7. PROCEDURE
7.1.Cast-In-Place Concrete
1. Concrete placement will be in compliance with ACI 304. We will cast the concrete separately between vertical and
horizontal members considering various aspects, because casting concrete of horizontal members with vertical
members together will result in heavier manpower loading and safety problem. Furthermore, it is structurally not
allowed.
2. When the difference of concrete strength is 1.4 times between vertical member and horizontal member, high
strength concrete should be casted first. Therefore column head, beam and slab together will be poured in same
concrete grade (G28 Mpa) simultaneously. Grade of concrete for column head should be G40 or G45.
3. For curing method, we will use moisture curing for all concrete works. Curing compound will sprayed for 7
consecutive days on concrete upon removal of the forms.
4. Regarding to spacer, the concrete spacer blocks will be used for the soffits of foundations, slabs & beams. The
plastic spacers will be used for the sides of all structural members.
5. “Zoning & Construction Joints” are mentioned as below.
6. Considering the volume of concrete to be casted one time and efficient manpower planning, Zoning Plan for
construction joints is proposed for each floor as per Drawings attached.
7. A sketch of a typical vertical construction joint arrangement is attached. For information. SKETCH-1.
8. The vertical construction joint shall be formed using Hy-rib mesh with rebar support to be tied in place to the
reinforcing cage. As noted on attached sketch SKETCH-1, additional steel will be added as noted.
9. A sketch of a typical horizontal construction joint arrangement is attached. For information. SKETCH-2.
10. Hy-rib mesh shall be used to form the horizontal construction joint in raft foundations and slab pours. As noted on
attached sketch SKETCH-2, additional rebar will be installed as required.
11. Careful measure will be taken to prevent leakage of concrete, throughout the mesh in all construction joints.
12. All construction joints will be cleaned and all loose or foreign materials shall be removed before new concrete is
casted against them.
13. Additional shear steel bars at construction joints instead of shear keyways shall be installed as noted in the
specification in all locations.
14. Bonding agent will be applied on existing concrete surfaces at construction joints that will be joined with fresh
concrete.
15. During casting all construction joints shall be monitored to ensure no movement occur.
16. “LOT NO SYSTEM” is proposed as per attached in order to record and take an inspection conveniently.
17. Concreting will commence after final inspection or receipt of inspection information by Engineer as follows:
18. Prior concreting
19. Inspection and approval of forms and rebar works prior to pour concrete.
20. Notify concrete supplier by method of Concrete Fax Order, with Site Manager Approval signature by 24 Hrs prior to
pour concrete.
21. Concrete grade requirements
22. Notify test laboratory (QA/QC Manager faxes Test Laboratory)
23. Cube moulds, measuring equipment’s, concrete and ambient temperatures thermometers and slump cone with
accessories available.
24. Vibrators and stand-by vibrators are available in case of emergency.
25. Tower Cranes, concrete hoppers and buckets are available as a reserve means of concrete placement.
26. Construction joints are properly prepared
27. Access to place of pour confirmed & ready.
28. Temporary form opening and chutes will be provided to discard waste materials.
29. All imbeds installed and checked.
30. Checking all procedures for pumping concrete in place.
31. All forms will be cleaned prior to casting & all foreign materials shall be removed.
32. No concrete shall be casted before inspections have been completed by the project engineer and approval has
been received by the Engineer.
33. Safe working platforms will be constructed for use by the workers and inspection staff.
34. Access ladders and scaffold shall be provided & maintained.
35. During Pour All alignment, elevations and supports will be checked during casting operations to ensure movement
will not occur.
36. Date and location of the pour is recorded
37. Cubes are casted and cured properly as per contract documents.
38. Obtain approval for concrete curing at site
39. Prepare finishing equipment’s and chemicals where required.
40. Pokers shall penetrate through concrete to the full depth of the wet layer for each portion of pour to ensure full
consolidation and prevention of Honey Comb, and other defects.
41. After Concreting
42. The standard curing method will be arranged by wet absorptive cover and spray water.
43. Loading and traffic will be controlled over surfaces newly concreted.
44. Verify finishes, such as exposed aggregate, smooth etc…
45. No travelling is allowed while bleed water is on surface
7.2.Formwork
1. Basically, to minimize Tower Crane loading, various system forms are proposed. :
2. Using CS (Climbing System) for wall “W3” & “W4 above the ground floor, it is easy to deliver other materials and
keep safety.
3. System form (like Peri form) will be used for Concrete column.
4. Prefabricated large panel form will be used for retaining wall at the basement floor.
5. Metriform formwork system will be used for Slab and perimeter beam as much as possible.
6. Lifting of Climbing Forms to Upper Floors:
7. This system form will be used for WALL “W3” & “W4”to be formed quickly and safely. Two tower cranes will be
used for lifting formwork materials to the upper floors. The standard height of climbing form is 4,500 mm and it can
be adjustable to some extent by using additional panel.
8. Stage 1:Form poured ready to strip
9. Stage 2: Removal ties, pull away shutter on climbing bracket using sliding unit. Install climbing cone
10. Stage 3: Lift form to next level. Set the form on the climbing cone and lock with safety pin.
11. Stage 4: Pull landing platform shutter away from wall and lift to next level. Landing platform automatically locates
into box-out
12. Stage 5: With shutters in “set back” position they can be cleaned and oiled, (landing platform shutter is cleaned
from climbing bracket).Reinforcement can also be fixed.
13. Stage 6: Add box-out former. Move forms back into position
14. Install ties
15. Check for plumb and alignment.
16. Forms ready for concreting
17. Column Form:
18. This system form will be used for all columns. Two tower cranes will be used for lifting and closing formwork
materials to the upper floors.
19. Early striking. Early striking is a technique whereby the formwork is removed 2 to 4 days after pouring a slab, but
the supporting structure of scaffolding or props remains undisturbed until the concrete is strong enough to support
its own weight over its full span.
20. Work sequence as follows;
21. Mark line of position for waffle beam on the floor
22. Put the base plate on the marking line
23. Install cuplok scaffolding for slab and beam formwork
24. Put metriform drophead into the top of scaffolding
25. Install metriform primary beam between metriform dropheads
26. Install metriform infill beam between metriform primary beam
27. Fix the plywood with nail on the metriform formwork
28. Mark line of position for waffle mould on the plywood
29. Set up the waffle mould on the plywood
30. Apply form oil on the formwork
31. Fix re-bar
32. Install M&E conduit pipe and lighting box
33. Casting concrete
34. Conventional Plywood forms:
35. Conventional plywood forms will be erected in compliance with the following ACI 347 limits. Shores and struts will
be provided sufficiently and at the required interval to prevent excessive settlement or failure of formwork.
36. In the case of concrete exposed to view, form ties will be arranged in an orderly pattern and every corner will be
chamfered with 20 mm x 20 mm PVC strips to procedure uniformly straight lines.
37. After being stripped from the concrete, plywood panel surfaces will be cleaned and coated with the appropriate
amount of form-coating compounds according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
38. Reshoring:
39. Reshoring of beams and slabs will be done with a maximum spacing in each direction of 3 m right after the original
shoring is moved. For reshoring, conventional type supports will be used rather than system forms.
40. On the floor below the floor being constructed, 100% of reshoring supports need to be maintained according to the
specifications. On the second floor and third floor below the floor being constructed, two-thirds and one-thirds of
reshoring supports need to be maintained respectively. This means that reshoring is installed to some extent on
three floors immediately below the one being placed.
41. Tolerance: Surveying and adjustment: survey after and before casting and adjust properly.
a. Camber: maintain ±3mm until vertical support is dismantled.
b. Finishing line: Before dismantling form and supports, maintain the finishing line within these tolerances.
i. all dimensions(over 3m) : 6mm
ii. all dimensions(under 3m) : 3mm
iii. column : 6mm
iv. Verticality(total height) : 19mm
v. Floor: sudden irregularities not permitted.
7.3.Reinforcing Bars
1. The standard height of column form is 3,600 mm. However, form panels will disintegrated into pieces so that it will
be possible to be integrated to the desirable height in order to fit into the floor more or less than 3,600 mm. Also
plywood will be used as supplementary form for column-beam connections.
 2. Column form shall be a system form like the Peri panel that is composed of 2 pieces of L shape. For the using of
metriform formwork system for slab and beam, assembling and dismantling of column form should be very quickly.
Application of system form comparing with general conventional type form is quick.
3. Slab formwork:
4. As we believe that the best form work system for slab and beam is system form for this proposed structure (low
depth of perimeter beam, waffle slab structure etc.), at this moment, we made conclusion of the concreting
separately between vertical and horizontal member considering various aspects, because casting concrete
horizontal member together with vertical member will result in heavier manpower loading and safety problem.
5. Metriform formwork system (SGB – Cuplok support system) for slab form is the best for this project, because beam
& slab type is waffle slab and the depth of perimeter beams are not big - the deference between slab thickness and
beam depth is not big -, which means that stripping system form will not be difficult.
6. Metriform formwork system for slab form has an advantage like simplicity, accuracy, safety, design and especially
7. Fabrication:
8. The most of rebar will be fabricated at the factory. The rebar fabrication area is located at site for the missing and
shortage purposes. Rebar’s will be cut and bent to the correct details based on the approved shop drawings.
9. In case of frustration for supply of rebar’s occurred in market, the rebar fabrication will be implemented at site.
10. Rebar’s which have a diameter of 12mm or greater will be fabricated by using of bending machines with approved
fabrication tolerance under supervision of rebar subcontractors. Fabricated rebar will be stored in a neat and tidy
manner and according to contract documents.
11. The cut and bent rebar will be made up into bundles of the appropriate weight and then transported to the site
according to the installation schedule. Each bundle of rebar shall be shipped to the site with a tag indicating the
relevant information.
12. Unloading & Hoisting of Rebar’s on site:
13. Two tower cranes will be used for the installation of the fabricated rebar. Some of the rebar’s will be hoisted directly
to several distributed points on the floor or to the working platforms where rebar installation work is taking place
and others will be hoisted after being assembled at site.
14. Rebar Installing:
15. The rebar installation procedure will be supervised by the site engineers of Daewoo E& C. Co, Ltd. Each position of
site engineer has a duplicate staff, thus night time rebar’s installation will cause no problem in items of supervision.
16. Columns and beams rebar’s will be assembled as far as possible mainly at the Stock Yard and then hoisted to the
designated place by tower cranes using D-shackles and chains to hold the rebar configuration in place. If
necessary, supplement bars or angles will be added temporarily to increase rigidity of the prefabricated rebar.
Because of the congestion of rebar’s within column, a part of beam rebar’s still need to be assembled in place.
17. Column rebar will be also assembled to some extent at the Stock Yard. Column main bars will be tied completely
with column ties before being hoisted by tower cranes and positioned to the designated places. To hold pre-
assembled rebar’s in place tying shall be done.
18. Wall & slab rebar’s will be usually hoisted as bundles carried from the stock yard and installed manually by steel
fixers. However, if the site condition allows, a portion of wall rebar might be temporarily assembled at the stock
yard for efficient installation.
19. Rebar will be tied firmly with approved wires at the designated spots. Approved supports, chairs and spacers with
various shapes and dimensions will be placed underneath or at sides of rebar’s to ensure the correct concrete
cover required in the contract documents, for each structural element.
20. The prefabricated rebar cages shall be tied firmly to keep rebar configuration undisturbed during the hoisting
operations.
