Concrete technology

Introduction The concrete surface

The literature gives a wide range of instructions for
the production and assessment of concrete surfaces,
where specific demands on the surface appearance
are made, on what are generally known as exposed
concrete surfaces.
A truly objective assessment of the completed
structure is generally a difficult undertaking. Practice
shows that the assessment can often be completely
different in the respective views of clients and
contractors.
Even when the greatest care is taken, the final
result can be one that does not do justice to the
expectations arising from the construction contract.
In particular, anomalies can occur during construction
using in-situ concrete and smooth, non-absorbent
formwork. In addition, irregularities in the exposed
surfaces cannot be completely ruled out, even where
additional effort is made.1)
The exposed concrete fact sheet recommends the
use of one or a number of test surfaces for exposed
concrete class SB2 and higher.
These tests allow:
the quality achievable under true on-site
conditions to be determined;
technical procedures to be developed or verified;
the necessary effort to be specified and optimised;
personnel to be instructed.
If the properties of a test surface are agreed upon
as a binding standard for acceptance, the surface is
referred to as the reference surface.
Factors such as uniform colouring, pore formation and
flatness in the formwork skin butting zones (burrs,
offsets) are assessed. The subsequent observation
distance is, of course, taken into consideration
in the assessment, as well as the knowledge that
minor irregularities in the texture and colour are
characteristic of concrete and specimens therefore
cannot be reproduced without some deviation.2)

Concrete technology
Concrete
The production of simultaneously pourable and high-
strength concrete requires the use of plasticisers. In
order to prevent poor reactions, such as rapid loss
of consistency, segregation or excessive delay in
1. Placing and compacting the concrete
Only after compacting and finishing the concrete
acquires its final surface. The concrete should be
placed and compacted in layers not more than a
maximum of 50 cm thick in order to ensure that
any trapped air bubbles can escape. The necessary
compaction duration depends on the concrete
consistency. If compaction is too short, the concrete
2. Concrete finishing
The value of good finishing should not be
underestimated. It clearly contributes to an
improvement in the quality of the concrete surface.
It enhances the impermeability and the compressive
strength of the concrete surface region.
Recommendations

One of the greatest uncertainty factors when using
ready-made concrete is residual concrete or water

strength development, more detailed understanding
of the interactions between plasticiser and cement
or concrete is required.3)
grout cannot penetrate into voids and the result
is gravel pockets or large cavities. If compaction is
too long, the concrete settles and the danger of
bleeding increases. The concrete surface displays
considerable differences in colour and cloudiness.
Additional compaction in the upper column region
is recommended.
The shuttering tube, once removed, can be replaced
around the column to protect the reinforced
concrete columns from mechanical damage. Rapid,
differential concrete cooling can also lead to
permanent differences in colouring.

Filler 4060 kg
Water/cement ratio w/c 0.500.55
Plasticiser
Practice also shows that in an attempt to prevent
cavity formation on the surface of the concrete,
the concrete formulation can often fall victim to
overreaction. That is, the aggregate fines and
the cement component are exaggerated, generally
leading to a poorer result.

General information
The product
H-BAUs RAPIDOBAT shuttering
tubes provide a column
formwork system for easily and
economically manufacturing
round and rectangular columns.
The casing tubes consist of multi-
layered, extremely robust paper
and cardboard rolls.
In addition, the shuttering
tubes can be specially treated
depending on the demands on
the exposed concrete and the
architects requirements.
A number of designs are available:

Advantages
Tried and tested: manufacturer
of highest quality column
formwork for more than
20years.
Integrated ripcord for easy
stripping.
Recyclable material.
Keeps its shape even in driving
rain.
Matching capitals and bases
available.
Application areas
Using RAPIDOBAT shuttering
tubes, combining architectural
freedom with structural feasibility
presents no problems.
Simple erection, concreting and
stripping allow economical and
rapid construction.
Depending on the clients wishes,
the columns can be produced with
a barely visible spiral marking for
subordinate structures such as
cellars or underground car parks,
for example, or for high-quality
exposed concrete columns, such
as those used in residential
buildings.
