When you erect new buildings, the structures have to be designed to resist to seismic stress, as prescribed by the anti-seismic standards.
Daliform Group, Company that has always been outstanding for its capacity to create new innovative products, has developed seismically efficient building solutions: putting some hollow elements in recycled Polypropylene, called U-Boot® Beton, in horizontal structures to optimize the distribution of the concrete masses, thus reducing the quantity used.
In this way, you obtain the additional advantage of saving steel for the reinforcement: with the same thickness compared to a monolithic slab, with U-Boot® Beton you get a weight reduction of up to 40%. This has a positive effect on the rest of the structure thanks to the reduction of seismic and gravitational actions.
All this leads to larger structural meshes, absence of emerging beams, more flexible spaces and more adaptable environments over time.
U-Boot® Beton replaces the obsolete and problematic traditional lightening systems in polystyrene and brick, ensuring superior structural performances, high quality standards of the slab and a perfect and homogeneous intrados finish, allowing to satisfy even the architectural needs.
U-Boot® Beton guarantees excellent performances even when used for structures to be built in the most demanding seismic areas.
