Trial pouring of a block verified the workability and feasibility of the proposed concrete matrix composition. To organize monolithic concreting, a huge slab installation of concrete pumps and the facilitation of placing chutes was introduced as well to achieve continuous pouring from the core region ...
Supporting walls.To set the wall forms, we first poured a 24x36-foot thickened-edge monolithic slab, level around the perimeter and sloped in the field to drain toward the drive-in end. We stacked the ICFs 9 feet high, adding horizontal #4 rebar to every other course of the foam blocks...
