IN SITU CONCRETE

IN SITU CONCRETE

1. PROCESS: fabrication & assembly of the FORMWORK, placing the reinforcement, pouring concrete into the formwork, vibration, and the curing of the concrete

2. limited time: concrete become harden, unworkable, is placed in the proper position, the air bubbles, the desire finish

   • labour intensive process

3. USES: structural purpose--footing, retaining walls & bespoke structural elements

   • SHOTCRETE: landscapes, swimming pools basement walls

4. JOINTS

   • construction joints
     • divide the construction into smaller and more manageable section of work
   • control joints
     • the temperature differential, the material coefficient, the dimensions of the piece
   • potential weak points(water & moisture control)
