What is Cobiax?
The history of Cobiax
Studies in the field of lightening and removal of inefficient concrete have been founded and established since 1985 in German universities and the group of companies of cobiax Technologies Group in 1997 with the company of engineers and experts from Switzerland and other European Union countries, and now it has become a Expert collection on light flat slabs with reinforced concrete.

The meaning of cobiax: cobiax technology is one of the most modern methods of reducing the weight of the structure while maintaining its structural performance, which is proud to receive technical approval from the German State Technical Institute of Building Techniques (DIBT) and approval from the Building and Housing Research Center of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and has won an award. Germany's resource efficiency and the first choice of green technology in 2010 is Switzerland. The general principles of this system is to create a flat slab through in-situ concreting with permanent holes in two directions. The purpose of using these holes (spherical and flat parts) is to remove unnecessary concrete. In fact, the performance of the cobiax slab system is such that with the formation of a strong concrete membrane in the upper and lower part of the slab along with the network of internal beams (resulting from the placement of hollow spheres throughout the middle space of the concrete slab along two perpendicular axes), the dead load is not The structure is removed and the two-axis load-bearing properties are improved, so a higher load-bearing capacity can be imagined for this slab. cobiax slabs can reduce the weight of a square meter slab by 30% compared to a flat slab with the same thickness. As a result of this, the bending capacity of this type of slab increases significantly compared to a flat slab of the same weight. According to the needs of the design, the Kobiax roof system can be implemented as prefabricated, semi-prefabricated or in-situ. Also, this system can be easily combined with other systems such as pre-tensioned systems. In this system, the beam can be removed in the meaning of the term, in which case the lateral load is provided by the shear walls. cobiax is mostly used as column slab system along with shear walls. In this case, while saving the consumption of concrete and steel, a smooth surface without hanging beams is created in the structure.
