Thermal performance: Thermal resistance of this type of wall is not too good, but nowadays, some heat-resisting materials are provided to increase the thermal performance of the cast-in-place concrete wall.
Moisture Protection: Naturally, in the cast in place concrete joint seal is used as moisture protection is used but sometimes, for additional coating, a sealer material or concrete is used.
Durability: The main purpose of the cast in situ walls is for durability; it is a highly durable structure. The durability of the structure can be increased by proper water-cement ratio, minimum compressive strength, proper entrained air, etc.
Preparation: At first, we need to prepare the portion where it is to be prepared. Any type of obstacle is removed and produces a granular sub-base over the entire area. Then the base is compacted with some compacting types of equipment.
Forming: Next, we create formworks for the concrete; these formworks may be wooden or steel. This is provided to hold the concrete. These formworks are designed for easy removal after the concrete is perfectly cured.
Pouring Placement: After Formwork has been completed, concrete is placed by the concrete pump if the concrete is not able to the casting place.
PR-finish: After this work, the concrete surface needs to be finished smoothly and look uniform. Then we screed the surface with trowels.
Finishing: Now, the final finishing operation is done over the concrete. Various textures are applied over the concrete surface.
Curing: At last, the curing process is done. It reduces the cracks in the concrete. The total curing process is running over 28 days. The different curing process is adopted for a different type of construction.
