Uniform Thickness Slab – Wafflemat USA
http://wafflematusa.com/hybrid-systems/uniform-thickness-slab
Uniform thickness concrete slabs are sometimes specified for use on expansive soil. They are usually very thick and require more reinforcement, whether post-tensioned cables or rebar, as required by building codes and accepted design practice, in order to provide the necessary reinforcement strength for the large mass of concrete. Most importantly, Wafflemat absorbs the volume change of the expansive soil. The use of non-expansive fill is not required with Wafflemat. Uniform Thickness Slab with Wafflemat:.

Slab on Piers – Wafflemat USA
http://wafflematusa.com/hybrid-systems/slab-on-piers
In some areas of the country, with deep layers of expansive soil, in-ground piers are used to support the grade beams of foundations. Wafflemat can be used to create voids under the slab and between the grade beams of this type of foundation, thereby completely isolating the slab from the underlying expansive soil. Note that Wafflemat can be used as a direct substitute for carton forms that are used to form voids. Wafflemat With Structural Slab On Piers. Structural Slab On Piers:. Technical Info →.
