Using slipform in tower construction
Using slipform in tower construction
(OP)
Hi everybody, I am supervisor of a reinforced concrete tower, the
contractor uses slipform as formwork of all the vertical elements
like shear walls, core walls and columns, it can not pour concrete
more than one floor height in one time casting because of installing
stirrups and other horizontal steel bars through it and some other difficulties .I think the
construction is not proceeding at a good pace and maybe it is better
to use slipform only for walls. I will appreciate if you tell me your experience about the issue.

have been monolithic with columns by installing pull out bars in the forms of columns . The reasons of using slip form ( for contractor)
is the low cost of slip form in the area and the big dimensions of columns (about 80*220 cm.), but when it casts concrete only for one floor height it acts like jumping form and the difficulties of horizontal steel bars (relating to slip form)are exist.Thanks for your next comments.
