Voided biaxial slabs are reinforced concrete slabs in which voids reduce the amount of concrete.

While concrete has been used for thousands of years, the use of reinforced concrete is a relatively recent invention, usually attributed to Joseph-Louis Lambot in 1848. Joseph Monier, a French gardener, patented a design for reinforced garden tubs in 1868, and later patented reinforced concrete beams and posts for railway and road guardrails.

The main obstacle with concrete constructions, in case of horizontal slabs, is the high weight, which limits the span. For this reason major developments of reinforced concrete have focused on enhancing the span, either by reducing the weight or overcoming concrete's natural weakness in tension

Difference between uniaxial and biaxial crystals?

Uniaxial crystals have one optic axis, where the refractive index is the same in all directions perpendicular to it. Biaxial crystals have two optic axes, with different refractive indices along each direction. This causes different light paths and behaviors in biaxial crystals compared to uniaxial ones.

What joints are biaxial hinge joints?

Biaxial joints allow for movement in two planes or axes. A common example of a biaxial joint is the wrist, which allow for movement side to side, and also allows for movement up and down. It can be difficult to determine whether a joint is biaxial or multiaxial, because when the biaxial joint moves in both directions at the same time, it appears to have the multiaxial quality of being able to move in any plane or axes.
