The whole weight of the building is taken away by the self- weight of the reinforced concrete. In order to reduce the usage of concrete and self-weight of slabs, usually preferred slabs are voided slabs or hollow slabs. Such slabs have benefits such as reduced weights, economical longer spans, reduced floor-to- floor heights etc. Cost reductions in roofs/ floors are gained through the choosing of filling a part of concrete in the tension zone with cheaper materials. In the context, with the use of waste material in building construction and solving its disposal problem, a technology has been developed at the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee, India, to build reinforced floor/roof slab with multiple materials as filler material. This paper discusses about the benefits of filler slab when considered over a conventional slab, considering the parameters of thermal performance, materials, construction technique and acoustical benefits.
