Once the slab is poured it requires some time to cure. Once the slab is cured sufficiently, the frame is then put up.
Reinforcement is used to increase the strength of the house slab.
Reinforcement must be fixed in the right position to best resist compressive, tensile and shear forces. The steel reinforcement in trenches and slabs rests on BAR CHAIRS (see photo) and are securely fixed to the bar chairs so it won’t move when concrete is placed around it.
Steel reinforcements are placed in the top 1/3 of slabs and in the bottom of trenches and footings. The exact positioning of reinforcement is shown in the engineering plans. The reinforcement is covered by a set amount of concrete which protects the steel from damage.
Once all steel is securely in place a final inspection takes place. Only after approval from a building inspector is received can the slab be poured.
Formwork gives concrete its SHAPE.
Formwork that is not will leak from the joints, may sag, bulge or move and, especially in large construction, will not be safe.
The most important step in preparing a house slab is planning. It is necessary to plan every step before any concrete is delivered. Proper planning avoids delays, wastage, segregation and problems which develop from these.
EXCAVATION The ground is excavated as deep as is required by the finishing levels. Any roots or grass are dug out until there is firm soil to place on. Excavations are prepared wider than needed to allow for the formwork.
