Hello everyone
I would like to know if someone can explain me the differenece between slipforming and extrusion production of precast hollowcore slabs.

Thank You
 
Both methods are typically the same, except slip forming will use a normal slump concrete and extruded will typically use a dry slump.
 
Hi. is there any to tell me what's the advantages of using hollow core concrete slab? compare to reinforced concrete slab? thanks..
 
I am looking for some feedback on the pro's/con's of using hollowcore floor slabs in combination with poured concrete form walls for residential basement construction. Any comments?
