HOLLOW CORE Installation ManualNon HOLLOW CORE Installation Manual Hotow Core Sab Site Preparation Concrete Column Casting Hollow Core Slabs have to be installed one floor at a time, Hollow Core slabs instalation team will be able to install the slats once the beam wrk of each floor Is complete, Upon completion of Hollow Cote Installation of each floor, the Bulking contractor ‘can proceed with column constuction on the following fleor, The Main bean Bulding contractor should not cast the adjacent upper floor columns ahead of time untl the lower flor instalation is complete, This Is due to the possitiity of the buldings’ column measurements changing Installation of Hollow Core Floor Slab once the Hollow Core 1s fuly installed, & sight change in the column measurement might cause the Holow Core Slabs to misalign, In STOCK AREA —__adhition, this misalignment can damage the Hollow Core Slabs — = Remark: In general, we can install up to approximately 500m site problern per day if we do not encounter const Storage and Preparation ——————— the Bulding contractor shall submit. construction drawings, installation schedule once construction planning s complete, and designated postion for Hollow Core Slabs to be installed “he Building contractor shall provide adequate space for Hollow Core ‘ruck and crane on installation day, The storage area and designated install positon should be of minimal proximity to each other, Special roads are required to be paved in order to support the weight of the ics and cranes, The Installation area wil Hollow Core delivery tt need to be kept clear of obstructive ard unnecessary objects, BUILDING ‘SERVICE ROAD Remark: The Building contractor will be requed to prepare 9 propor designated area forthe Hollow Core atleast 2 days prior to delivery, The Bulding contractor shall nfowrs the instalation teem of a delivery schedule at least 3 days prior to the desied dat in case of lites on construction sites, Holl “Typical beam may be Installed without site storage preparations, Th ccanlesalinsiag te ifted from the delivery truck and installed, For t bo not overuse the same old because I wll warp. al arrangements tequie delivery Beam Preparations for Hollow Core Slabs ———eee The bear rmust be algned conety with an err alowance of o-2 em, @ Tre bear's level must be postioned correctly acconing to the proposed pan @ The beanng surface of the beam must be smooth and leveled, The cnkractor may use a steel trowel meothen ‘the bear's surface | width of support must Tie beam 7 oe more than 010 m0 Beam with Hollow Core bearing surfaceSpacing out the two panels accoungly highly recommended, Concrete can be pour into the spacelgap or bricks can be lid eo DNAOOO OOOG ‘The top of the beam should be ‘Styrofoam postoned 2 em lower than the base ofthe Holow Cove Slabs 2 om 4 GBOSSGGGOOYoo a so 4 4 aa seam 4 _—————— We mesh 4 mm 20.20" Topping leleleleleleleleler ala} a ey Beam adjacent to the Hollow Core Slabs Grout the gap between the two Hollow Core Slabs wth mortar or concrete key grouting GROUTING TOPPING as @ 020% or WIRE MESH @ 4 mm @020" Neon The Bearing Surface The bearing surface of the beams supporting the Hollow Core Slabs must be bult according to the design and must hhave a smooth and clear surface (they must be free of any debris and foreign objects) 2 em of extra space between the Hollow Core Slabs and the adjacent vertical surface of the beam Is recommended to ensure a proper fit Hollow Core Placement © orc the Hollow Core slabs ate placed in thei proper postions the contactor must inspect, clean and make ary needed adjustments to prevent cracks n the panels Shear Key must be welded prior to grouting to prevent unnecessary debs and otjects from accumulating in the area Hace a 6 mm rebar with @ 0.20 m # gap ontop of the Hollow Core Slabs before concrete topping in accordance to 9 1:24 ‘abo, The compressive strength of the concrete should be no less than 240 fg /ar?.
