RE: Long slab
I think we need a little more information to give you an answer.
RE: Long slab
In the one day I am going to pure column and other day slab.
How better doing there?
Thanks. Yevgen
RE: Long slab
I can't see why you need a superflat floor in an appartment building, do we have a problem in our use of terms? Virtually all the superflat floors I've seen have been used in warehouses.
However, based on the superflat floors I've seen, they are generally poured 12' - 15' wide by the full length of the building 200' - 500' long. It takes a pretty large crew to install a superflat floor, because the floor is struck off twice and then bullfloated twice - once in each direction. That is the reason for the narrow pour width, so the crews can reach across the pour with long handles on their bullfloats.
I'm sure you can get informatin on the web regarding superflat floor installation. In addition to superflat, look under "Face" and "Flatness" and "profilograph".
Once the floor is poured and finished cut the control joints ASAP. The best system, if it is available, is to use the "SoftCut" saw. You can cut the joints right after you are done troweling the slab.
Wet cure the floor 3-7 days then apply a cure & seal agent. If you are working in an enclosed area, then you can use a waterbased cure & seal so that you don't have to deal with the odor and air quality problems.
Hope this is some help.

And what about monolitic flat slab 200'x(20'-40')x8" (not SUPERflat), which is opened from each side and is standing on columns. Gaps between columns near 20'. Where better start puring: from the center to the edges, from one edge to another, or from opposit edges to center, if I can use two pump. And what critical moments might occure during this time?
Thanks.

RE: Long slab
I would also submit your pouring sequence to the Engineer-of-Record for review and approval. He is the person most familiar with the structural requirements and design of the building so, he should be given the opportunity to review your pouring plan. He can tell if there are any areas of special concern during the pouring operations. He won't take responsibility for the shoring or the construction work, it isn't his job to do so, but he should review your proposed pouring sequence to see that it is not in conflict with his design assumptions.
RE: Long slab
Yes, we are doing shoring and bracing. We did not do slab longer 100' before and I am interesting in specific moments to do that slab monolitic.

RE: Long slab
Your shoring system, whether wood, metal or otherwise must be able to handle all loads you could expect to place on it. If you are not confident in the design, you need to find a local Formwork/Falsework/Shoring Contractor and have their engineers review the system, or design an appropriate system.
Earlier, when you said expansion joint, did you mean construction joint, or pour break?
Good luck, and keep posting.
