Question

In the design of wall and column forms, the two most important factors are which of the following? a. rate of placement of the concrete and the climatic conditions b. length of the wall or column and the temperature of the concrete in the forms c. length of the wall or column and the rate of placement of the concrete d. rate of placement of the concrete and the temperature of the concrete in the forms

Answer 1

Answer:

c. length of the wall or column and the rate of placement of the concrete

Explanation:

when designing for wall and column form-works, it is of utmost important to know the length of the wall and the type of concrete placement to be used.

Concrete placement has methods and precaution to be taken when doing the  form work

if the concrete placement is manually (hand or funnel) the form work height should not be more than 1 m to enable easy compaction and vibration of concrete in the form.

Also, if the form work length is too long and it is not well reinforced, it tends to burg if the force apply during concrete placement or during vibration is much.
