Insights into Concrete Forming, Reinforcing, and Pouring in Building Construction

The goal of this paper is to yield insights into the forming, reinforcing, and pouring concrete buildings, focusing on design, functionality, failure, safety aspects. construction process has different moving parts along form–pour–strip cycle, authors aimed analyze information pertaining formwork rebar reasons for failures hardening concrete, various hazards jobsites, safe work practices. intent study was seek experiences industry professionals above-stated In total, five well-experienced working in were interviewed. Through comparative analysis interview results, able gather valuable data related designs system rebars, field practices, jobsite hazards, requirements. Interview results revealed that functionality applied loads are determining factors any design considerations when it comes rebars buildings. Another finding a project does not wait element reach its full compressive strength at 28 days before proceeding with since can hold most after 3 or 4 days. addition, which occur buildings result breakdown, defective layout, damage due corroded inadequate curing procedure. Lastly, single leading hazard during works heights be minimized using fall arrest systems engineered guardrails improved safety.
