Slip forming is used for tall structures such as bridges towers buildings and dams as well as horizontal structures such as roadways.
Traditionally column spacings and floor spans in these buildings have been in the range of 6 to 9 metres to both contain costs and simplify construction.
69 chapter 4 floor construction woodframe floor systems and concrete slab on grade floors are discussed in this chapter.
The depth of a floor system is directly related to the size and proportion of the structural bays it must span and the strength of the materials used.
Rather the reader is referred to the aisi standard for cold formed steel framing prescriptive method for one and two family dwellings aisi 2001 for guidance.
In vertical slip forming the concrete form may be surrounded by a platform on which workers stand placing steel reinforcing rods into the concrete and ensuring a smooth pour.
Together the concrete form and working platform are raised by means of hydraulic jacks.
A floor system may be composed of a series of linear beams and joints overlaid with a plane of sheathing or decking or consist of a nearly homogeneous slab of reinforced concrete.
