Outlines the general procedure for lift-slab work, citing main advantages and disadvantages. Describes in some detail the slabs, collars, jacks, fittings, jack rods, columns, and anchorage and foundation problems. Principles governing lifting sequence are noted; an example shows lifting sequence for B-story building. Cost factors are treated, and current Canadian trends in lift-slab applications are given.
