Placing of Concrete

Concrete must be placed systematically to achieve optimal results. There are several methods for placing concrete, including within earth molds, with large earth molds or timber forms, and in layers within timber or steel shutters. Proper preparation is required before placing concrete, such as removing loose earth, cutting tree roots, and adjusting the moisture level of the surface. Concrete can also be placed under water using bottom slurry buckets or tremie pipes, which allow concrete to be deposited slowly under water.

PLACING OF CONCRETE

Placing of concrete

Concrete must be placed in a systematic manner to yield optimum results

Some situation where we used provide concrete

Placing concrete within earth mould

Placing concrete with large earth mould or timber plank form work

Placing concrete in layers with in timber or steel shutter

Placing concrete with in usual form work

Placing concrete under water

Placing concrete within earth mould

Concrete is invariably as foundation bed below the walls and columns

Before placing concrete

All loose earth must be removed

Roots of trees must be cut

If surface is dry must be made just damp

If it is too wet or rain soaked the water slush must be removed

Placing concrete with large earth mould or timber plank form work

For construction of road slabs,air field slabs and ground floor slabs in building conc os placed in
this method

The ground surface must be free from loose earth pool of water ,grass or roots or leaves

The earth must be compacted well


Poly ethylene film is used in between conc ground to avoid absorption of moisture

Concrete is laid alternative layers to give enough scope for shrinkage

Placing concrete in layers with in timber or steel shutter

This can be used in the following cases


Dam construction

Construction of concrete abutments

Raft for a high rise building

The thickness of layers depend on

Method of compaction
Size of vibrator
Frequency of vibrator used

It is good for laying 15 to 30 cm thick layer of concrete ,for mass concrete it may varie from 35
to 45 cm

Its better to leave the top of the layer rough so that succeeding layer can have the good bond

Placing concrete with in usual form work

This can be adopt for Column ,beam and floors

Rules that should be followed while placing the concrete

 Check the reinforcements are correctly tied and placed

 Check the reinforcement is having appropriate cover

 The joints between plywood’s or sheets properly plugged

 Mould releasing agent should be applied

The concrete must be placed very care fully a small quantity at a time so that they will not block
the entry of subsequent concrete
Placing concrete under water

Concrete is often required to be placed under water or I a trench filled with slurry

In such a cases use of bottom slurry buckets or termic pipes are used

In the bottom bucket concrete is taken through water in a water tight box or bucket reaching final
place of deposition

The bottom is made to open by some mechanism and the whole concrete is dumped slowly.
