| Strong alternative to precast concrete parts  The Columns of the Market Foldable PASCHAL column formwork Grip is a strong alternative to precast concrete parts. The difference between a wall and a column formwork was never before as great as it is today when it comes to forming concrete pillars. Modern wall formworks have high, narrow multi-elements, on the sides of which another multi-element is fastened at right angles. This is how concrete pillars with rectangular and square cross-sections arise. Column frameworks have that too-and persuade with technical advantages.Kenzingen (Emmendingen County, Breisgau). In mid September 2011, the Singler Construction Company (Hofstetten) began erecting a 35.30 m wide, 74.50 m long, and up to 9.12 m high hall on newly reclaimed land. The shell, in which a grocery market of a well-known company chain is to be opened until Easter, should be completed by February 2012. The awarding authority is Günter Lehmann (Karlsruhe); the architectural firm and site management Müller + Huber (Oberkirch) established the schedule in close cooperation. No bad-weather days were scheduled for despite winter. Now Kenzingen is just 25 km as the crow flies from Germany's warmest community; nevertheless pressure is intense on the awarding authority. It's compelled to implement the most efficient processes. Almost 30 rooms are to be added next to the large market hall. These include refrigerators, freezers, and returnables storage, all at ground level; staff rooms built on the first floor; and a driveway for heavy lorries. Counters and other areas will receive additional floor insulation so that several foundation levels were needed to ultimately form a single large flat surface. The footings, built with proprietary Modular universal formwork, are double reinforced and consist of C25/30 concrete. The walls are mostly brick. The pillar-shaped block outs kept free were grouted in front with Modular universal formwork and subsequently concreted. So that's how reinforcing columns arose in the simplest manner. The roof is 5.10 m at the eaves and 8.20 m high at the ridge. It's supported by fishbelly girders. These in turn sit on a total of six concrete columns, each 8.00 m high and 50 cm x 60 cm, that are fork-shaped on top. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
