Set Out Columns Contract For Free

Setting out is bringing the dimensions from a plan to the real situation. The activity consists of establishing the exact location and measurements of the house to be built. The first activity of setting out is to clear the ground of any debris, vegetation and other obstructions.

Unlike traditional cast-in-place (CIP) concrete structures, PC structures have concrete elements prefabricated in a factory. These precast columns and beams are then connected on site with only a small amount of concrete casting or grouting work.

Pouring the Concrete: Start pouring the concrete from the bottom of the column, working your way up. Use a funnel, chute, or tremie pipe to direct the concrete into the column to minimize segregation and ensure proper compaction. Avoid pouring the concrete from too high, as it can cause segregation and air entrapment.

In summary, to cast a concrete column, it is necessary to prepare the formwork, place the reinforcement, pour and compact the concrete, remove the formwork, and finally, properly cure the column to ensure its strength and durability.

Construction of RCC columns involve following four steps: Column layouts. Column reinforcement work. Column formwork. Pouring of concrete.

Two end & two side planks are attached with the yokes and bolts. Before placing column formwork, verify that steel for the column is checked and cleared for casting. Place formwork for the column from prearranged grids. Plumb formwork both ways and safely support with modifiable steel props.

Struts, galvanized wire, turnbuckles, angle brackets, screws, nails and clamps. Useful materials to adjust the form and keep the section constant avoiding misalignment.
