FAQ About In Situ Concrete
What is cast in situ concrete?
“Cast in situ” concrete refers to the process of casting and curing concrete directly at the construction site in the place where it will remain permanently, rather than using pre-cast concrete which is made elsewhere and then brought to the installation site.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of in situ concrete?
Advantages of In-Situ Concrete:
- In-situ concrete allows for flexibility in design, as it can be cast into any shape or form.
- Since it is poured on-site, it forms a monolithic structure, which can be beneficial for structural integrity.
- It is immediately available, there’s no need to wait for prefabricated elements to be manufactured and transported to the site.
- In-situ concrete structures typically have fewer joints, which can lead to better performance and durability.
- It can be adapted to suit any changes or modifications that might arise during construction.
- In certain situations, in-situ concrete can be more cost-effective than precast concrete, especially when transportation and handling costs of precast elements are considered.
Disadvantages of In-Situ Concrete:
- The process is dependent on weather conditions. Rain or extreme temperatures can affect the quality of the concrete.
- In-situ concrete requires time for curing, which can slow down the construction process.
- Achieving consistent quality can be challenging since the conditions on-site can vary.
- The process requires skilled labour for proper mixing, placing, and curing of the concrete.
- Formwork is required to shape the concrete, which can add to the cost and time of construction.
- Proper curing is essential to achieve the desired strength and durability, which can be time-consuming.
Is insitu concrete cheap?
This will depend on several factors. Typically speaking, in situ concrete is cheaper if the project is a large scale one or is complex. In other scenarios, pre-cast concrete can be a cheaper choice.
Can pretention concrete be cast insitu?
Yes, pre-tensioned concrete can be cast in-situ. While pre-tensioned concrete is often associated with pre-cast concrete, it is entirely possible to apply the pre-tensioning process on-site with in-situ casting. The key is to ensure that the tendons can be properly tensioned and anchored before the concrete is poured, and that the concrete can achieve the necessary strength before the tendons are released.
However, it’s worth noting that while it is possible, in-situ casting of pre-tensioned concrete is less common than pre-casting, mainly due to the challenges and complexities involved in tensioning and anchoring the tendons on a construction site. But with the right equipment and expertise, it can be done effectively.
