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
