Preface
The growth of construction in the 20th century is comparable to its progress today. In recent years, construction technology has become more important in reducing overall costs, as the structure of the construction accounts for a large part of the cost of the job. -system.
This book has three purposes. The first of these is to provide a technical description and evaluation of ten performance systems used in concrete structures. Second, it serves as a tool to help investors choose the best operating system. The third step involves establishing standard methods for panel and wall construction, which incorporate stress and stress-induced changes as outlined in the National Design Specifications (NDS) and the American Plywood Association (APA). After the full introduction, chapters 2-5. The sections present various types of plate-making systems. These are standard wooden structures, standard steel structures, articulated connections, column systems, and tunnels. The final four paragraphs outline various methods for forming concrete columns and walls, including the standard wooden structure, the wooden structure, the photo spring method, the sliding method, and the expansion method. Issues such as system components, typical operating conditions, efficiency, and the advantages and disadvantages associated with the use of different systems receive particular attention.
Choosing an operating system is a big decision with big consequences. We must pay close attention to system productivity, security, durability, and many other variables that may be specific to the location or task at hand. Chapters 5 and 9 present a comparative analysis of horizontal and vertical concrete work systems to facilitate the selection of the best construction method.
Consolidate Concrete
Consolidation is the process of compacting or striking concrete to shape it within the forms, surround embedded inserts, and reinforce it.
Additionally, it eliminates protrusions and depressions. Hand tools or mechanical vibrators typically execute the consolidation of concrete to ensure a dense structure.
Conclude the concrete work.
This activity involves the treatment of exposed concrete surfaces to achieve the intended appearance, texture, or durability characteristics. Typically, one executes the finishing of concrete by sawing a straight edge across its surface.
Curing Concrete
The solidification of concrete is a chemical reaction that necessitates heat and humidity. This process entails hydrating concrete using water, steam, or alternative techniques to mitigate shrinkage and facilitate the attainment of adequate early strength. When the rapid development of concrete strength is critical, we employ steam curing. Upon curing of the concrete, the subsequent phase of the formwork lifecycle involves the stripping of forms. The activities of curing concrete and stripping forms are interchangeable based on the type of structural element.
For instance, slabs and beams cure both before and after the removal of the forms, whereas columns and walls cure after the removal of the forms.
