    This document summarizes slipform construction techniques. Slipforming allows for continuous concrete pouring into moving forms, creating monolithic structures without joints. It is used for tall vertical structures like chimneys and bridges, as well as horizontal structures like roadways. Key components of a slipform include shutters, walers, jacks, and a hydraulic system to precisely lift the formwork. Concrete must set quickly enough to support itself and permit form movement, while maintaining workability for pouring. The slipforming rate is calculated based on concrete setting time and freeboard height.

    [1] Slip form Shuttering:
    Slipform construction is a process by which the concrete structure is constructed by pouring the concrete into the continuously
    moving forms (shutters) .

    Slip forming enables continuous, non-interrupted, cast-in-place "flawless" (i.e. no joints) concrete structures which have superior
    performance characteristics to piecewise construction using discrete form elements.
    Slip forming is used for tall structures such as chimneys, bridge piers, silos, towers, buildings, and dams (vertical slipforming), as
    well as horizontal structures, such as roadways, canal lining , airport aprons etc. (Horizontal slipforming). Slipforming technique
    is also used where geometry of structure and wall thickness
    Vertical Slipforming :
    Components :
    A slipform consists of a framework of horizontal walings and vertical yokes. The slipform panels are connected to each other on
    inside of the walings. Each side of slipform is connected to vertical yokes that keep panels in position. The jacks for lifting of form
    are installed on horizontal crossbeam between yokes. When slipform is lifted, all the jacks are activated simultaneously.
    Hydraulic driven jack is most commonly used.
    Slipform Components and Their Functions
    Yoke Legs : Yoke legs are used to lift the slipform structure as one integral unit, transfer lifting reactions to jacks and acts as
    the main connecting member for walkway platforms, yoke beams, top platforms, etc.
    Walkway Bracket (Inside and Outside) : Inside and outside brackets are connected with the respective yoke legs with the
    help of a pin for easy erection and dismantling along with a pipe strut to support cantilever portion to facilitate placing of
    concrete, placing of reinforcement, vibration, fixing inserts, block outs, pockets, etc.
    Shutters and Walers : The function of shutters and waler assemblies is to maintain correct profile of structure to be slip
    formed and resist concreting pressure. The slipform panels normally have an inclination in vertical plane in order to make
    panel self-clearing in relation to concrete wall.
    Lifting Jacks : Lifting jacks facilitate lifting of Slipform assembly. Jacks are to be suitably located preferably at equal intervals
    to enable to lift slipform as one integral unit. Capacity of jacks is decided depending upon the reactions at point of lifting.

    Jacking/Climbing Rods: Jacking rods are normally located centrally in the wall to be cast or at equal distance in yoke beams
    depending upon the number of jacks. The jacking rods are generally of 48mm, 32mm, or 25mm in diameter based upon the
    capacity of jacks. The lifting jack climbs over the jack rod. The entire load of the Slipform assembly is transferred to jacking
    rods when jacks are energized.
    Hydraulic Pump : Hydraulic pumps are provided to circulate required quantity of hydraulic oil at desired pressure for
    energizing jacks to lift the assembly and facilitate its uniform lifting.

    Yoke Beams Yoke is main connecting member between inside and outside yoke legs. Two yoke beams are connected at
    bottom portion of yoke legs and a single yoke beam is connected at top portion. Jacks are mounted over yoke beams. Yoke
    beam transfers lifting forces of jacks to yoke legs. A slipform jack fixed in position over yoke beam is illustrated in Figure 2.
    Waler Shoe Two waler shoes are provided on each of inside and outside yoke legs. Waler shoes are connected to yoke legs
    and waler pipes with the help of full threaded bolts. The functions of waler shoe are to adjust inclination of the shutter,
    adjusting the inclination of yokes and transfer reactions from waler pipes to yoke legs.
    Central Ring and Tie Rod Assembly: Central ring and tie rod assembly is provided to retain shape of structure to be
    slipformed. Central ring and flying tie rod assembly moves along with slipform.
    Operation:
    Slip forming relies on the quick-setting properties of concrete, and requires a balance between quick-setting capacity and
    workability. Concrete needs to be workable enough to be placed into the form and packed, yet quick-setting enough to emerge
    from the form with strength. This strength is needed because the freshly set concrete must not only permit the form to "slip"
    upwards but also support the freshly poured concrete above it.
    Slipform operation is a continuous working process where the slipform is kept close to full of concrete while it is lifted stepwise.
    The concrete is placed in 100 to 250 mm thick layers whenever the freeboard height is sufficient. The slipform rate is adjusted so
    that initial set in concrete occur between 200 to 400 mm above bottom of the panel. Depending on inclination of panel, concrete
    detach the slipform panel above the hardening front where concrete skeleton is rigid enough to resist back sliding.
    Relation between concrete setting time and slipform rate is calculated by using the following by Foss and Kjel Tares.
    VS = (h1- h2) / (ts - tt)
    Where
    VS = Slipform rate [mm / h]
    h1 = The distance from the top of the slipform panel to the average curing front [mm]
    h2 = The distance from top of the slipform panel to the average freeboard [mm]
    ts = Setting time [h]
    tt = Time from mixing of the concrete to placing [ h ]
