Precast concrete systems have boosted the accelerated building construction. These are regarded as substitutes for cast-in-situ structures. Accelerated construction details to connect Precast columns to adjoining members using Groutec sleeve featuring threaded end used for connection to reinforcement at Precast factory and a cavity to perform grout connection at site. At the construction site, connections are made in few seconds by injecting pouring/pumping Non-Shrink Grout into the cavity. Engineered Tested and Compatible Fosroc grout which withstands Siesmic and Fatigue loads is used for cavity filling. Pull-out test of a high diameter reinforcing bars connected with Coupler and Fosroc grout was conducted after a day of casting.Failure of reinforcing bar observed. Bar-Grout bond strength was higher than failure load of a reinforcing bar. #Fosroc #Grouts #Groutec #coupler #Precastconstruction

Post-tensioning is conducted by transferring the stress in tendons to hardened concrete. The installation of internal tendons involves pulling and stretching the tendons, inside the ducts that have been casted in the concrete. External tendons are installed in ducts outside the hardened concrete section. Post-tensioning can be used in either precast or cast in-situ beams. Via: @yfilios.solution

🏭 Paul jacks are used in the manufacture of precast concrete ensuring reliable and efficient tensioning processes. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e2SdgF8g ⚙ The production of precast concrete requires precision and reliability at every stage. One of the most important elements in this process are Paul jacks, which are used for wire tensioning. ⚙ Paul jacks are designed for wire tensioning in the process of precast concrete fabrication. Their main function is to create tension in steel strands or wires to increase the strength and durability of concrete structures. Accuracy and uniformity of tensioning is important in this process, which is achieved through the use of modern jacks. #Pauljacks #tensioningintheprocess #themanufactureofprecastconcrete

Why do we place rebar? Rebar, or reinforcing bar, is a common feature of many concrete applications. Its primary purpose is to increase the tensile strength of the concrete, helping it resist cracking and breaking. #themoreyouknow #building #trust #information #rebar #concrete #project #quality #work #reinforcement #strong #indigenous #aboriginal #firstnations #thursdaypost #hiring #jobs #applyonline #coastsalishsteel #ironworkers
