G3 Flashcards
Exposed concrete members must be supported until they have gained their full design strength. The shoring that is placed under these recently stripped slabs is called
Re-shoring
What type of tool should be used to pry forms loose when stripping?
Wood pegs, wood bars
Why must rustification be removed very carefully
To prevent damage to green concrete
Explain the stripping process for foundation forms?
Orderly, and safely remove cleats, 2x4s, Walers and ties, sheathing
Explain how to strip and lift gang form panels?
Use fall protection, partially stripped, attached tagline and crane, tension crane, finished stripping, clear area
How to lift and strip slab tables
Use fall protection, lower Jack onto dollies, attach lines to core, roll out quarter way, attached first pair of strings, roll out and attach second pairs of slings, detached lines to core, hoist out
Do not lean gang panels against one another without accommodate bracing. At what wind gusting is the limit for not lifting panels?
55 kph or 35 mph
What is spalling?
For example when you’re stripping away the sheathing and the restification strip comes with it and pulls the trunk of green concrete that green concrete is called spall.
Concrete being removed with the uninstallation process
When may form be removed from any suspended concrete work?
Once authorization from the project engineer
When stripping is occurred on formwork what should be the first thing done
Cleaned, oiled and carefully piled in a dry location
In a ramification strip what can be made for ease of removal and what characteristic should be of the material?
Would free of knots, a soccer for the middle of the back, soaked in oil in wood for a few days is good
Requirements for footings?
Correctly dimensioned.
Level, not required but is good practice.
Positioned accurately
What is the maximum vertical step allowed for a step footing?
24 in / 600 mm
One simple outside footing forms are in place, how are the inside forms position?
Using cleats as spacers, and staked in place
What are the first few steps before placing wall forms?
Strip off the cleats, sweep the footies clean, Mark the foundation wall locations with Chalk lines
How are the bottom plates fastened to a concrete footing?
Hand nails if the concrete hasn’t cured, with power actuated fasteners if it has
Where is the bracing usually a place?
Outside corners
Why is the construction of an outside corner of a concrete walls form so important?
Because there are concrete pressures from two directions
Why must high quality forms be used in architectural concrete?
Because the concrete will be left exposed as the wall final finish
How many times can a concrete form be reused if properly looked out after? What should be done to prolong concrete forms usable life
Hundreds of times. Do not overzealously use nails when nailing or stripping
What are kickers used for forming single or double Waler walls
To lock the outside corners
Explain how to install a wedge for a double Waler?
The wedge should be installed so that the snap tie bottom is midway between the walers. Do not overdrive the wedge. Secure the witch against vibration with at least one duplex nail

Reverse key
What are three uses for rustification strips?
Decorative, you says a leveling strip to hide construction joints, use to create control joint
How is the height of finish concrete wall indicated if a level strip is not used?
Driving nails into formwork along a chalk line at the desired poor height.
How is a bulkhead made easier to strip?
Made of lumber instead of plywood, very important when dowels protrude through the bulkhead.
Describe how to set a bulkhead in the steel form?
Brace to the ties outside of the bulkhead.
What is attached to a wall form to create a pocket for a beam
Block out
Why shouldn’t any of the sides, tops, or bottoms of bulks run the full length of the bulk?
To accommodate ease of stripping
What do Keys prevent of two members shifting how?
They prevent lateral shifting of team members
What is a bulkhead?
A bulkhead is an end face of a section of form work, acting as a vertical support to the cement. Bulkheads are required at all places where the top of the foundation’s walls step in height
The term …… Also applies to blocks of wood there used to hold members such as steals beams precisely in position during concrete placement.
Block out
What is the typical size for leveling strips in forms for the height of the concrete?
19x38 mm 1x2s are used to indicate the top of a concrete level sometimes their chamfer strips
The Gap left by a leveling strip also Acts for the sheathing to overlap the foundation
Forming a legend of concrete wall is also known as what?
Offset
