2. INTRODUCTION
This method statement describes the construction sequences & methodology
for CUP_A1 BUILDING R.C construction works. The basement is built under
Top-down construction method for outer structure and under the Bottom-up
construction method for internal elements. The basement are consist of Roof
slab, Bottom slab and internal elements such as internal wall, columns and skin
wall, lift wall, staircase wall, staircase
Special methods and treatments will be proposed and used for the Top-Down
construction such as corrugated pipe with hot dipped galvanized will be
proposed to use as temporary opening for pouring of concrete and vibration to
fill up the R.C elements below the roof. Another option is to use pressure
grouting method to cast second lift of skin wall, lift wall, RC wall.
The R.C structures are built by conventional formwork in most cases whereas
system formwork may be designed for those R.C wall like skin wall and internal
wall.
The basement length is divided into sections. Each section and each layer of
slab will be further divided into 4-5 panels and each panel of concrete volumes
may easily up to 800 m3 and the casting period may require 8-10 hours. Such
a long period of pouring may have potential to create several major structural
quality issues such as cold joint formation, lack of vibration (honeycomb),
thermal cracking & etc. These are the most common quality issue occur during
the construction stage. Consequently, several prevention methods will be taken
during & after concreting to eliminate or eradicate these issues; Such as
external vibrator will be use to ensure surface quality, casting sequences &
plans to avoid cold joint formation, curing method to avoid thermal cracking &
etc. Vibration effect that generated from external vibrator will be take into
consideration in our formwork design accompanied with relevant details and
documents (we are in the midst of preparing the PE endorsed formwork design,
it would be submitted separately as soon as possible)
