Ways to improve the quality of monolithic reinforced concrete structures

Abstract

In the construction sector, according to official statistics, the quality of construction products in recent years has tended to deteriorate. The number of defects affecting the structural safety of constructed buildings and structures has increased, and there is a tendency to increase the specific gravity of violations at the facilities. The cause of most defects in monolithic structures is poor-quality formwork. The application of a systematic approach to improving the quality of formwork structures is an essential element of the quality control system of monolithic structures. This paper presents data on the main structural elements, as well as gives a classification of the main defects that occur when formwork is performed, the causes of their occurrence are identified, and ways to eliminate them are proposed.
