    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Construction_methods

    The list of construction methods covers the processes and techniques used in the construction process. The construction method is essential for civil engineers; utilizing it appropriately can help to achieve the desired results. The term building refers to the creation of physical structures such as buildings, bridges or railways. One of the ...

  3. Formwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formwork

    The beams and formwork are typically set by hand and pinned, clipped, or screwed together. The advantages of a modular system are: does not require a crane to place the formwork, speed of construction with unskilled labor, formwork modules can be removed after concrete sets leaving only beams in place prior to achieving design strength.

  4. Reinforcement in concrete 3D printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement_in_concrete...

    The printable Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) technology can be combined with most other reinforcement techniques seamlessly to produce a highly durable concrete structure. Fiber-reinforced concrete, when used to print formwork, has a higher resistance to hoop stresses owing to higher filament strengths.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_3D_printing

    The 3D Print Canal House was a construction project. [67] The first residential building in Europe and the CIS, constructed using the 3D printing construction technology, was the home in Yaroslavl (Russia) with the area of 298.5 sq. meters. The walls of the building were printed by the company SPECAVIA in December 2015. 600 elements of the ...

  7. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

    Large openings in conventional construction require large headers and supporting posts, whereas ICF construction reduces the cost, as only reinforcing steel is needed directly around the opening. ICF construction can allow up to 60% smaller heating and cooling units to service the same floor area, which can cut the cost of the final house by an ...

  8. Lift slab construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_slab_construction

    Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the work to be completed at ground level, negating the ...

  9. Falsework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsework

    Completed falsework: Decking and some formwork has been added. The illustrations are of modern pipe-column falsework, used to support the formwork for a post-tensioned reinforced concrete flyover connector for the eastern span replacement of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. When the supports are complete, wood beams and plywood or reusable ...
