Download or read book The Viability of Using Slipform Concrete Construction Technique as an Alternative to Conventional Formwork in the Naval Construction Forces written by Mark Eugene Banks and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portland Cement Concrete has been used in the construction industry for approximately 120 years to provide a strong, durable and relatively long life structure. The desire to replace the non-reusable plywood forms in vertical construction and the heavy steel forms used in the construction of pavements has prompted many individuals to seek alternative methods. Slipform construction is an alternative which has been very successful in the private sector and the idea of employing this rapid construction technique in the U.S. Navy is investigated in pages that follow. The report begins with a cursory review of basic concrete design principles to establish a starting point. An indepth look at the vertical slipform technique is presented with particular attention being taken to accentuate the requirement for highly skilled labor to make the system work efficiently. A discussion of the conventional method of paving concrete roads is presented followed by an address concerning the horizontal slipform technique.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laboratory investigation was conducted to study applications of the slipforming technique in mass concrete construction. Opposite sides of large blocks (3 by 6 by 10 ft high (0.9 by 1.8 by 3.0 m)) were slipformed in a specially fabricated test frame using mass concrete mixtures. Variables included casting temperature, type and maximum size of aggregate, use of a lubricating admixture, slipping rate, type of form anchors, and type of slipform surface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Testing concrete while construction is underway enables decisions to be made which can improve the quality of the finished structure. The book covers testing and measuring techniques for fresh concrete and concrete during the first few days after placing, and for reinforcement and prestressing tendons. Many examples are given of practical methods which can be applied directly during concrete construction to improve quality. It forms the Proceedings of the International RILEM Workshop in Mainz, Germany, March 1990.

Download or read book Innovative Materials and Techniques in Concrete Construction written by Michael N. Fardis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen enormous advances in the technology of concrete as a material, through which its strength, compactness and ductility can reach levels never dreamed of before. Thanks to these improved material properties, the strength and durability of concrete structures is greatly improved, their weight and dimensions reduced, the scope of concrete as a structural material is widened and – despite the higher material costs – overall economy is possible, with positive impacts on sustainability as well. Similar advances are underway in reinforcing materials, notably high strength steel and fibre-reinforced polymers, and in the way they are combined with concrete into high performance structures. Developments in materials and equipment, as well as new concepts, have lead to innovative construction techniques, reducing cost and construction time and making possible the application of concrete under extreme conditions of construction or environment. All these advances will be highlighted in the book by the top experts in the field of concrete structures, namely those currently active in the field’s leading and truly international scientific and technical association: the International Federation of Structural Concrete (fib) www.fib-international.org. Audience: Practicing engineers and firms, academics, researchers and graduate students, will all find the book timely, informative and very interesting.

Download or read book Field Study of Air Content Stability in the Slipform Paving Process written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated the impacts of construction on the air content and air-void system structure of Portland cement concrete pavements. The primary intent was to quantify the air content of fresh concrete before and after it has gone through the slipform paver. The air-void system parameters of hardened concrete were then assessed using cast and extracted core specimens. The results of the air content testing on fresh concrete and the concrete cylinder specimens cast in the field suggested that there is some loss of air as the concrete passes through the paver. Laboratory testing performed on cores extracted from the pavement did not provide any conclusive evidence that entrained air is lost during the slipform paving process. In fact, many of the extracted cores had measured air content values that were much higher than the specification requirement. If excessive, this could result in increased permeability and low-strength related issues. Although a rigorous statistical analysis was not performed, the results suggest that the air content testing on fresh concrete is not capturing the true air content of the concrete placed with a slipform paver. The fresh concrete air content is generally lower than the air content measured in the cores.
