cast-in-place/poured-in-place concrete Explanation: Cast-in-place concrete, also known as poured-in-place, is a concreting technique which is undertaken in situ or in the concrete component’s finished position. Cast-in-place concrete is the preferred choice for concrete slabs and foundations, as well as components such as beams, columns, walls, roofs, and so on. The concrete is typically transported to site in an unhardened state, often using a ready mixed concrete truck. A chute extends from the back of the truck to place the concrete either in the required location or into a dumper or pump. https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Cast-in-place_conc... Cast-in-place concrete is a technology of construction of buildings where walls and slabs of the buildings are cast at the site in the formwork. This differs from precast concrete technology where slabs are cast elsewhere and then brought to the construction site and assembled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_in_place_concrete#:~:text... |

shuttered concrete Explanation: A variant answer. ccccccccccc Formwork is the term used for the process of creating a temporary mould into which concrete is poured and formed. Traditional formwork is fabricated using timber, but it can also be constructed from steel, glass fibre reinforced plastics and other materials. While formwork is a broad term that is used in relation to the forming process using a wide variety of materials, shuttering is a term that is often used to refer to the process of using plywood to form the mould. Shuttering is perhaps the most popular type of formwork and is normally constructed on site using timber and plywood. A special grade of plywood is necessary for shuttering, and it must be water-resistant. It is easy to produce, although it can be time consuming for larger structures. It is used when the labour costs are lower than the cost of producing re-usable formwork from materials such as steel or plastic. It also has the advantage of beingat a significant amount of concrete can be poured at once. Simple plank shuttering can be used for the construction of a path or hardstanding. The planks should be trimmed so they are level with the top surface of the slab, allowing a tidy concrete finish to be achieved. https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Formwork#:~:text=F... Concrete shuttering is used to keep the pour in place while it is in the process of drying. A barrier is built around an area to stop any concrete spreading to unwanted areas. Almost every concrete floor project requires some form of shuttering. https://www.industrialconcreteflooring.co.uk/services/shutte... |
