Floating slab is a type of mat foundation. It consists of a hollow mat formed by a grid of thick reinforced concrete walls between two thick reinforced concrete slabs. The weight of the soil excavated from the ground is equal to the weight of the entire building, so that pressure on the soil is unchanged from the original condition, making the building float on the soil
no matter how big the concrete slab is, it will never float
the structure floating around un the cell are called This answer is incoherent or incomplete
yes
Pouring a concrete slab is the pouring of a fresh unset concrete mix into a prepared area, where it is finished by floating etc to give the required surface, and it sets to form a slab.
In laymen's terms, yes. Many people use the terms Slab-on-grade & Floating Slab interchangeably. However, architects, engineers, and construction workers may have a more refined interpretation. Most commonly, a Slab-on-grade construction refers to a foundation in which the a concrete slab (also most commonly thickened at the perimeter) rest directly on grade (aka ground). Where as a Floating Slab foundation refers to a concrete slab resting directly on the grade independently placed within a stem wall (aka foundation wall), which extends down to the depth of the local frost line, running around the entire perimeter. The walls of the building/structure are then built upon this "stem wall". This latter type of construction creates a 'heat bubble' so that the floor is not as subject to the expansion due to frost and secures the structures walls by being supported below the frost line.
Floating slab foundations can be challenging in cold climates because they are more susceptible to frost heave, where the soil expands due to freezing temperatures. This can cause the foundation to shift or crack. Proper insulation and depth below the frost line can help mitigate these issues.

If it is a free floating slab, not tied to the house, you could probably have it mud jacked on the low side depending on what is beside it,
Guys its obviousley because it was to creepy for kids freaky fred,perfect blue thing,slab guy,floating white head thing
Supended slab are slab not sit on the ground directlySuspended slab is a slab supported by beams.
Continental plates move due to the process of plate tectonics. This movement is driven by thermal convection currents in the Earth's mantle, causing plates to either spread apart at divergent boundaries, collide at convergent boundaries, or slide past each other at transform boundaries. The interaction of these plates results in various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formations.
