Describes pumps for transporting and placing structural concrete. Rigid and flexible pipelines are discussed, couplings and other accessories described. Recommendations for proportioning pumpable concrete suggest optimum gradation of aggregates; outline water, cement, and admixture requirements; and emphasize the need for field testing of trial mixes for pumpability. Importance of saturating light-weight aggregates is stressed. Suggestions are given for layout of lines; for maintaining uniformed delivery rate as well as uniform quality of concrete at the end of the line; and or cleaning out pipelines. This report does not cover shotcreting or pumping of nonstructural insulating or cellular types of concrete.
