Abstract
A key tectonic component in the construction of houses and buildings is the beam. In essence, the concrete in the centre of the beam, which has no structural value, is removed, considerably reducing the structural dead load. A beam that has spheres of various sizes and shapes in place of its centre is referred to as a bubble beam. The advantages of factory-made materials and components are typically combined with controlled environments, on- and off-site finishing, and the hollow Bubble Deck technology. Numerous advantages are offered, such as reduced total costs, reduced material utilization, increased structural efficiency, quicker construction, and environmental friendliness. In this project, high density polyethylene balls are used in place of the concrete in the beam's middle. The substance most often used globally. This study focuses on the impact of the bubble deck system on the concrete's performance with regard to durability characteristics for structures made of concrete that use bubble deck technology. In order to promote the safe and sustainable use of this cutting-edge technology in the construction sector, the research seeks to give a better knowledge of the long-term durability of bubble deck concrete structures and to identify any possible durability concerns related with its usage.
