    Slipform Method Reporting

    Uploaded by

    Slip forming, or slipform construction, is a method where concrete is continuously poured into a moving form, allowing tall structures like bridges and buildings to be built quickly in a monolithic pour. The moving form acts as a mold that is jacked upwards as concrete is placed, forming the structure in one continuous piece. While it offers speed and economy, slip forming requires specialized equipment and expertise, and may be less dimensionally accurate than conventional techniques.

    SLIPFORM

    METHOD
    Slip forming, continuous poured,
    continuously formed, or slipform
    construction is a construction method in
    which concrete is poured into a continuously
    moving form. Slip forming is used for tall
    structures (such as bridges, towers,
    buildings, and dams), as well as horizontal
    structures, such as roadways.
    Basically, this method involves the continuous
    placing of concrete in a shallow mould having the
    same plan as the building to be constructed. This
    rigid mould, or “slip-form” as it is called, forms the
    working deck which is jacked slowly upwards at a
    controlled rate until the required elevation reached.

    It offers the advantages of speed, ability to


    produce a monolithic structure, and economy of
    operation. The disadvantages are the high cost of
    the initial set-up and the need for specialist
    expertise and equipment. The dimensional accuracy
    that can be achieved may also be less than by
    conventional techniques.
    In vertical slip forming the concrete form
    may be surrounded by a platform on which
    workers stand, placing steel reinforcing rods
    into the concrete and ensuring a smooth
    pour. Together, the concrete form and
    working platform are raised by means of
    hydraulic jacks. Generally, the slipform rises
    at a rate which permits the concrete to
    harden by the time it emerges from the
    bottom of the form.
    Vertical Slipforming
    In horizontal slip forming for pavement
    and traffic separation walls concrete is laid
    down, vibrated, worked, and settled in place
    while the form itself slowly moves ahead.
    This method was initially devised and utilized
    in Interstate Highway construction initiated by
    the Eisenhower administration during the
    1950s.
