Slip Form Constuction.

This document discusses slipform construction, a method for building tall concrete structures like core walls in high-rise buildings. Slipform construction involves a moving form that concrete is continuously poured into. As the concrete hardens, the form slides upwards, eliminating the need for cranes or scaffolding. It allows for fast, continuous construction. The key is using concrete that can gain early strength quickly to support the rising form. Benefits include high production rates, minimizing equipment needs, and improving safety with integrated working platforms. Extensive planning is required to control concrete properties and match the form's movement.

SLIP FORM

CONSTUCTION
A NON-STOP METHOD FOR BUILDING CONCRETE STRUCTURES

WHAT ?

It is a method of vertically extruding a reinforced


concrete section and is suitable for construction of
core walls in high-rise structures lift shafts, stair
shafts, towers, etc. It is a self-contained formwork
system and can require little crane time during
construction.

Slipform construction is a method for building large


towers or bridges from concrete.

The name refers to the moving form the concrete is


poured into, which moves along the project as the
previously poured concrete hardens behind it. The
technique has also been applied to road
construction.

PRINCIPLE

Vertical slip form relies on the quick-setting


properties of concrete requiring a balance
between early strength gain and workability.

Concrete needs to be workable enough to be


placed to the formwork and strong enough to
develop early strength so that the form can slip
upwards without any disturbance to the freshly
placed concrete.

SLIPFORM technology virtually eliminates


unnecessary waste and hazards, making this
construction system even more efficient and
economical.

BENEFITS

Careful planning of construction process can achieve high production


rates

Slip form does not require the crane to move upwards, minimizing crane
use.

Since the formwork operates independently, formation of the core in


advance of the rest of the structure takes it off the critical path
enhancing main structure stability.

Availability of the different working platforms in the formwork system


allows the exposed concrete at the bottom of the rising formwork to be
finished, making it an integral part of the construction process.

Certain formwork systems permit construction of tapered cores and


towers.

Slip form systems require a small but highly skilled workforce on site.

Safety

Working platforms, guard rails, ladders and wind shields are normally
built into the completed system.

Less congested construction site due to minimal scaffolding and


temporary works.

Completed formwork assembly is robust.

Strength of concrete in the wall below must be closely controlled to


achieve stability during operation.

Site operatives can quickly become familiar with health and safety
aspects of their job

High levels of planning and control mean that health and safety are
normally addressed from the beginning of the work.

Other considerations

This formwork is more economical for buildings more than seven


storeys high.

Little flexibility for change once continuous concreting has begun


therefore extensive planning and special detailing are needed.

Setting rate of the concrete had to be constantly monitored to


ensure that it is matched with the speed at which the forms are
raised.

The structure being slipformed should have significant dimensions in


both major axes to ensure stability of the system.

Standby plant and equipment should be available though cold


jointing may occasionally be necessary.
