Since it is only a second year subject, i think it will still appropriate for me to give a brief description of the product.
BONDEK steel formwork is used to form a suspended composite concrete slab. In its assembled state Bondek is used as formworko support wet concerete and construction materials. When the concrete hardens Bondek is cating as the bottom reinforcement of the concerete slab. It is a perfect choise of concrete ceiling floor construction such as the office floor in the previous drawing.
BONDEK steel formwork incorporates a number of unique features making it fast and easy to use as well as giving an overall material and labour saving in the construction of suspanded slabs. These includes :
