Abstract: A connecting and plugging element for modular floor construction comprising a modular element having a substantially U-shaped cross section defined by two lateral walls connected by an arched surface, and further having two head walls each connecting the two lateral walls on opposing sides of the modular element. The connecting and plugging element is preferably made of a thermoplastic material, and the two lateral walls and one of the head walls may have free edges that extend to form an enlarged bearing base with holes for connecting to the floor base and also with couplers or relieves for connecting to reinforcing bars or to adjacent connecting and plugging elements.

Abstract: A re-usable modular formwork comprising at least one panel having edge ribs and transversal ribs, each of the ribs comprising two parallel walls perpendicular to the formwork panel and preferably perpendicular to the walls of the rib and to the panel. Said ribs are disposed along the perimeter of the panel and transversally to the panel. Other ribs of smaller height may be positioned diagonally within the square or rectangular areas delimited by the edge ribs and the transversal ribs. Where two or more main transversal ribs and/or edge ribs intersect, these ribs have rounded joints. Centrally in said rounded joints, there is an opening for introducing a containing rod. Other openings may be present on the edge ribs for inserting and locking closing keys.

Abstract: A connecting and plugging element for modular floor construction comprising a linear element having a substantially U-shaped cross section defined by two lateral walls connected by an arched surface, and further having two head walls each connecting the two lateral walls on opposing sides of the linear element. The connecting and plugging element is preferably made of a thermoplastic material, and the two lateral walls and one of the head walls may have free edges that extend to form an enlarged bearing base with holes for connecting to the floor base and also with couplers or relieves for connecting to reinforcing bars or to adjacent connecting and plugging elements.
