    The document discusses site cast concrete, which is concrete that is cast and cured on the construction site using formwork. It describes the materials, methods, and processes used for site cast concrete structures, including concrete mix design, formwork, reinforcement, joints, finishing, and regulatory considerations. The advantages of site cast concrete include its sculptural possibilities, structural efficiency, energy efficiency of production, and durability.

    Concrete formwork

     Concrete formwork
     Lumber & plywood
     Sheet steel & angles
     Glass fiber reinforced plastic

     Forms must be treated with release agent


    before placing concrete and stripped when
    concrete has cured

     Formwork design is responsibility of contractor

    Principles of reinforcing concrete

     Proper reinforcement requires an adequate


    amount of steel placed in the correct location
     Locate reinforcing bars where element is placed in
    tension.
     Locate stirrups near the ends of beams to resist
    shear forces.

     Adequate concrete cover to protect rebar


    from corrosion

    Shoring & reshoring

     Adjustable temporary shoring is used to


    support formwork concrete for elevated
    concrete structures.
     Re-shoring is used to support two curing
    floors after formwork is stripped.

    Advantages of site cast concrete


    Sculptural possibilities (“can do almost anything”)
    form
    surface texture
    Economical and structurally efficient when a
    standardized framing system is used
    More energy efficient to produce than steel
    Long-lasting
    Concrete is generally produced and available locally

    22
    Disadvantages

    Long on-site erection time


    prone to weather related delays
    Non-standardized construction can be very expensive.

    Girders, beams & slabs

    Depth of girders, beams and slabs vary based on:


     frame design strategy
     method of reinforcement
    Use Appendix B as a guide

    Estimate depth of slab if Span A = 40 ft.

    25
    Estimate depth of slab if Span A = 40 ft.

    Assume post-tensioned slab. (Why?)

    Slab thickness = Span = .8 ft, or 10-1/2 in.
