As a highly requested video, we'll discover how flat beams and blocks are made for suspended slabs. Also known as beam to beam technology, the flat beams are prestressed to achieve a high tensile strength for the steel. I spent time with Tony Mureithi of Promax Manufacturing at his yard and at a site in Membley (Kiambu County, Kenya). Enjoy the discussion.

nice job making this video. its very informative. while there are a few ways to improve this process. with a good quality block making machine you will be able to make those blocks thinner and lighter. also in many countries 50cm hollow floor blocks are used (asmolen blocks). if you use 50cm blocks the number of beams used will be reduced. there are different shapes of asmolen blocks as well.

Greetings from a German living in Panama. I used this kind of system on my house construction in Germany. So it is very safe to use. In Panama, I can not find this system. I will make the beams myself. For bricks / blocks I will use 3” clay blocks. Why clay? The weight is 3.3 kg to 10.2kg to concrete blocks. Nice detailed video.

hello @holgermessner851, I foresee I will have the same problem in Nigeria. In fact for now I have only found one very expensive company and another that does not really understand the science behind the beam and block slab system. Therefore I will so much love to be kept updated as you progress with your DIY on this subject of slabbing. Meanwhile, I can only wish you good luck and success.

@johnonyeka9503 I just had "THE" idea how to go ahead. I will use a 4'x8' wood board, attach a 4'x4' so I get the length. Use 2"x4" x14' CARRIOLA screwed left and right. Put it in place where it should be in the house, I put rebars in it and fill it with concrete. That gives a roughly 110cm wide beam/floor. I will make 5 of this big moldings. When the concrete is cured for 5 days, I will remove it and put it to the next place until my floor of the upper level is closed. After that is done, I put another 3-5cm concrete on top of the whole floor. - I did walk and drive all over the places I could think of. Contacted factories where concrete blocks are made. Everyone said: Not in Panama. - Instead wasting time, making small beams & blocks myself, I just thought: If I have to put concrete in molds - it's easier to make the floor with my bigger molds. I got some quotes to put wood and supports for the whole floor and it would cost me between $3,000-4,000 for wood & plywood, I would only use one time. Now I will spend $400 for the molds and use them until the floor is completed. I can't use a wood floor construction because of termites.

Therefore, I will advise that you have patience till this weekend as I plan to send you a compilation of video links on the argument. I also intend to add some notes for further elucidation. I am convinced these resource materials will be very helpful to you. Allora, a fine settimana. Ciao, amico.

@@johnonyeka9503 Greetings to Nigeria. Well. What ever it is, it won’t help me in Panama. I just spoke with a factory manager where I buy my concrete blocks from. They could make the blocks but it would be very expensive and nobody else would buy them. Most family houses made with only one level. 2 level houses made with prefab floors where big cranes lifting the parts on top of the walls. Where my lot is, there is only a earth / dirt road and it is not suitable for heavy trucks. I even have trouble to get sand & gravel delivered with a 20 yard truck. I’m getting 5 yard deliveries. My blocks get delivered with a maximum of 10 pallet at once. It’s too heavy for the road. And they only deliver if it is not raining for at least 2 days. My lot is 2 minutes from the main highway in Panama but I have to use the dirt road. Between the lot and the highway entrance is a private property with no through traffic.

The cost of using props, BRC(very expensive) can add up- labor, materials etc- when using these beams compared to t beams. I would like to see side by side comparison between the 3, normal, t beams and flat beams comparison to have a better perspective.

I have just finished constructing the 1st decking using the traditional concrete and rod reinforced casting method . But, Is it possible to introduce this prestressed T-Beam and Block method on the 2nd decking without having any structural defects? Thanks

@@PropertyNoma I mean all factors constant, would this slab remain intact after a tremor? Or when an impact hits section of the house, will the rest of the house that is built using this technology remain intact like the conventionally done structure does? This is a critical question as I have seen impact on a building that that was done by assembling concrete slabs. In this particular case one side of the structure came tumbling down after one room suffered cooking gas explosion. Ordinarily in a traditionally done structure the explosion should have been contained in the locale it happened. This is my concern. Has research been done on this aspect?
