INTRODUCTIO

N
• Slip form construction, or
continuously formed
construction, is a construction
method in which concrete is
poured into a continuously
moving form.
• Basically, this method involves
the continuous placing of
concrete in a shallow mould
having the same plan as the
building to be constructed. This
rigid mould, or "slip-form" as it
is called, forms working
the deck which is slowly
upwards
jacked at a controlled rate
until the required elevation is
reached.

TECHNOLOGY
INTRODUCTION:
•Method of vertically extruding a reinforced
concrete section and is suitable for
construction of core walls in
structures – lift shaf ts , s ta i r shafts,
h ig h - ri s e
towers.
•The formwork rises continuously, at a rate of
about 300 mm per hour, supporting itself on
the core and not relying on support or access
from other parts of the building or permanent
works.
•Allows for the continuous pouring of concrete
into walls of a structure and only stops when
the full required height of the structure has
been reached.
•The height of the formwork is designed in
such a way that while the top of the formwork
is being filled by concrete the lowest layer of
concrete poured earlier has already gained an
initial set. When the formwork is moved CHEUNG
upwards the concrete that is then exposed KONG
remains firm. CENTRE
 PROCEDUR
E:
□Assembly can only start oncethe
foundations are in place and the wall
starter is in correct alignment.
□Slip form shuttering is aligned with
the help of yokes.
□Horizontal crossbeams connect these
yokes.
□Hydraulic jacks are attached to
these crossbeams for simultaneous
upward movement.
□Height of the slip form ranges from
1.1 to 1.5 meters.
□Yokes and crossbeams also used to
support theworking platform.
□Structure should berigid and
shape maintained at all times.
□Make sure there is no lag or else it

 HORIZONTAL SLIP
FORM :
•Slip form methods of construction can also be adapted to
horizontal structures and are used forpaving, canals, and
tunneling.
•The technique is more in use for structures that have
continuous walls like silos , chimneys, and piers for very tall
bridges.

ADVANTAGE
S:
•A major cost of concrete structure
construction is the required formwork to retain
the concrete till it can be safely de-shuttered
and be able to support itself and other
imposed loads.
•The formwork needs to be continually
removed to newer locations and then re-
erected.
•Continuous use of manpower and
lifting equipment like cranes.
•In the case of slip form building, the formwork
is erected only once and remains intact until
the entire structure is completed.
•Great reduction in the cost of formwork as
well as time saving for re-erection.
•Cost effective
•The reduction in the movement of formwork
and workers also leads to far more safe
working conditions that also make it a major
advantage.

SUMMAR
•S lip form construction is a construction
Y
method in which concrete is poured into a
continuously moving form.
•There are two types of slip-forms; vertical and
horizontal.
•Slip-form construction consumes very less time
but requires careful planning of construction
process to achieve high production rates.
• Due to continuous concrete pouring
in slip-
form construction it produces better concrete
joint less and watertight structures.
•Slip form systems require a few but
highly
skilled workforce.
•Slip-forming is also used in the construction of
tapered structuresinvolving changing
thicknesses in walls, diameters and/or shapes.
