Abstract:
Gross errors in concept, planning, design of structures un doubtedly account for some detailing abilities by far, the greater number of collapses of cast-in-placeconcrete structures are due to construction errors in field. To gross errors must be added deficiencies in execl of construction techniques and the precautions to taken to avoid, reduce, or at least recognize the factors tha could and do cause construction failures in the field cast-in-place concrete.
