Planning pouring and compaction
Pouring determines the properties of structural elements
Concrete is a multipurpose construction material which can be tailored to have numerous different properties. In most cases, it is optimized with respect to the hardened concrete properties, that is, in terms of the requirements placed on the completed structural element. Pouring, compaction and the consistency chosen to match these processes are rarely planned but, in most cases, left to the concreting crew of the subcontractor.
As regards fresh concrete behavior, robust mixes can be produced that will not segregate even in case of extended vibration. They do not have a sufficiently high...
