Abstract

The use of construction materials has risen as culture and technology have grown. Concrete is the most often used of all the essential construction materials. To meet structural specifications, traditional architecture approaches include participants with large sizes. These massive structural elements including columns, slabs, beams, footings, partitions, and so on These massive structural structures have an effect on the volume of concrete used in building around the world. This, in particular, warns us to limit our use of concrete as a building medium because concrete not only adds to the dead load of a house but also produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct, making it detrimental to our climate. This research uses a bi-axial voided slab with various void formers, such as cylindrical, spherical, rectangular, trapezium, and square, spaced at 10mm centre to centre. It removes the concrete from the centre of the slab, resulting in a self-weight reduction of around 6% to 10%. A two bi-axial voided slab functions similarly to a standard slab. The final results met the requirements for strength and serviceability.
