Abstract:
For construction of a 23-story hotel and condominium complex in Indianapolis, concrete was placed using a detachable boom from a 32-meter truck-mounted pump. The boom was attached to forms used for construction of the building’s concrete core. These forms were designed to resist the dynamic loads imposed by the pumping operation and were self-climbing, with hydraulic rams capable of lifting the interior and exterior shaft forms as well as the boom. They thereby saved valuable crane time during construction of the building.
