Abstract
Bubble deck slab is an innovatory floor system of reinforced concrete which contains palm seeds as concrete saving elements. Palm seeds replace the ineffective concrete in the centre of the slab, thus decreasing the dead weight from 30 to 50%. Due to lightweight of slab, it reduces the loads on the columns, walls and foundations. The main aim of this project is to study the behaviour of load deflection of RC slab and bubble deck slab. In this study, conventional slab and bubble deck slab are cast and tested. From the results, it was found that the load-carrying capacity of bubble deck slab is 28% more than that of conventional slab. It is also observed that the deflection value in bubble deck slab showed less value than conventional slab.
