The buildings constructed over such soils normally undergo differential settlement and sometimes become the cause of collapse. The requirements of site for buildings with different occupancies are different. The site should be in fully developed area or in the area which has potential of development.

Construction is one of the hardest industries to manage cash flow in, with contractors often facing large up-front costs and frequent, long delays between expenses and payment. It’s fairly common, especially on commercial and public construction projects, and typically ranges from 5 - 10% of the total contract price.

The bearing length should be atleast 75mm to avoid spalling of the edges. To prevent this short of failure occurring, the slab must be tied to the beam. Connections in Hollow Core Slab: The problem with hollow core slabs is that there is no projecting reinforcement in the slab, so a frictional tie is required. Finally, in-situ concrete is poured.
