Cast Reinforced Concrete Frame of Buildings and Methods of Its Erection

Abstract

A novel architectural construction system was developed for erection of cast reinforced concrete building and structures wherein non-removable void-forming inserts are used to reduce weight of not only cast reinforced concrete floors, but of all basic elements of frame building. This work studies a concreting process of frame curvilinear elements using fiber concrete wet spraying and of frame horizontal and vertical elements using self-compacting concrete. Both processes of cast reinforced concrete placing enable substantial own weight reduction of structures (foundations, columns, stiffeners, floor and coating disks), optimal rib topology within flooring disk in order to equalize stresses in floor slab and attainment of complicated internal configuration of columns and stiffeners.
