In civil engineering and architecture, a slab is the structural element of a building responsible for transmitting the forces that reach it to the beams (or directly to the pillars in the case of funnel-shaped slabs) that support it, and from these to the pillars. Slabs are also two-dimensional structural elements, characterized by having a much smaller thickness than the other two dimensions. Another characteristic that differentiates slabs from other flat structural elements is that the load acting on them is perpendicular to their midplane. The slab mesh is an essential material for the construction of this structure in all types of buildings. It serves as support for the cement, preventing it from being left without any reference and causing any structural problems. As can be seen, the slab mesh plays an important role in terms of safety. The main objective of its use in construction is to provide structural rigidity. There are many advantages to using slab mesh, some of which are better fixation of the concrete and good control of cracking, precisely due to the composition of the mesh. The weight of Styrofoam, expanded polystyrene (EPS), is insignificant compared to ceramic tiles, resulting in significant time savings during construction and also weight savings in the structure and foundation. Thermal and acoustic insulation are also advantages of this type of slab.

Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: (VIVO) 081 9 81578070 and (TIM) 081 9 95170179 The JC Institute is the result of the efforts of professor and electrical engineer Jadson Caetano to disseminate social projects and transmit knowledge in a reliable and accessible way to all Brazilians. It is also a way of mentioning and paying tribute to his family and siblings: Jeferson Caetano, Jamison Caetano, Jairo Caetano (father), José Damião, José Wiliton, Maria de Lourdes (mother) and especially José Cosmo (brother who left too soon). Finally, the name Instituto JC does not represent only the initials of Jadson Caetano, but rather, it represents the initials of most of his siblings, his father, and finally, the Caetano family itself.
