High rise concrete constructability - challenges and success stories. The construction of high rise buildings, particularly in dense urban environments, comes with multiple constructability challenges including formwork movement, schedules, concrete conveying hundreds of feet vertically, high strength concrete, site logistics and manpower movement. This session will be presented by the designers and builders that have overcome these potential issues in structures up to 868 ft tall.
Learning Objectives:
(1) Understand the principles unique to construction of high rise concrete structures;
(2) Describe frequent issues occurring on concrete projects that negatively impact constructability, schedules and project budgets;
(3) Identify potential constructability pain points and acquire proven strategies to prevent them from occurring;
(4) Understand the design behind complicated project elements and alternative methods to construct them.
