Raise at 1 inch per second. This is the speed air rises in concrete. Avoid vibrating in irregular patterns. Patterns must overlap 1.5 times the radius of action. Ensures that all concrete is consolidated. ACI 309R states max. lift does not exceed 20 inches. Penetrate the last layer by a minimum of 6 inches.
Consolidation of concrete—required or not? - American Concrete …
Section 5.3.2.5 of ACI 301 states that unless otherwise specified, consolidate concrete by vibration. This applies to concrete slabs as well. In the Optional Requirements Checklist in ACI 301, Section 5.3.2.5 permits other methods of consolidation, too: “Specify if consolidating of concrete by methods other than vibration will be permitted.”.

ACI PRC-309-05: Guide for Consolidation of Concrete
Consolidation is the process of removing entrapped air from freshly placed concrete. Several methods and techniques are available, the choice depending on the workability of the mixture, placing conditions, and degree of air removal desired. Some form of vibration is usually employed. This guide includes information on the mechanism of ...
SP-060: Vibrations of Concrete Structures
Description. This volume deals with dynamic deflections of concrete structures. The collection of 12 papers leads off with a review of the state of the art. Other subjects include: vibration criteria for long-span concrete floors, dynamic characteristics of reinforced concrete buildings, estimation of dynamic stressing of floors and buildings ...
Controlling Three-Dimensional-Printable Concrete with Vibration
Nov 1, 2021 · DOI: 10.14359/51734150. Date: 11/1/2021. This study proposes using vibration to facilitate three-dimensional (3D) printing of concrete with coarse aggregate, which could lower material costs and decrease shrinkage compared with current 3D-printed cementitious structures. 3D printing of concrete requires concrete to behave like a fluid during ...

How is concrete consolidated? - American Concrete Institute
The most widely used consolidation method is vibration. Vibration can be internal, external, or both. Vibration consists of subjecting freshly placed concrete to rapid vibratory impulses that liquefy the mortar and drastically reduce the internal friction between aggregate particles. While in this condition, concrete settles under the action of ...
