Another application of waffle slab is in the implementation of foundation on clay or expansive soils. Expansive and clayey soils absorb a lot of water when exposed to moisture and so-called swell.

Due to the increase in volume, they put a lot of pressure in one part or in the whole foundation. But by using the waffle slab as a foundation, in addition to increasing the bearing capacity, the grid space under the slab provides a reliable space for the swelling of expanding soils, so that the grid space of the waffle slab increases the volume of clay soils. It accommodates and does not put pressure on the entire foundation.

By using waffle slabs as a foundation, the need for deep excavations and piling in clay soils is eliminated, and foundation operations are performed with less cost and faster. This is in addition to benefits such as reduced concrete consumption and reduced operational costs that we have already listed for waffle slabs.
