HOW TO BUILD A CONCRETE COLUMN: BMFORMWORK EPISODE 2
In this video I show you how to build a concrete column so you can DIY column formwork. This is part of a modern concrete house construction project. I show you the column framing and using column clamps I show column bracing techniques I have gained over 18 years in Perth Construction.

    I absolutely love how chill you are when it's clear you're thoroughly annoyed. That glance back at the camera after cussing out the rain (3:30) had me laughing. I know the feeling. Way to stick it out and keep going despite the bad weather! Great video!

    Good work .. . I have a question for u. I am building a 10 ft high shed, 10 metres x 10 m. Concrete colums 10 ft apart to support the beams. For these columns, I was going to use 6 x 12 inch hollowblocks, 4 per level with 12mm reobar straight down the centre of each hollow blocks hole. So 4 rebars in total. Every layer I was going to weld a cross bar to each corner of reobar for cross strength. Alternate this for each level. The blocks will be made by myself. 30 per bag of cement, plus some additives for extra strength. Between each column ( 10ft), 6 inch hollow blocks will be laid and attached to these columns using reobar welded to the columns. Essentially, I want a finished product once it is completed, ready to paint. Trying to minimise the workload. What do u think of this idea?

    @bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783

    Жыл бұрын

    I suppose it should work. Rather than Weld cross braces you could just buy ligs made to size like a normal column. They dont cost much. As long as the reo is fully cased in conc and has no access to air or moisture it should last a long time. But I'm no engineer.

    Geday o'l chum. I appreciate you going to the effort to show us formwork techniques. I gotta arx but. Did you look into why, or ask anybody about the stormwater pipe that is beside the column before you cut it off at ground level so it couldn't be reconnected without being a real pain for someone? It's curious that it was left uncapped so that all manner of shite & sundry could fall down the hole? Whether good practice or not, isn't it frequent practice to include drainage within a column? It didn't impede your form, and if it were included within the column form, there would have been more than adequate cover between the pipe and the steelwork, ie ~50mm outside the ply, + 25mm ply + 40mm or so cover from steel to formwork...ie ~115mm cover. You cut it off and threw it to the shitouse without so much as a comment. Just arxking buddy....you know what you're doing but no comment was included.

    haha no worries, around here the pipe runs down the side of the column, sometimes they run it so close to the column that you have to cut it off to form column as it is in way of timbers. I spoke to plumber beforehand and he had no issue with it. He was onsite before the pour.
