Abstract: This paper compares the thermal performances of single hollow (SHS) and double hollow concrete slabs (DHS) from three points of view: (i) the overall reduction in heat flux, (ii) load levelling and (iii) the phase difference. It is seen that, for the same total thickness of concrete (i) a DHS performs only slightly better than an SHS as far as the overall reduction in heat flux is concerned, (ii) for load levelling, a DHS is superior to an SHS, (iii) neither the SHS nor the DHS introduces any additional appreciable phase difference compared with a single concrete slab (SS).
