AN ANALYSIS OF CONCRETE FRAMED STRUCTURES DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

Concrete slab construction practice raises several concerns: first, the magnitude of the load that is transferred to the slabs, including the parameters that influence that load, the influence of that load on the young structure, and safety during the construction process; second, the stiffness of the shoring used; finally, the time limit for shore (or prop) removal. To address these concerns, two methods are proposed: collect field data for different types of buildings and slabs, or carry out finite element analysis modelling of the structures and the construction process. Through comparison of the two approaches, conclusions can be reached that may help in understanding the behavior of concrete framed structures during the construction process, and, moreover, help in decision-making related to the construction process and safety.
