Concrete Pouring Steps and Techniques

Key factors to be considered in the concrete pouring are discussed in this article. There are basic steps and procedure needs to be followed in pouring concrete.

We start pouring of concrete after going through the following procedure.

Preparation
Forming
Setting out and Leveling
Concrete Pouring
Finishing
Curing

Preparation
We need to prepare before starting formwork as the final stage. However, part of the work of stage one should be done in the preparation stage. In this state, we can list the following items of work that we need to follow essentially before concreting pouring.

We consider the construction of a concrete slab for this article.

Firstly it is required to doe some formwork to proceed with the work.
At the initial stage beam bottom (beam bottom formwork) is placed to start with the reinforcement work.
Beam setting out is done and then beams are located as per their alignments.
Levels are marked in the columns to fix the beam bottom formwork.

Levels are marked in the columns to fix the beam bottom formwork.

The leveling machine and total station is used to get the correct levels and to locate the grid lines.

Based on the formwork design props (supports) are fixed at the beam bottom. The spacing of the support shall be as per the formwork design approved by the engineer.

Once the beam reinforcements are fixed, slab forwork is laid.

Pouring the Concrete: Start pouring the concrete from the bottom of the column, working your way up. Use a funnel, chute, or tremie pipe to direct the concrete into the column to minimize segregation and ensure proper compaction. Avoid pouring the concrete from too high, as it can cause segregation and air entrapment.
