Is BubbleDeck Strong?

March 10, 2021

BubbleDeck is strong.

A lot of the strength of concrete is solely used to support its own weight. By removing this excess weight the slab is able to preform much better. The concrete that is removed does not have any structural integrity in the first place.

How is this possible?

This about it like this. Picture an Olympic Weight Lifter lifting 500 pounds over their head. Would the weight lifter be stronger if we gave them a weighted belt and a heavy backpack to wear? Of course not.

In fact, if we removed the dead weight, they would be able to preform much better. Similar to BubbleDeck, we remove the weight that solely acts as a barrier in achieving peak performance.
