shaped reinforcing element. The fixed portion may extend in longitudinal direction of the concrete slab whereas the hook portion extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction.
- The recess is at least partly surrounded by the hook portion. This does not necessarily mean that the hook portion forms a wall of the recess, since a layer of concrete may be present between the hook portion and the recess.
- In a concrete slab, not belonging to the invention, the hook portion protrudes laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction of the concrete slab. This provides the opportunity to secure the concrete slab to a neighbouring concrete slab having a similar protruding hook portion.
- This slab may also comprise a second hooked reinforcing element which has a hook portion that protrudes at the opposite side of the concrete slab, whereas the second hooked reinforcing element is fixed to the hooked reinforcing element. In this case the concrete slab can be fixed to neighbouring concrete slabs at both sides.
- A building, not belonging to the invention, comprises a building structure which is provided with a building structure reinforcing element, and a concrete slab which is provided with a hooked reinforcing element, wherein the building structure and the concrete slab are mounted to each other such that a hook portion of the hooked reinforcing element and at least a portion of the building structure reinforcing element lie in a plane parallel to the plane of the concrete slab. In other words, as seen in that plane, the hook portion and the building structure reinforcing element are located behind each other. This means that the hook portion and the reinforcing element can exert a force onto each other in a direction parallel to the plane of the concrete slab. It is advantageous that the force can be transferred via reinforcing elements instead of concrete only.
- A concrete slab as described hereinbefore can be mounted on a building structure, wherein the building structure includes a protrusion projecting upwardly and a building structure contact surface directed upwardly, wherein the concrete slab is placed downwardly onto the building structure such that the protrusion is inserted into the recess until the slab contact surface of the connecting portion of the concrete slab rests on the building structure contact surface, wherein the hooked reinforcing element and the protrusion are adapted such that when the concrete slab rests on the building structure contact surface the hooked reinforcing element and at least a portion of the protrusion lie in a plane parallel to the plane of the concrete slab.
- A method of manufacturing a hollow core concrete slab, not belonging to the invention, comprises the steps of preparing a mould in which channel recess elements are provided for obtaining channels in the concrete slab to be made and pouring concrete into the mould, wherein the steps of preparing the mould and pouring concrete are performed simultaneously whereas the mould is at least partly moved in a manufacturing direction, wherein at least a hooked reinforcing element is located within the mould at a predetermined location outside the channel recess elements, i.e. outside a path that the channel recess elements follow during manufacturing. Known production steps of preparing a mould and pouring concrete are formed by a slipformer or extruder. In case of an extruder the concrete is pressurized.
- The hooked reinforcing element may have a U-shape of which the legs direct from an end portion towards the core of the intended slab.
- The hooked reinforcing element may have a fixed portion extending in the manufacturing direction and a hook portion which extends transversely to the manufacturing direction.
- After the step of pouring concrete the resulting product may be cut in transverse direction of the manufacturing direction at a predetermined location of cutting in order to make a separate slab thereof, whereas the fixed portion of the hooked reinforcing element extends beyond the hook portion thereof as seen from the location of cutting. In case of a U-shaped hooked reinforcing element the legs thereof will direct away from the location of cutting such that the hook portion is located at the location of cutting. Furthermore, the hooked reinforcing element may be provided with an extension which is directed to and ends at the intended location of cutting. The extension may be used to fix the hooked reinforcing element of the concrete slab to a building structure after finishing and/or cutting the concrete slab. The extension may be a threaded pin to which a bolt can be attached.
- The hooked reinforcing element may be part of a lattice member, for example a cage-shape.
- In the step of preparing the mould, a recess element can be placed at the hooked reinforcing element such that the hook portion and the recess element are aligned in the manufacturing direction. In case of the step of cutting the resulting product at the location of cutting, the recess element is located behind the hooked portion as seen from the location of cutting. The recess element may be an upright tube, for example. After finishing the concrete slab the recess element may be removed. Due to the presence of the recess element in the mould, a recess arises in the concrete slab as described in relation to several embodiments of concrete slabs hereinbefore.

Fig. 1 shows a part of a building including an end portion of an embodiment of aconcrete slab 1 according to the invention. An end of theconcrete slab 1 is supported by a building structure, in this case awall 2.Fig. 1 shows a condition in which thewall 2 and theconcrete slab 1 extend transversely with respect to each other. Theconcrete slab 1 is of the type of a hollow core slab which is often used for making floors in buildings. Theconcrete slab 1 can have different sizes and shapes, but mostly it is block-shaped whereas the hollow channels extend parallel to its longitudinal centre line. Thewall 2 may be made of concrete, as well. - The
concrete slab 1 according toFig. 1 has a staggered end portion where the thickness of theconcrete slab 1 is thinner than an adjacent portion of theconcrete slab 1 remote from the corresponding end of theconcrete slab 1. The hollow channels of the embodiment as shown inFig. 1 extend beyond the lowered end portion as seen from the corresponding end of theconcrete slab 1 and extend above an upper face of the end portion. -
Fig. 1 illustrates a manner of connecting theconcrete slab 1 to thewall 2. Thewall 2 is provided with one ormore protrusions 3 that extend upwardly from thewall 2. In practice theprotrusions 3 are reinforcing bars that are made of steel. Theprotrusions 3 may be integrated in thewall 2 upon manufacturing thewall 2 in a factory or mounted on thewall 2 at the construction site. The end portion of theconcrete slab 1 of the embodiment ofFig. 1 forms a connectingportion 4 for connecting theconcrete slab 1 to thewall 2. The connectingportion 4 comprises aslab contact surface 5 at its lower side, which contacts awall contact surface 6 in the connected condition. Thus, theconcrete slab 1 is vertically supported at thewall contact surface 6. -
Fig. 1 shows that theprotrusions 3 of thewall 2 extend through a through-hole 7 of theconcrete slab 1. In order to mount theconcrete slab 1 on thewall 2 easily, the through-hole 7 is broader than the total thickness of theprotrusions 3 that extend through the through-hole 7. After installing theconcrete slab 1 on thewall 2 the remaining space between theprotrusions 3 and the surrounding wall of the through-hole 7 can be filled with grout. Due to this construction theconcrete slab 1 is fixed with respect to thewall 2 in a direction parallel to the plane of theconcrete slab 1. - Since concrete allows limited tension stress, the
concrete slab 1 according to the invention is provided with a hooked reinforcingelement 8. This is illustrated in the transparent views ofFigs. 2 and3 , which show several reinforcing elements in the embodiment ofFig. 1 . It can be seen that the hooked reinforcingelement 8 comprises a U-shaped reinforcingbar 8 in theconcrete slab 1. The reinforcingbar 8 comprises a fixedportion 8a which is embedded in the concrete of theconcrete slab 1, and ahook portion 8b which partly surrounds the through-hole 7. The fixedportion 8a comprises two parallel linear bars in this case. In this embodiment thehook portion 8b is also embedded in the concrete of theconcrete slab 1. A different shape of thehook portion 8b is conceivable. The function of thehook portion 8b is to transfer a force between thewall 2 and theconcrete slab 1 in a direction parallel to the plane of theconcrete slab 2 via theprotrusions 3 and the reinforcingbar 8. The U-shape of the reinforcingbar 8 may also be formed by two separate bars having angled end portions, for example. - According to an embodiment not covered by the present invention, instead of the through-
hole 7 theconcrete slab 1 may be provided with a recess at thehook portion 8b which opens at the side of theslab contact surface 5 only. -
Figs. 2 and3 also show auxiliary reinforcingbars 9 which extend transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of theconcrete slab 1. One of the auxiliary reinforcingbars 9 is fixed to the reinforcingbar 8. Hence, in this case the through-hole 7 is entirely surrounded by reinforcing bars: thehook portion 8b and a portion of one of the auxiliary reinforcingbars 9. - The auxiliary reinforcing
bars 9 are also fixed to eight U-shaped longitudinal reinforcingelements 10 at the end portion of theconcrete slab 1. Each longitudinal reinforcingelement 10 extends within a plane that extends in longitudinal direction of theconcrete slab 1 and transversely to the plane of theconcrete slab 1. A function of the longitudinal reinforcingelements 10 is to reinforce the end portion of theconcrete slab 1 against bending near thewall 2 where it is supported. It is noted that the hooked reinforcingelement 8, the auxiliary reinforcingbars 9 and the longitudinal reinforcingelements 10 are part of alattice member 20 which is embedded in the concrete of theconcrete slab 1. The through-hole 7 is applied at a location where the lattice member forms ahook portion 8b. Theconcrete slab 1 may further comprise reinforcing bars, pipes, wires, prestressing tendons, or the like, at a lower portion of theslab 1 which extend along substantially theentire slab 1 in longitudinal direction thereof, like conventional hollow core concrete slabs. InFigs. 1-3 the presence of tendons are illustrated by a horizontal row of small circles near the bottom of theslab 1. - Referring to
Fig. 1 , thewall 2 and theconcrete slab 1 form part of a building. Upon making the building, theconcrete slab 1 is placed downwardly onto thewall 2 such that theprotrusions 3 are inserted into therecess 7 until theslab contact surface 5 of the connectingportion 4 of theconcrete slab 1 rests on thewall contact surface 6. In the embodiment as shown inFig. 1 theprotrusions 3 extend through the through-hole 7 beyond thehook portion 8b in upward direction. Alternatively, thehook portion 8b may be located such and theprotrusions 3 may have a length such that when theconcrete slab 1 rests on thewall contact surface 6, thehook portion 8b and end portions of theprotrusions 3 lie in a plane parallel to the plane of theconcrete slab 1. This provides the opportunity to transfer a horizontal force between thewall 2 and theconcrete slab 1 via thehook portion 8b and theprotrusions 3. -
Fig. 4 shows aconcrete slab 1, not belonging to the invention. The connectingportion 4 is provided with a protrudinghook portion 8b. Thehook portion 8b protrudes laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction of theconcrete slab 1. Furthermore, theconcrete slab 1 comprises a second hooked reinforcing element 8' which has ahook portion 8b'. Therespective hook portions concrete slab 1. Bothhook portions concrete slab 1 and are embedded in the concrete. -
Fig. 5 illustrates a situation where twoconcrete slabs 1 are installed next to each other. The slab contact surfaces 5 of the respectiveconcrete slabs 1 rest on thewall 2. In this case thehook portions concrete slabs 1 can be easily coupled to each other and to theprotrusion 3 of thewall 2, as illustrated inFig. 5 . Theprotrusion 3 extends through the overlappinghook portions protrusion 3. -
Figs. 6-9 show still another embodiment of aconcrete slab 1 according to the invention. In this case twoconcrete slabs 1 have identical connectingportions 4 for connecting theconcrete slabs 1 to thewall 2. Their slab contact surfaces 5 rest on thewall contact surface 6 of thewall 2 close to each other. Hence, bothconcrete slabs 1 are vertically supported at thewall contact surface 6.Figs. 8 and9 clearly show that theprotrusion 3 projects upwardly from thewall 2 between the opposite ends of the respectiveconcrete slabs 1. - The structure according to
Figs. 6-9 is further provided with aU-shaped link 11 of which the legs are received by the through-holes 7. Similar to the embodiment as shown inFigs. 2 and3 eachconcrete slab 1 ofFigs. 6-9 comprises eight parallel U-shaped longitudinal reinforcingelements 10 which are fixed to the auxiliary reinforcingbars 9. In this embodiment the U-shaped hooked reinforcingbar 8 ofFigs. 2 and3 is omitted. However, its function is accomplished by at least a part of the auxiliary reinforcingbars 9 and the longitudinal reinforcingelements 10, which is illustrated by broken lines inFigs. 7 and8 . Each of the formed virtual hooked reinforcing elements has a longitudinal portion that is directed from the end of the concrete slab towards its core and a hook portion that extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of theconcrete slab 1. As seen from the end of theslab 1 the through-hole 7 is located beyond thehook portion 8b. After installing theconcrete slabs 1 onto thewall 2 the space between the oppositeconcrete slabs 1 and between the legs of theU-shaped links 11 and the inner walls of the respective through-holes 7 can be filled with grout. Preferably, thelink 11 and theprotrusion 3 are fixed to each other by additional means, for example by means of welding. -
Figs. 10-14 show severalconcrete slabs 1, not belonging to the invention, which are provided with reinforcing elements at end-portions thereof, but in which a through-hole or recess for receiving a reinforcing element of a supporting structure lacks. -
Figs. 10 and11 show U-shaped longitudinal reinforcingelements 12 which are embedded in theconcrete slabs 1. In the embodiment ofFig. 10 the three U-shaped longitudinal reinforcingelements 12 are fixed together by theauxiliary reinforcing bar 9. The reinforcingelements 12 extend within a plane which is substantially parallel to the plane of theconcrete slab 1. The embodiment ofFig. 11 comprises two U-shaped longitudinal reinforcingelements 12. Each of thelatter elements 12 extends within a plane substantially perpendicularly to the plane of theconcrete slab 1. A function of the U-shaped longitudinal reinforcingelements 12 is to improve the bending stiffness of the end portion of theconcrete slab 1 when it is supported there by a supporting structure. - The
slab 1 ofFig. 11 is also provided with extensions, or in this case threaded ends 13, which are fixed to the respective U-shaped longitudinal reinforcingelements 12. The threaded ends 13 can be used for attaching theconcrete slab 1 to a supporting structure. This is illustrated inFigs. 12-14 , which show how theconcrete slab 1 ofFig. 11 is fixed to thewall 2. Aprofile 14 which has a Z-shaped cross-section is attached to theconcrete slab 1 by means of the threaded ends 13.Fig. 13 shows that a horizontally-oriented lower portion of theprofile 14 supports theconcrete slab 1, whereas a horizontally-oriented upper portion of theprofile 14 is supported by thewall 2. Furthermore, the upper portion of theprofile 14 comprises a through-hole 15 through which theprotrusion 3 of thewall 2 extends. In mounted condition a horizontal force on theconcrete slab 1 is transferred to thewall 2 via the U-shaped longitudinal reinforcingelements 12, the threaded ends 13, theprofile 14 and theprotrusion 3. It is noted that the threaded ends 13 may be replaced by pins, bars or the like, without thread. - The embodiments of the hollow core
concrete slab 1 as described hereinbefore can be made by a method of manufacturing, not belonging to the present invention. Conventional hollow core concrete slabs are usually manufactured in great length, for example 150 m, and cut afterwards in shorter elements of for example 5 m, but shorter or longer elements are conceivable.Fig. 15 shows anapparatus 16 for manufacturing a hollow coreconcrete slab 1. Theapparatus 16 comprises a pouringdevice 17 which can be moved by means of wheels over awork floor 18 in a manufacturing direction X. -
Fig. 16 shows a cross-section of theapparatus 16 according toFig. 15 in case when the pouringdevice 17 is at the location indicated by A-A. - On the
work floor 18 two uprightopposite mould parts 22 are located at a predefined distance from each other, between which concrete can be poured. The inner contours of themould parts 22 define the shapes of sidewalls of the resultingconcrete slab 1. Bothupright mould parts 22 and thework floor 18 form part of a mould. - The pouring
device 17 is provided withchannel recess elements 23 for obtaining the hollow channels in the hollow coreconcrete slab 1 to be made. Thechannel recess elements 23 are elongated bodies that are fixed to the pouringdevice 17. The length of achannel recess element 23 may be 1 m, for example, but a longer or shorterchannel recess element 23 is conceivable. During the manufacturing process the pouringdevice 17 including thechannel recess elements 23 move continuously forward and concrete is supplied to the mould simultaneously. As a consequence, at the rear side of the pouringdevice 17 the intended slab appears, which is shown at the right side ofFig. 15 . In an alternative embodiment themould parts 22 may be attached to the pouringdevice 17, as well. This is typically the case when using a slipformer. In another embodiment theapparatus 16 may comprise an extruder. In that case thechannel recess elements 23 may be part of a plate-shaped mould through which the concrete is pressed during displacement of theapparatus 16, hence forming theconcrete slab 1. - Due to the continuous manufacturing process the
channel recess elements 23 are removed from the resulting slab after the step of pouring concrete. It is noted that the process is illustrated and described in a simplified way, but in practice it may be a more complicated multi-step process. Theapparatus 16 may be provided with compacting members (not shown) for compacting the concrete. The compacting members may comprise vibrating elements so as to fluidize the concrete. -
Reinforcement wires 19, tubes, prestressing tendons, or the like, may lay on thework floor 18 before the pouring device including thechannel recess elements 23 passes. Thewires 19 may be taken up by the pouringdevice 17 in a known manner such that they have a desired location within the mould when concrete is poured into the mould. -
Fig. 15 shows that at different location along thework floor 18 thelattice members 20 are placed on thework floor 18. After the pouringdevice 17 has passed thelattice members 20 they are embedded in the concrete and severalconcrete slabs 1 can be made by cutting the resulting product on thework floor 18. An intended location of cutting is indicated byreference numeral 21 inFig. 15 . This means that the resultingslabs 1 at both sides of the location of cutting 21 will have an end portion that is provided with thelattice member 20, such as shown inFigs. 2 ,3 ,6-9 ,12 ,13 . Within the lattice member 20 a recess element can be placed before pouring concrete in order to create a recess or through-hole 7 in the intendedslab 1. The staggered end portions of the slabs can be created by removing concrete, which has not fully cured yet, locally. - The
lattice member 20 can have numerous shapes and dimensions. For example, it may have a cage shape and comprise U-shaped reinforcing elements of which the legs direct from the end portion of theconcrete slab 1 towards the core of theslab 1. - It is noted that the
lattice member 20 is located outside thechannel recess elements 23. In the embodiment ofFig. 16 thelattice member 20 is located below thechannel recess elements 23. Before starting pouring of concrete thelattice member 20 may be placed onto thework floor 18 directly or by means of supporting elements (not shown). - The
concrete slab 1 according toFig. 4 can also be made by means of the method according to the invention. This is illustrated inFig. 17 . In the step of preparing the mould thehook portions upright mould parts 22. - Alternatively, in the step of pouring the concrete is poured such that at least a part of the
hook portions concrete slab 1. At the construction site thehook portions concrete slab 1. -
Fig. 18 shows still anotherlattice member 20. In this case thelattice member 20 comprisesvertical bushes 24 at its opposite side ends. Thebushes 24 are provided with internal threads and are located just below horizontal portions of theupright mould parts 22. As a consequence, after manufacturing aslab 1 including thelattice member 20 according toFig. 18 bolts can be fixed to thebushes 24. When installing twoslabs 1 next to each other they can be fixed to each other via a common link, for example a steel plate, which is fixed by bolts torespective bushes 24 ofadjacent slabs 1. - From the foregoing it will be clear that the concrete slab according to the invention can be easily and reliably fixed to a building structure such as a wall, whereas the concrete slabs can be manufactured in a simple manner.
- The invention is not limited to the embodiments as shown in the drawings and described hereinbefore, which may be varied in different manners within the scope of the claims.
