Precast concrete up to that time was largely specified for making reconstructed stone panels, paving slabs and decorative features. Now it was used as the replacement for cast in place concrete in many European countries, ensuring the integrity of surface appearance with off-site manufacture. Precast concrete’s popularity grew, the product range increased and many new precast companies started up. Colour, surface texture, light and shade profiling and bas relief effects plus plasticity of form and large panel construction gave architects a design freedom that was not possible with cast in place concrete. Better material understanding, researches into surface durability, improved standards of manufacture and production continues to position precast concrete as the premier product for surface appearance in Northern Europe but it comes with a warning. It can be prohibitively expensive in some countries and is not always a popular choice. In today’s building markets, reflected by its share of the architectural cladding market, popularity of precast concrete varies dramatically across Europe. In the UK for example it is considered the most expensive, heavy-weight cladding option for a façade. Its market share is less than 2% of the cladding market. In Finland precast concrete takes 33% of the total building market and is the most dominant material for cladding multi-storey residential buildings (97%) because it is the cheapest and most efficient method of construction. Precast market situations in Sweden and Denmark echo the trend in Finland. In researching the material for this book this startling difference in market share became all too transparent. Market share is higher where the price of precast cladding panels is low or competitive with alternatives – that is obvious. What is not are the reasons for these big differences. In Finland to keep precast prices competitive architects and specifiers must choose standard products from manufacturer catalogues. To do otherwise would incur large surcharges of up to 300% for bespoke production. The design of precast structural and façade elements is carried out by structural engineers and architects working to guidelines given in the precast product literature. The precast manufacturer concentrates solely on the production and supply of units to the site. They use flat bed casting methods that are semi-automated and highly mechanised, employing the minimum of labour to keep costs down. The precast prices are based on high volumes and standardisation of the product range. They are not involved in the site assembly and erection of precast units. That is carried out by the main contractor who is familiar with precast composite construction. The preferred choice of construction of residential buildings in Finland is precast floor planks with precast load-bearing façade panels. When looking at residential architecture in Finland you become aware of the similarity of composition, the standardisation of façade panel construction and how creative architects can be within these tight parameters: a very compelling argument that good design need not be expensive. 6 By contrast the architectural cladding market in the UK is the total opposite. There is no standardisation of façade elements industrywide or from one project to the next. Architects and designers are free to scheme their layouts, unique to their own project. They are encouraged to use the same panel unit and assembly arrangement to reduce the cost of mould making, but that is often not possible. The façade units are designed by the precast company who usually erect and assemble the units as a total supply and install package. Consequently the precast company will carry a lot more overheads and risk. By encouraging bespoke, non- standard units to be specified, they attract a much higher price in production. Each precast company will have their own connection detail and fixing arrangements. As a result we see exuberance, expressive and flamboyant architecture that comes at a price premium, but there are examples where restraint and rigour has given a fine quality to the structure. They all have one thing in common – they are all different and that perhaps is the telling attraction and appeal of British precast architecture. As a result of these divergent market conditions, the architecture will differ in scope and aspirations from one country to the next. Precast design reflects the economic constraints on local production as much as the self-conscious attempts by architects to imbue artistic endeavour, context, creative inspiration and ordered formality into the functional purpose of a building. This collection of projects from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Scotland and England shows how precast concrete in all its different forms, modes and finishes can be brought together creatively and thoughtfully. Some make use of bold vibrant colours and shapes, some draw expression from restraint and tautness of standardised components, while others show how light-weight glass fibre reinforced concrete and the new ultra high strength precast CRC and Ductal® products offer new possibilities in precast architecture. Each project has been reviewed as a case study with illustrations and descriptions on how it was designed and built and how the precast elements were specified. While the examples are not a definitive list, they have been recognised for their excellence of concrete expression. The section on materials and methods will provide the reader with information on the many different ways to precast concrete and the many choices of surface finish, texture and profiling that are possible. I am indebted to all the architects and precast manufacturers who gave up their time to share their knowledge with me. I wish to thank those organisations and individuals who helped to make the research to this book possible by arranging my visits to each country.

However, as wind turbines become bigger, and potential sites for offshore wind farms are located in ever deeper waters and ever further from the shore, the conditions for the design, transport, and installation of support structures are changing. In light of these facts, this paper identifies and categorizes the challenges and future trends related to the use of concrete for support structures of future offshore wind projects. To do so, recent advances and technologies still under development for both bottom-fixed and floating concrete support structures have been reviewed. It was found that these new developments meet the Citation: Mathern, A.; von der Haar, challenges associated with the use of concrete support structures, as they will allow the production C.; Marx, S.

Common to all these technologies is that the material is applied in horizontal layers. In this paper, a novel 3D concrete printing technology is presented which challenges this principle: the so-called Injection 3D Concrete Printing (I3DCP) technology is based on the concept that a fluid material (M1) is robotically injected into a material (M2) with specific rheological properties, causing material M1 to maintain a stable position within material M2. Different to the layered deposition of horizontal strands, intricate concrete structures can be created through printing spatially free trajectories, that are unconstrained by gravitational forces during printing. In this paper, three versions of this method were investigated, described, and evaluated for their potential in construction: A) injecting a fine grain concrete into a non-hardening suspension; B) injecting a non-hardening suspension into a fine grain concrete; and C) injecting a fine grain concrete with specific properties into a fine grain concrete with different properties.

    Introduction to BubbleDeck BubbleDeck® is a pre-fabricated structure with superior characteristics to solid slab. Plastic balls serve the purpose of eliminating concrete which has weight but no carrying effect. BubbleDeck can reduce construction material weight up to 50%. ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES The amount of materials - concrete, columns, rebar, transfer beams and other materials is reduced by up to 50%: 1 kg recycled plastic replaces 100 kg concrete. Slabs are factory produced and shipped to site as required. Transportation costs are substantially reduced. Shoring is considerably reduced and BubbleDeck slabs replace expensive formwork. Pre-fabrication and easy installation result in faster construction time. Less man hours equals lower costs and overhead. Clients get a design they want for a better price. Interior finishing is less costly. Life span of buildings is greater. The potential saving of a building designed in BubbleDeck is 25% of the structural cost. SUPERIOR DESIGN BubbleDeck allows for superior design flexibility - dramatic architectual shapes, larger spans and overhangs.No dr op beams or carrying walls and fewer columns are required allowing for spa- cious and flexible interior layouts. Interior layouts are easily altered throughout a BubbleDeck building's lifetime. BubbleDeck conforms to engineering designs and building codes, has less weight and less seismic load. Build what you want not what you must - BubbleDeck has you thinking outside the box. THE GREEN DECK Less energy consumption - in production, transportation and construction. Less emissions - ex- haust gases and vapors during production, transport and on-site; (CO2 and other emissions - re- duced up to 50%). Less material consumption - cement, aggregates, water, steel.

  • Review on Bubble Deck Slabs Technology and Their Applications
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 Review On Bubble Deck Slabs Technology And Their Applications Samantha.Konuri, Dr.T.V.S.Varalakshmi Abstract: A structural system of Tremendous importance in constructions are slabs or floor systems, it is called two dimensional slab structural elements, where the third dimension is small compared with the other two basic dimensions. Loads acting perpendicular slabs, to the flat principal, may be from different shapes Y configurations relying on the need for which apply at all times seeks to make them lighter but covering the greatest possible distances and always seeking to improve productivity and energy savings in construction. A widely used type slabs are currently slabs reinforced concrete, these systems have several advantages such as high resistance to compressive stresses and flexural actions, in addition to a particularly low value in the construction of the elements. However, it has certain disadvantages in terms of weight and maintenance of structures, renovation in large- scale constructions. In this area, the mid-20th century systems relieved hollow concrete slabs were created in order to reduce high ratios weight- resistance of conventional systems. These systems reduce or change the concrete within the middle of the slab by a lighter material to from reduce the weight own from the structure. But nevertheless these relieved as in slabs reduce the strength thereof before exposure to shear forces and fire. In the early 90s German engineer Jorgen Breuning found a way to improve these drawbacks in slabs, linking the air space, steel and concrete in a hollow slab bidirectional, using spheres made of plastic thus giving rise to the BDT.

  • Structural Design of Underground Garage - Breadth
    Residence Inn By Marriott 2345 Mill Rd, Alexandria, VA Julia E. Phillips Construction Management Analysis 1: Structural Design of Underground Garage - Breadth Background The underground garage is entirely constructed of cast in place concrete with an 8” slab and 5.5” drop panels at the columns totaling a 13.5” slab at the deepest sections. The cast in place floor area was averaged to 14,700 SF per floor. The rebar in the beams was estimated by the specifications in the drawings by using 2/3 the length of the beam for the top rebar and the full length for the bottom rebar. An original floor plan can be found in Appendix D. This system was designed to minimize the floor depth, to be able to help maximize the total number of floors in the building, enabling construction of 15 floors compared to 14 floors. Unexpected water problems associated with excavation pushed the project behind schedule. The added time for curing the cast in place concrete to the full 28 day strength only slowed the project more. The project has a relatively tight schedule of approximately a year and a half, so any time that can be saved once the schedule is behind, needs to be saved or the project will not finish on time. One possible solution is to switch the cast in place concrete to a Filigree concrete system. Filigree virtually eliminates formwork and is very easy and quick to install. This system uses a small amount of shoring to support the pre-stressed prefabricated Filigree panels. The Filigree panels once supported act as the “formwork” for the topping slab that ties the system together structurally.
