-Reinforced Concrete Buildings in the Near Future-
By A. Baba and A. Mori
Concrete Journal, Vol.39, No.7, Jul. 2001
- Synopsis
- A new form work system is dealt with herein. Thin cementitious sheathing panels produced by extrusion molding are developed for the system, which are excellent in flexural strength and durability. A modular coordination system for the form work, quality control method, and actual properties are introduced. The features of the system are characterized as saving human power, improving durability of the buildings, so that sustainability of constructing reinforced concrete buildings and humanizing the construction labor.
