Waffle Slab

Soffit of original 1977 Knox City car park structure. Columns have capitals and drop panels in the slab to resist shear at these locations (i.e. the columns 'punching through' the floor slab).

 

This method was commonly used in the 1970's and 1980's. Standard formwork squares were used in the waffle layout to simplify formwork in construction.
