CHAPTER 1

PREFACE
1.1 Introduction

Nowadays, the total of buildings increase every years. In Kuala Terengganu,

there is small shopping mall in town but dont have more space to park the cars. So,
the government has taken the serious action to overcome the problem. According to
the problem, Kuala Terengganu has taken an action to overcome this problem. They
provide to build a building that consists the parking area, bowling centre and cinema
area. It is located at Jalan Tengku Embong Fatimah, Mukim Bandar, Kuala
Terengganu. It is beside the PB Square, which is consists shopping mall, hotel and
office. Then, PB Sentral is beside the PB Square which is consist parking area can
make an easy to the public to park their cars. Using of Hollow Core Slab (HCS) an
effective solution besides on reasonable cost, it also suitable and easier compare to
any structure system such as in situ concrete, steel frame or steel structure. This
hollow core plank construct hold on size depend on developers. Hollow Core is
needed in construction when the project need a fast completion and maximum space
that not use a lot of column such as office building, car park, and bowling.

1.2 Objective of Case Study

Objective of this case study are:
i.
ii.

To study the construction method of Hollow Core Slab.

To determine the different between Pre-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete and Post

iii.

tensioned Prestressed Concrete.

To identify the machinery & equipment of Hollow Core Slab.

1.3 Scope of Study

The scope of this study is to focus on installation the Precast Hollow Core Slab
(HCS). Installing the Hollow Core Slab has certain method and system. All
installation in construction must follow the method statement that has been prepare,
people must refer to method statement to avoid from failure.
The hollow core slab wide used in construction such as the bridge. But, this project
used the hollow core slab to construct the building to support load such as car, people
and furniture. In detail, will explain it more in chapter 3 on how to install the Precast
Hollow Core Slab (HCS) until finish successfully.

1.4 Method of Study

In this case study the author have done several methods to get the information and to
know the detail of process done. The methods such as:
i. Observation
Information from what had been seen is not same with learn at construction site. It can
make easier to understand. It is because the information in the book more complicated
to understand.
ii. Research
In this method, do a research refer to internet and book to get the information about
the process in more detail. Other than that, the author had research more about the
material that is used to construct the building.

3.3 Case Study

3.3.1 Hollow Core Slab (HCS)
A Hollow Core Slab (HCS) can be defined as a voided slab or hollow core
plank, it is a precast slab of prestressed concrete typically used in the construction.
The precast concrete slab has tubular void extending the full length of the slab, this
make the slab much lighter than a massive floor slabs of equal thickness or strength.
Hollow Core is needed in construction when the project need a fast completion
and maximum space that not use a lot of column such as office building, car park, and
bowling.

3.3.2 Characteristic of Hollow Core Slab (HCS)

Following below is the characteristic were given in one unit of hollow core plank such
as:
i.

Scale about > 6 m until 18 m long.

ii.

Consist 1200 mm of width and consist 150 mm, 200 mm, 250 mm, and 300 mm
deep or height.

iii.

Consist of steel reinforcement and strand wire.

iv.

Consist of void or drainage hole.

Photo 3.5: Plastic Plug

Plastic plug is a plastic that protect the hollow in HCS from allow thing go inside the
hollow. The plastic plug function in concreting process is to avoid the concrete slurry
go inside into the hollow core slab void.

3.3.3 Different between Pre-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete and

Post-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete
3.3.3.1 Pre-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete
Pre-tensioned concrete always done in precast plant. A pre-tensioned
prestressed concrete member is cast in a performed casting bed. The bonded wires
(tendons) are tensioned prior to the concrete hardening.after the concrete hardens to
approximately 75% of the specified compressive strength. The tendons are released
and axial compressive load is then transmitted to the cross-section of the member.

Figure 3.4: Pre-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete

Sources :AECT(2002)

3.3.3.2 Post-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete

A post-tensioned member has uncoated tendons cast into concrete in draped
patterns. After the concrete hardens to about 75% of the specified compressive
strength. The tendon are tensioned and try to straighten out. This creates an upward
chamber of the member which offsets anticipated downward deflection due to gravity
loads. Post-tensioning can be accomplished on-site as necessary.

installation of HCS (45 pcs) had been covered for GL: A-B/1-8.For the Tower Crane 2
which are located at GL: B-C/11-12, the working radius of installation of HCS (45
pcs) had been covered for GL: A-B/8-15.

Photo 3.26: Tower Crane 1 and 2

Other than that, Tower Crane will pick up a HCS from the trailer by using a special
lifting tool. The lifting tool consists of a long spreader beam with 2 clampers and
attach to it at both ends with 2 short wire ropes. Each clamper will be equipped with a
safety chain.

35

The workers will stay away from the HCS when the crane starts to hoist it to the
install location.

Photo 3.27: Lifting Work

The tower crane will start to slow down when the HCS is approaching the install
location so that the workers can hold it to the correct orientation & position. Next,
safety chains are then removed from the HCS. The signal men will instruct the crane
to lower down the HCS. The crane stop immediately when the HCS is touch on the
neoprene strip on the supports.

Refer to the engineer, angle of between three quarter end point of plank not more than
60.Supervisor give an order to operator tower crane to place a Hollow Core Slab on

CHAPTER 4

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

As a conclusion, there several process of hollow core slab. For example, lifting the
hollow core slab that involving the installation and construction of precast slab. Each
step must have a high safety to avoid any injure happen. Its take about 30 minutes
from start process to finished process. There are several test runs on the gaps between
beam and hollow core slab as purpose to know the stability, quantity and control
during installation. These tests allow the next hollow core slab can be proceed. Lastly,
installation of hollow core have done. Concrete work will be proceed to make sure
that surface is smooth by using a cement render by using machinery for complete a
work such as vibrator machine and power floating.
The several problem has been occurs on this site and several solution need to be taken
by management team. For examples, the problem that happened by worker which is
late come to work and have been give the effect against period of contract. The
solution need to be taken by management team such as appoint a believable worker to
monitor the worker that late come to site. Then give the punishment such as cut their
salary or give the warning.
The next problem is fast lifting caused crack of hollow core slab given by surveying.
Approved effect is that crack more than half of slab force to be rejected. All of this
will cause waste against money and materials. Therefore, this solution is all of the
data given from surveying must be rechecked by engineer.
