Referring to a flat slab construction.. With the column designed to higher concrete grade than the slab, current detail shows pouring the portion of the slab around the column with concrete of grade same as that of the column. This is quite difficult to implement on site. Can anyone lead me to...
A method of calculating the required strength of concrete to strike the slab formwork as described in CIRIA 136 is by taking the ratio of the slab selfweight + construction loads to the design loads in comparison with the design concrete strength. I am however dealing with thick transfer slabs...
I am designing the bottom tie support of a single sided formwork with A-frame. I have calculated the horizontal reaction force due to concrete lateral pressure. Can anyone lead me to a reference on how to calculate the vertical force due to uplift?
