PREFACE
The Construction Project Engineering handbook is one of the Construction Engineerings main references, set up to assist students now enrolled within the framework of the Civil Engineering Department English Section of the Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest. The purpose of this present handbook is to present fundamental and practical information in the field of plain and reinforced concrete, ensuring that works are undertaken in an orderly manner, as sequence, and follow the required principles of execution. The handbook covers the whole project cycle for workers, equipment, materials, procedures, organization and quality control for concrete, reinforced concrete and precast concrete, serving as a reference guide for general contractors, construction managers, specialty subcontractors, estimators, project engineers, project managers, construction superintendents, scheduling engineers, sales engineers, or inspectors. The content of this book is arranged in 6 chapters that are summarized below. Chapter 1. Concrete Mix Design, addresses the design requirements and methodology regarding selection and proportioning of ingredients for concrete to meet its desired properties for concrete works. Chapter 2. Rate of Concrete Placement Rough Estimate, presents basic information and specifies simplified means of estimating concrete rate of placement in formwork. Chapter 3. Concrete Formwork Design, specifies the materials, construction and removal of formwork and shoring made for wood and steel, including fundamental concepts and equations that are used to design and execute them. Chapter 4. Concrete Maturity, provides an overview regarding concrete maturity determination, outlining current experience in relation to using an effective and rational method in evaluating in-situ concrete strength at different ages. Chapter 5. Estimates, establishes guidance in describing methods, procedures, and formats for the preparation of construction project cost estimates, from planning phases through modification estimates during concrete construction.

[kg/m3]
Final adopted value of C = maximum value between (step 2.5. and step 3.3) 4. Estimate coarse aggregate: (First estimate of aggregate weight) The total amount of dry aggregates will be calculated as follows: Knowing that V=m/ 8
Construction Project Engineering V ag = V total V water = V cement V air Ag = ag x (1000 C/c - A'/a - p) [kg/m3] Where:ag = relative density of aggregates (2,7 kg/dm3); c = relative density of cement (3,0 kg/dm3); p = void parameter (table 11), when not using additives, (when using additives the parameter will be computed according to laboratory tests). 5. Gradation of aggregate: Table 1-7 percentage limits of aggregate passing. The amount of aggregate for each grade is found as follows:
A gi = A g x
p i p i1 (kg/m3) 100
Where:Ag = amount of aggregates (kg); pi = percent passing by mass through sieve "i"; pi-1= percent passing by mass through sieve "i-1"; 6. Adjustment for moisture in aggregate: u 3 A = A gi x i (l/m ) 100 Where: Agi = amount of aggregate form sieve "i' (kg); ui = free moisture of sieve "i" (%); n = total numbers of sieves. A* = A' - A (l/m3) The free amount of moisture form fine aggregates (UFA%), is calculated as follows:
An = Agi x ui kg/m3 100
The free amount of moisture form coarse aggregates (UCA%), is calculated as follows:
A p = Agi x ui kg/m3 100
The total amount of free moisture is calculated as follows: A = An + A p kg/m3 Adjusted amount of water: A* = A' - A (kg/m3) 7. Adjustment of total amount of aggregates by sieve sizes: The of total amount of aggregates by sieve sizes, is found as follows: u i (kg/m3) A* gi = A gi x 1 + 100 Where:Agi - amount of aggregate form sieve "i' (kg); ui = free moisture of sieve "i" (%). 8. Final adjustment of aggregate weight: The of total amount of aggregates, is found as follows: Ag* = Agi * (kg/m3) * Where:Ag = adjusted amount of aggregate form sieve "i' (kg); n = number of sieves sizes. Ag * = A*gi kg/m3 9. Total mass of concrete produced: The total mass of concrete produced will be calculated as follows: b = A* + C + Ag* b will be compared with the value of normal weight concrete that ranges between 2160 to 2560 kg/m3
Construction Project Engineering concrete (reinforced), results from item no. 3 the recommended consistency T3/T4 (slump 100 20 mm). 2. Minimum cement content: From table 1-5 we find the minimum cement content of 300 kg/m3, according to the type of concrete (reinforced) and the conditions of exposure (1.a.). 3. Aggregates: a) Selection of aggregates by type: natural or crushed aggregates. We will use natural riverbed aggregates with the relative density ag = 2,7 kg/dm3 (see table 1-14). b) Nominal maximum size of aggregates: Is computed according to the following restrictions: Dmax minimum dimension of bearing member/4; Dmax thickness of slab/3; Dmax thickness of reservoir (tank) wall/6; Dmax minimum distance between re-bars 5 mm; Dmax 1,3 x reinforcement concrete cover; Dmax diameter of pump hose/3 ~ 31 mm According to the assignments initial data: type of concrete member (bearing walls), minimum length of section being formed (b = 200 mm), minimum distance between re-bars (D = 100 mm), transport and placement of concrete and minimum concrete cover of reinforcing bars (c = 25 mm): D max 1/3 x c = 1/3 x 25 = 32,5 mm ; D max 1/4 x b = 1/4 x 200 = 50 mm ; D max D 5 mm = 100 - 5 = 95 mm ; Pumpability D max = 31 mm. According to the exposure conditions (dry environment), the concrete cover of reinforcing bars do not condition the maximum size of aggregates. All these conditions have to be simultaneously respected, results Dmax 31 mm. We chose Dmax = 31 mm. c) Gradation of aggregate particles: From table 1-6 results the grading zone (I) according to the minimum cement content 300 kg/dm3. Knowing the grading curve (I) and the maximum size of aggregate 31 mm, from table 1-7.4. results the following upper and lower gradation limits: sieve 0 - 0,2 mm : recommended 10 - 15% : we chose 12%; sieve 0,2 1 mm : recommended 30 - 40% : we chose 33%; sieve 1 - 3 mm : recommended 40 - 50% : we chose 43%; sieve 3 - 7 mm : recommended 60 - 70% : we chose 63%; sieve 7 - 16 mm : recommended 80 - 90% : we chose 83%; sieve 16 31 mm : recommended 95 - 100%: we chose 97%. 4. Cement: According to the exposure conditions (concrete surfaces protected against weather or aggressive conditions) and environment conditions (moderate dry) results the type of cement form table 1-10, conditioned by the type and section of concrete element (bearing wall) and concrete class (C 12/15). Recommended cement type CEM II A - 32,5 N. 5. Water-cement maximum ratio: From table 1-5, according to the type of concrete (reinforced) and the exposure conditions (1.a.) results the water-cement maximum ratio (w/c maximum = 0,65). D. Procedures for determining the batch weights for mix proportions of constituents 1. Estimate mixing water and air content: The estimated water quantity needed (w) is determined according to the concrete grade (C 12/15) and the slump (T3/T4). 11
Construction Project Engineering From table 1-13, w = 200 l/m3 This quantity will be adjusted with a coefficient (c= 1) determined by the maximum aggregate size 31 mm, as follows: w' = w x c = 200 x 1 = 200 l/m3 2. Water-cement ratio: From table 1-14, according to the concrete grade (C 12/15) and cement grade (32,5N), concrete homogeneity grade II, results the water: cement ratio A/C = 0,70. The value will be adjusted with a coefficient for crushed aggregates if it is necessary and the resulting value of A/C will be compared with the maximum value calculated of A/C, determined at section 2.5. From the two values the minimum one will be chosen A/C maxim = 0,65. 3. Cement: The cement quantity is calculated as follows: C '= W ' = 200 = 308
W /C 0,65
[kg/m3] >
minimum cement contents 250 and 300 kg/m3 (see section B and C). From the three values the maximum one will be chosen C = 308 kg/m3. 4. First estimate of aggregate weight: The total amount of dry aggregates will be calculated as follows: Knowing that V = m / : V ag = V total V water - V cement V air Aag = ag x (1000 C/c - A'/a - p) [kg/m3] From table 1-15 the approximate volume of air-entrainment will be chosen according to maximum size aggregates. For 31 mm maximum size the mix will have 4,5 % air entrainment volume (4,5% = 45 dm3/m3). Aag = 2.7 x (1000 308/3 200/1 - 45) = 1761.3 [kg/m3] Where:ag = relative density of aggregates (2,7 kg/dm3); c = relative density of cement (3,0 kg/dm3); p = void parameter (table 1-15), when not using additives, (when using additives the parameter will be computed according to laboratory tests). 5. Gradation of aggregate: According to the lower and upper limits of gradation recommended table 1-7.4, it can be determined the right amount of each grade of fine and coarse aggregate (this determination can be made by plotting the cumulative percent passing by mass through each sieve, see table 1-7. The amount of aggregate for each grade is found as follows:
A gi = A g x
p i p i1 (kg/m3) 100
Where:Ag = amount of aggregates (kg); pi = percent passing by mass through sieve "i"; pi-1= percent passing by mass through sieve "i-1"; First correction: 12 Sieve 0 - 0,2 mm; 100 x 1761.3 = 211.35 kg/m3 ; 33 12 Sieve 0,2 1 mm; 100 x 1761.3 = 369.87 kg/m3 ; 43 33 100 x 1761.3 = 176.13 kg/m3 ; Sieve 1 3 mm; 63 43 100 x 1761.3 = 352.26 kg/m3 ; Sieve 3 7 mm; 83 63 100 x 1761.3 = 352.26 kg/m3 ; Sieve 7 16 mm;

A standard procedure for site formwork assembly is as follows: Forms shall conform to the shape and dimensions shown on the drawings and shall be accurately set to line and grade. All sheathing in contact with concrete surfaces shall be sized to uniform thickness and free from wane, warp, splits, loose knots or other defects which will prevent obtaining a smooth, tight form. Forms shall be erected one side of the wall formwork, ensuring its correct alignment, plumbing, and/or strutting. Forms shall be tightened by means of slotted wedge that passes through the lower end of the slot. Joints in the lining shall be filled with patching plaster or other plastic filler. Lining material may be re-used if it is in satisfactory condition, well cleaned and re-oiled

On every direction of the formwork design a panel removal (strike off) joint will be positioned with the size of 50 or 100 mm in accordance to the modular span of the slab. 3. The positioning of removal joints will be continuous, and will be placed towards the middle of the formwork paneling. 4. Removal joints can be adopted with the thickness of 150 or 200 mm, when these are the only solutions to complete the formwork. 5. On a slab formwork if the standard size panels cannot close the entire area, a filler panel can be used (square or rectangular wooden lumber plank) with the maximum size of 500 x 500 mm. 6. The filler panel is recommended to be positioned at the intersection of the removal joints. 7. All slabs will be formed in two variants, respecting the main directions of form disposition. From the two the economical one will be chosen in regard of the minimum number of joists that are used. In case of equality of joists between the two variants, the one with the minimum number of panel forms will be chosen 8. Every panel will be supported at two sides by two joists. These will not be positioned on adjoining sides or a side in console. 9. The joists will be positioned in accordance with a main direction of form placement for every slab. 10. A minimum number of reuses for panels should be assured. We are not allowed to cut or deteriorate them (10 reuses). General requirements for wall forming design: 1.

The basic consideration in form design is strength-the forms ability to support, without excessive deflections, all loads, and forces imposed during construction. Two types of problems arise in formwork design: Horizontal forms support gravity loads e.g. mass of the concrete and reinforcement, construction crew and equipment, weight of the formwork itself and the vibrating effect of the concrete compaction. Vertical forms must primarily resist lateral pressures due to a particular height of plastic concrete (e.g. static load from lateral pressures due to a particular height of plastic concrete, dynamic load from lateral pressures due to impact of falling concrete during placement, and wind forces on wall forms. The individual form panels and members may be limited to bending, shear, bearing, or deflection and all four should be checked against the allowable values prescribed by norms and specifications. Two types of loads are considered in the design calculations: vertical loads and horizontal loads.
3.4.2. FORMWORK PRESSURES
The pressure exerted by concrete on formwork is determined primarily by the following factors: rate of concrete placement, concrete temperature, weight of concrete, method of concrete vibration and depth of placement. The lateral pressure exerted by plastic concrete on vertical formwork is rather complex in nature and is affected by several factors. The freshly placed concrete initially acts as a liquid, exerting fluid or hydrostatic pressure against the vertical form. Because hydrostatic pressure at any point in a liquid is the result of the weight of the fluid above, the density of the concrete mix influences the magnitude of the force acting on the form. Nevertheless, because fresh concrete is a composite material rather than a true
32
Construction Project Engineering liquid, the laws of hydrostatic pressure apply only approximately and only before the concrete begins to set. The rate of placement also affects lateral pressure. The greater the height to which concrete is placed while the whole mass remains in the liquid stage, the greater the lateral pressure at the bottom of the form. The temperatures of concrete and atmosphere affect the pressure because they affect the setting time. When these temperatures are low, greater heights can be placed before the concrete at the bottom begins to stiffen, and greater lateral pressures are therefore built up. Vibration increases lateral pressures because the concrete is consolidated and acts as a fluid for the full depth of vibration. This may cause increases of up to 20% in pressures over those incurred by spading. Other factors that influence lateral pressure include the consistency or fluidity of the mix, the maximum aggregate size and the amount and location of reinforcement. Norm C11-1974 specifies the following loads for formwork design: (1) VERTICAL LOADS, include: a). Weight of the formwork itself and the scaffold: - lumber in panels 7500 N/m3 - lumber in shoring elements 6000 N/m3 - plywood 8500 N/m3 b) Weight of fresh concrete: - normal weight (heavy) concrete: plain 24000 N/m3 reinforced 25000 N/m3 - lightweight concrete 7000 19000 N/m3 c). Uniform distributed load of runways for concrete transport and impact loads of the crowding of crewmen: - panel design 2500 N/m2 - horizontal shoring (joists) of panels 1500 N/m2 - vertical shoring elements (props, columns etc.) 1000 N/m2 d). Concentrated load form weight of work crews and transport equipment: - one crew member that carries loads 1300 N - wheel barrow concrete transport 2800 N e) Load from the vibrating effect of the concrete compaction: 1200 N/m2
(2) HORIZONTAL LOADS, include: f) Static load from lateral pressures due to a particular height of plastic concrete (placed and compacted) according to the rate of placement (see Figure 3-5) on the panels surface.

33
Construction Project Engineering Two factors that affect the maximum effective horizontal pressure are seen to be: rate of rise of the concrete in the forms and rate of setting (loss of fluidity). The first depends on the size of form or forms being filled vs. the rate at which the concrete is placed. The second depends on a number of factors, of which the most significant is the temperature. The time of setting for concrete according with NE 012-99 is when the temperature of concrete is 10o30o C is 3540 min and for t < 10o C is 5070 min according to the grade of cement used (32,5 or 42,5). The effect of pressure in compacting the lower fluid layers by forcing out mixing water (bleeding) has led to the belief that for very rapid rates of rise there is a maximum pressure which cannot be exceeded. It will usually be more economical to control the rate of rise that to try to provide form strength to resist such high pressures. The rate of placement the relation between the height of the form H and the time period needed for the casting of the whole element. The rate of pour is expressed in meters of concrete poured per hour. The hydrostatic lateral pressure is given by the following equation: p = x H Where: p lateral pressure [N/m2] b unit weight of fresh concrete [N/m2] H height of plastic concrete [m]

The position of the maximum pressure is determined with the following equation: h p = 1 xH
Where: 1 has the value according to table 3-4. The value of the maximum pressure Pmax is determined with the following equation: Pmax = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 xHx b (N/m2) Where: H the height of the poured concrete (m); b density of fresh concrete (kg/m3).

The concentrated load d can by transformed in a uniform distributed load, by dividing it to the span l. Note 2: This design recommends three basic span conditions for computing the uniform load capacity of plywood panels. The span may be single span, two-spans or three span according to the panels width.

It will be assumed that the first tie will be as close to the bottom of the form as is practical, within 150200 mm, and that the top tie will be at or near the top. The values for pA, pB, pC (N/m2) will be calculated according to the known values pmax and pinf (N/ml). The wale most stressed will be calculated (wale most near to the highest pressure point point B), with the following equations: (0,15 + D1) (N/ml) qA = pA x 2 (q + 2xq B + q C ) (D1 + D2) (N/ml) qB = pBx (N/ml) q= A 2 4 (D2 + D3) (N/ml) qC = pC x 2 Verification for bending stress: 10 x a xW qxd 2 / 10 d= e a a Example of wale (square shape W q pipe): 40 x 40 x 3,5 (W=5,73x103 mm3; I=11,50 x104 mm4) 45 x 45 x 4 (W=8,25 x103 mm3; I=18,60 x104 mm4) 55 x 55 x 4 (W=12.9 x103 mm3; I=35,60 x104 mm4) Verification of deflection: qxd 4 d ExI d =3 Where: = 210 (N/mm2) f e f a 0.007 x 200 1,4 xq ExI E = 210.000 (N/mm2)

Construction Project Engineering If a minimum concrete strength is developed between these limits known as critical rate of hardening (K), in cold weather, the concrete will not be damaged, for this value being defined the critical maturity index MK. The attainment of the critical rate of hardening (K), depends on certain factors such as concrete mix design, type of cement, voids volume, water quantity and entrapped air do to compaction.
Where: MN and MNk are the required maturity index needed for striking off formwork respectively critical cold weather index. Example of concrete maturity achieved in normal environmental conditions (+20 oC, 28 days): M 28 = (20 + 10 ) * 28 * 24 * 1,00 = 2016 [hroC]

Construction Project Engineering movement of the surrounding air. If not measured or calculated, the surface temperature should be assumed equal to the temperature of the surrounding air. The maturity function, with a datum temperature of -10 C, is used to establish the minimum duration of the curing period for surface temperatures between 1 C and 30 C. Thus the numbers columns of Table 4-3 represent temperature-time factors in Ch. These temperature-time factors depend on the cementitious system and the exposure conditions. The duration of protection against freezing may be calculated from the maturity of the concrete. Alternately protection is no longer needed if a compressive strength of 5 N/mm2 is obtained.

A special attention should be given, after form removal, to the structural member because it will bear the whole design load. The following values of hardening level () are recommended for striking off: 2,5 N/mm2 for the lateral parts of the formwork; 70% of the concrete grade for the bottom formwork parts of slabs and beams, with spans 6,0 m; 85% of the concrete class for the bottom formwork parts of slabs and beams, with a span > 6,0 m. The safety props will be removed when the following values of concrete strength percentage is achieved: 95 % for reinforced concrete members with spans 6,00 m; 112 % for reinforced concrete members with spans between 6,0.... 12,0 m; 115 % for reinforced concrete members with spans > 12,0 m.

a. The maturity index required for formwork removal will be attained at 2008 [hOC]. According to cement type (II A S 32,5) and the desired hardening level = 40 %, results the maturity index of minimum M = 1880 hoC. The maturity index corresponding to the hardening degree level = 40 %, will be achieved in the 4 th day, and it will have the following value: Mef = 2008 [hoC] > M = 1880 [hoC]. b. In the second day after casting, in the possibility of a cold weather front arriving, the concrete will not be deteriorated do to freezing, because Mef = 1233 [hoC] > Mk = 1100 [hoC].

CHAPTER 5. ESTIMATES
This chapter establishes uniform guidance in describing methods, procedures, and formats for the preparation of construction cost estimates construction projects from planning phases through modification estimates during concrete construction.
During the design stage, very little is known about the actual project, to estimate such projects only on descriptions and conceptual sketches rough estimating is used. The variants of this type of estimating are (LaLonde, Janes): 1. Square meter of floor-area estimates / Cubic meter of volume estimates. 2. Average-component estimates. 3. Use-unit estimates. It should be mentioned that rough estimating is usually used in the conceptual stages of a project, when very little is known about specifics. The advantage is that it can be calculated very quickly, the disadvantage being its accuracy of plus or minus 15 to 20%. 1. Square meter of floor-area method / Cubic meter of volume method, calculates the number of square meters (cubic meters) of floor area or building volumes after which and a unit cost per square meter (cubic meters) is used as a multiplying factor. This unit cost may be for the entire structure including the basement and roof or only for those floors that are essentially similar, after which a separate unit price would be assigned to the nonconforming areas. When deciding on what this unit price shall be, the estimator has several alternatives: Take into consideration the actual as-built cost figures for past projects. With a notation that new factors should be anticipated such as: used of new technologies, marketplace demand on material and labor, quantities of materials, bargaining agreements, level of quality and even requirements for completion. Take into consideration cost data published or announced for other like structures. Some publications such as the Norme de Consum Orientative pe Articole de Deviz pentru Lucrri de Construcii (Item tabulations of material consumption and labor costs for construction works) publish cost indices and recent percentage figures on price trends. But sometime they can be misleading, or incomplete and should be studied with considerable care, do to the fact that costs can change rapidly during periods of inflation and deflation. 2. Average-component method, calculates unit costs for sections of work, such as bays or even spans, after which the calculated cost is applied to every other similar section. The advantage of this method is the fact that it allows economies do to construction repetitious 59
Construction Project Engineering and increased volume of works. This method is usually used for buildings, apartments, office buildings, warehouses, and the flat-slab type of construction. 3. Use-unit method is applicable to stadiums, theatres, apartment houses, and office buildings. This method considers that groups of seats, single rooms, or entire suites of rooms are repetitive. Which means that when taking into consideration two identical structures as function, but different as size, the cost per room/suite/seat/ bed for a hospital/ pupil for a school etc., for the larger structure will be for example with 20 per cent or 25 per cent more. Very often rough estimates are made before detailed plans or specifications have been prepared. The greatest use of such rough estimates should be primarily as guide figures to be given to an owner or to an architect to help them decide whether a job should be commenced. These rough estimates will also indicate to them the necessity of trimming certain items to fit the available money or show the possibility of including additional features which had previously been ruled out as being beyond their financial limit. Furthermore, as a rough estimate will also help pick up any gross errors in a detailed estimate.
5.2.2. DETAILED ESTIMATE
Once all design documents are completed, companies interested in performing the work price the project. This estimate is the most detailed and the most important. The main five major divisions are incorporated in a detailed estimate for a reinforcedconcrete structure, are: formwork, concrete, reinforcing steel, finishing and administration (LaLonde, Janes).

Sub-total Contractor fees
The quantity take-off is made from the plans either by tallying dimensions (preferable) or by direct scaling. The most common mistakes to be avoided are the repetition of something previously included and the failure to multiply identical elements by the correct total number of such elements.
60
Construction Project Engineering When starting an estimate all plans and technical specifications must be carefully studied so that the estimator is thoroughly familiar with the particular job. At all times, the estimator must keep a mental image of the completed structure so that he may visualize structural details, materials used or reused, for maximum economy. The entries in tabulated of each item (Table 5-1) will be properly identified so that changes of addition or deletion may be easily accomplished at a later date. Checking for completeness will also be facilitated. All dimensions should be listed in a uniform sequence such as length, width, and height in all entries so that no time is devoted to attempted recognition of what certain figures mean.
BASICS FOR PREPARATION OF ESTIMATES
Estimate preparation will be made in a normal sequence of events as works commence. Construction cost estimates consist of: 1. Descriptions of work elements to be accomplished (tasks). 2. A quantity of work required for each task. 3. A cost for each task quantity (price sources). A unit cost for each task is developed to increase the accuracy of the estimating procedure and should provide a reference comparison to historic experience. Degree of Detail. All cost estimates will be prepared on the basis of calculated quantities and unit prices that are commensurate with the degree of detail of the design known or assumed. This is accomplished by separating construction into its incremental parts. These parts are commonly referred to as construction tasks and are the line-by-line listings of every estimate. Each task is then defined and priced as accurately as possible. Tasks are seldom spelled out in the contract documents, but are necessary for evaluating the requirements and developing their cost. At the most detailed level, each task is usually related to and performed by a crew. The cost engineer develops the task description by defining the type of effort or item to be constructed. Task descriptions should be as complete and accurate as possible to lend credibility to the estimate and aid in later review and analysis. Quantities. The quantity take-off is an important part of the cost estimate. It must be as accurate as possible, and should be based on all available engineering and design data. After the scope has been analyzed and broken down into the construction tasks, each task must be quantified prior to pricing. Equal emphasis should be placed on both accurate quantity calculation and accurate pricing. Quantities should be shown in standard units of measure and should be consistent with design units (kg, m, m2, m3, t). The detail to which the quantities are prepared for each task is dependent on the level of design detail. Quantity calculations beyond design details are often necessary to determine a reasonable price to complete the overall scope of work for the cost estimate. Formwork is usually estimated by assigning a unit price per square meter of contact area of forms against concrete. The unit price may be such that only the material is involved and the erection is covered separately, or it may include the actual cost of purchasing the material, fabrication of forms, cost of erection, bracing, staging, nails, bolts, ties, wires, oiling for release and stripping. In arriving at the final figure, it must be kept in mind that reuse of forms is feasible in most cases. A good proportion of the lumber, plywood etc. may still be reused and will have a marketable value. Concrete. Dividing the work into items, such as: foundations, walls, columns and beams will help you conveniently estimate the concrete. In addition, it is well to list the different items in each division in the approximate order in which they will be constructed. 61
Construction Project Engineering Each different mixture of concrete will have a different cost per cubic meter, making it desirable to keep each strength under a separate heading. The cost per cubic meter may be determined by requesting bids from the various supply sources. The cubic meter method usually estimates concrete. Normally, no deductions are made for holes or inserts unless the cross-sectional area of the material to be deducted is a substantial figure. Reinforcing Steel. If the structural design is complete and all details of bends, dimensions, and hooks are shown, then estimates are made on that basis. Reinforcing steel is priced per kilogram or ton of steel. The take off sheet must show the total number of linear meters of each bar size and its type, description, and location the structure. It must clearly distinguish among straight and bent bars and spirals. The unit cost will include the freight costs of shipping, storage on the job, manner of bundling, length, order of use (so as to keep storage coats down), cost of wire brushing, costs of cutting, bending, and placing of rods and tying at every intersection, finally positioning, and testing of selected samples to ensure correct supplying by the mill.

Precast-concrete elements are cast or manufactured in: permanent factories, temporary factories, off-site casting yards, or supplied from a combination of these facilities. Transport of units is normally provided from these facilities to the site by trucks, only after a very careful examination of the following: shape, dimensions, and weights of prefabricated units, financial comparison of estimated site-produced castings and factoryproduced and delivered castings, type and capacity of transport means, space available on the job site and correct position for transport of member, availability, and quality of roads etc. Trucks can be classified in: - Straight or articulated trailers (a straight truck is one in which all axles are attached to a single frame while an articulated truck is one that consists of two or more separate frames connected by suitable couplings). - Truck tractor that are designed primarily for pulling and carrying part of the weight and load of a semi trailer. Other types include: full trailer, deck trailer, flat bed trailer, lorry trailer, single axle trailer, heavy duty trailer, low-bed trailer etc. of 8-20 tones.
90
Construction Project Engineering Storage and transportation of precast units can be a problem for construction sites located in congested urban areas. Storage represents an intermediate faze between the prefabricated production and there transport to the site for assembly. The storage yard can be located in the prefabricated manufacturing shop or on the job-site. If it is located on the job-site, it will be as close as possible located near the crane but protected against other construction activities and erection of castings without interference with the erected framework or with the erection equipment. Precast units will be stored, raised off the ground, in such a manner as to avoid contact with dirt, oil, and grease, to reduce any kind of degradation, and to identify each type of unit as easy as possible.
Figure 6-6. Typical prefabricated cup shaped foundations Source: Preconstructa AEBTE,2003
91
The precast elements shall be visually checked for defects (cracks, voids etc.) when the forms are removed off the trailer, when the strands are cut, or when they are placed in temporary or permanent storage. Any significant defect should be reported immediately with the description of its size, type, and location. The Engineer will decide if the defect needs further inspection, what type of repair, or if it is needed
6.3.4. UNIT PREPARATION
Unit Preparation Before Erection - during lifting, storage and transport of precast units it is possible that the elements will be exposed to dirt, mud, oil, and grease. They will be cleaned through washing them with water, and by wirer brushing.
6.3.5. LIFTING DEVICES
The planning of erection (lifting) devices and details for their attachment to the elements must be completed. It is obvious that changes in methods or details of any phase of the construction may be difficult after actual commencement of that part of the work. A lifting device consists of two main parts: the anchorage element embedded in the precast unit and the attachment element, which is attached to the anchorage to fasten the lifting line to the component. To provide adequate strength, the anchorage should bear against the reinforcement. A simple and common device is to embed several steel loops in the concrete, leaving the loop exposed for attachment of the crane hook. Selection of proper anchors for lifting precast concrete products requires consideration of a number of factors including the type of load, type of lift, concrete shape and weight, configuration, thickness, and strength of the precast component, concrete compressive strength at time of initial lift, number of lifting points and type of rigging to be used, direction of pull (cable or sling angle), reinforcement, ease of attachment to product, compliance with safety requirements and ease of use during final installation and cost. The location of lifting devices in the components should be carefully considered, taking full account of the special loading that will be imposed on the concrete as a result of tilting, lifting, or moving the component, including an allowance for impact. For example, raising a horizontally cast precast panel to a vertical position (e.g. columns cast on site) may induce stresses in the concrete that exceed any loading that may be imposed on the panel after it has been installed in a structure.

Figure 6-7. Typical lifting devices for precast concrete members Source: Ilinoiu G., 2003; Suman R., 1989, Trelea A., 1997.
Selection of the lifting device and its location should be based on the manufacturers recommendation and an engineering analysis of the proposed installation. The locations and details of lifting and handling devices should be shown on the shop drawings.
92
Construction Project Engineering A spreader beam is used in transmitting vertical loads from the two surface inserts to a single point at the lifting hook. Large or heavy panels are often lifted with a four-point pickup with sheaves on the spreader for load equalization.

Lorry-mounted cranes come in a wide variety of designs and capacities, generally with a 360 rotation or slewing circle, a low pivot, and jib. To improve the mobility of the crane from one site to another lorry-mounted cranes have rubber tires and an additional cab were a driver drives the crane from site to site on public roads. Characteristics: The crane is operated by a separate crane engine and controls. The capacity of lorry-mounted cranes ranges up to 2000 kN in the freestanding position but this can be increased by using the jack outriggers. Their height capacity range to 100 m. Mobile lorry cranes can travel between sites at speeds of up to 48 km/h, which makes them very mobile, but to be fully efficient they need a firm and level surface from which to operate.

Self Propelled Cranes (also referred to as a crane truck) is a portable boom crane mounted on an industrial truck. They can be distinguished from other mobile cranes by the fact that the driver has only one cab position for both driving and operating the crane. Characteristics: They are small capacity machines having a fixed boom or jib length, with small radii and low lifting capacities 10 t. They are extremely mobile but to be efficient they usually require a hard level surface from which to work. Road speeds obtained are in the region of 30 km/h.

Crane selection criteria shall include: capacities cranes, reaches of cranes and clearness required for movement of the equipment and prefabricates without interference with previously erected framing members.

Construction Project Engineering The range of cranes available is very wide and therefore actual choice must be made on a basis of sound reasoning, overall economics and technical capabilities: of cranes under consideration, prevailing site conditions and the anticipated utilization of other erection equipment.

Crane clearances Caption: a. boom angle; b. maximum clearance height of cabin; c. maximum radius of tail swing; d. center of rotation to boom foot pin; e. height from ground to boom foot pin; f. distance from centre of boom point sheave to bottom of hook; g. clearance radius of boom; h. length of boom. Source: Andres C., 1998.
The criteria by which to chose cranes is based on the following considerations: Maximum hook height (H). Extended / retracted boom length (f). The shallower the boom's angle, the less load it can lift. The longer the boom, the less load it can lift. (3) Clear radius of boom (R). Should the load be lifted at a grater radius, the angle of the boom be decreased, the load capacity of the crane is greatly decreased. (4) Lifting capacity (Q). To assure the cranes stability, it is necessary to respect the following restriction: 0,75 lifting capacity of crane tipping load of crane If not possible then the stability of the footing must be increased by leveling and completely supporting them by their outriggers, which must be fully extended and positioned firmly on stable ground. Depending on the circumstances under which a load is lifted, either of these can govern the safe lifting load of the crane. Loading charts are provided with each crane and must be adhered to religiously. Load charts should never be exceeded. (5) Traveling clearance for crane (S = min. 500 mm) given by maximum radius of tail swing, width of chassis or length of outriggers. (1) (2)

Construction Project Engineering procedures are planned to approach this objective. All other precasting operations are based upon the estimated erection schedule, and any delays in this schedule increase the storage area and dunnage required. Delays in completing connections of erected elements either interrupt the erection or increase the quantity of erection devices. Using additional erection devices to shorten the schedule is justified only when sufficient cured castings are available to ensure a continual operation. Planning includes a study of casting weights and sizes, capacities and reaches of lifting equipment, and clearances required for movement of the equipment and castings without interference with previously erected framing members. A plan detailing the erection procedure for all elements is drawn and checked to ensure conformance with the above limitations and is then rigidly followed. When choosing the erection scheme, we must take into consideration the following: - Size of bay and span of warehouse. - Height of erection. - Cranes characteristics (regarding the clearance characteristics: height, radius of tall swing, rotation of boom pin, height to boom pin, clearance radius of boom, length of boom). - Assurance of safety (guard) lanes. - Scheme adopted for precast units. Along side these we must respect the following conditions: - Assurance of member stability during erection. - Process flow and erection operations must create, in a short period, job fronts for jobs that will proceed. - Assurance of complete use of equipment job time. Schemes of precast unit erection must include the following: - Ground positioning of precast units before erection. - Order of precast unit erection in accordance with their types and sizes. - Routs and stops for cranes for every type and sizes of precast units. - Indication of members that will be mounted on every crane stop. - Sequences and stops for lorries if the mounting takes places from the lorries.
Construction Project Engineering - Clean exposed face work by washing and brushing only, as precast is erected, if required.

6.6. CONNECTIONS
Connections may be either: (a) temporary (also referred to as dry connections) are made by weld, shear anchors, inserts, additional reinforcing bars, posttensioning, or some combination of these can be used to provide this continuity. The temporary connection is usually provided until the permanent ones have been completed.
or (b) permanent (also referred to as wet connections) by concreting grout keys. When precast units are placed adjacent to each other, load transfer between adjacent members is often achieved through a grouted keyway. The keyway may or may not extend for the full depth of the member. The keyway is grouted with one of several different grouting materials (concrete, epoxy resins etc). Connections to tie precast units together, and to join precast segments into a monolith, are of paramount importance. Both temporary and permanent connections must be designed with careful attention to details and construction procedure to ensure the critical load paths and durability performance. Connections usually consist of dowels, plates/pads or angles embedded in the units ends that bear on similar plates embedded in the supporting section, the connections Figure 6-30. Typical warehouse are usually made by welding them together or by connections Source:Preconstructa AEBTE,2003 overlapping them, until the final concrete casting has been completed.

Construction Project Engineering Tolerances must be evaluated on each structure and on the various elements in the structure. This reduction, of course, is not required or desired where the elements are separated by grout, calking, or expansion material. The plans and drawings for structures frequently specify the permissible variations for lines, grades, and dimensions that the contractor is expected to observe. The tolerances should be realistic, considering the nature of the structure. Tolerances that are more than rigid than justified will increase the cost of a structure unnecessarily.
