I've been needed to get a suspended slab for a block of land I have and I've been trying to research different and cheaper methods...
I've been reading about the properties of concrete and compared them to ABS plastic. It's looks as though ABS is superior in nearly every way. The only disadvantage I see is how ABS handles when exposed to weather but what if I use it in a composite? ABS on the bottom and another weather resistant material on top?
So would it be feasible to make a suspended slab (composite on top) out of ABS plastic?
It's lighter, cheaper labor cost, easier to work with, can easily replace a whole section and it's never been done before....
