Forming Economical Concrete Buildings - Proceedings of the Third International Conference
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-107:1988 standard is a collection of papers that provides guidance on achieving cost-effective concrete structures by optimizing the formwork system. Recognizing that formwork can account for a significant portion of construction costs, this standard aims to assist designers and contractors in selecting building designs, layouts, member sizes, and construction methods that result in substantial savings in formwork expenses.
The standard consists of 12 papers, each offering unique perspectives and ideas on reducing formwork costs. The topics covered include new formwork perspectives in concrete buildings, innovative wide module joists for floor and roof decks, air-formed concrete dome structures, lift slab construction methodology and economics, Michigan's tallest concrete framed office building, architectural concrete construction requirements, conformance and performance for economy and quality, pumping architectural concrete walls, the thermal wall system, evaluating concrete potential and performance, the effects of drying and form and shore removal on flexural cracking, and a new concept for forming systems in building single-storey houses.
By incorporating the insights and techniques presented in this standard, industry professionals can maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness in concrete construction projects, contributing to overall economic value and quality.
