RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) column is a structural member of RCC frame structured building. It's a vertical member which transfers loads from slab and beam directly to subsequent soil. A whole building stands on columns. Most of the building failure happens due to column failure. And most of the column failure happens not for design fault but for the poor construction practice. So, it is very important to know the construction process of the RCC column properly.

Construction Process of RCC Column 1. Column layout work: In this stage of works the location of columns are determined practically in field. It is done by laying rope according to grids shown in the drawing and then mark the location of columns related to rope. In drawing, column locations are shown related to gridline with dimension. Practicaly, in field, ropes are our gridline. So we place columns related to ropeline by measuring dimension shown in the drawing.

2. Column Reinforcement work: After marking the column locations, we then start to place

reinforcement as instructed in the structural drawing. This is normally described in the drawing like

C112#16 mm⌀ and stirrup10 mm⌀ @ 4" c/c. That means column C1 will have 12 numbers of 16 mm diameter bar as vertical bar and 10 mm diameter steel should be placed 4 inch center to center as stirrup.

or C28#20 mm⌀ + 10#16 mm⌀ and stirrup10 mm⌀ @ (4"+6") c/c. This C2 column's reinforcement specification means that it'll have 8 numbers of 20 mm diameter bar as well as 10 numbers of 16 mm diameter bar as vertical reinforcement and (4"+6") center to center of stirrups placement means middlehalf portion of clear height of column will have 6" center to center spacing of stirrups and upper onefourth as well as bottom onefourth height of column's clear height will hold stirrups at 4" center to center spacing. There is a sheet in structural drawing which contains structural notes from structural designer. In that drawing sheet, you'll find suggested lap length for column's steel of different diameter bar and other important notes. You should read those before column reinforcement work. 3. Column formwork: In building, floor height is normally kept 10 feet. If the slab has beam then we have to pour concrete up to beam bottom level. Suppose, beam height specified in drawing is 1'6". So, the casting height of our column will be 8'6". And our formwork height will be 8'6". But one thing should be considered here is that dropping concrete from above 5' height isn't suggested during pouring. Because it leads concrete segregation. So we should make oneside of column formwork within 5 feet height range. After casting 5 feet of column, we just lift the short side up to fullcasting height of column next day. Another way to cast column without segregation is to keep a small window at 5 feet level of fullheight formwork. After casting up to that level, close the window and cast the rest of the column. 4. Pouring concrete into column: Casting column is easy. For small quantity of concrete volume we normally depend on machinemix concrete and for large concrete quantity we order readymix concrete. I would suggest machinemix concrete. Because, if you use moving pump with readymix

concrete and if you want not to exceed 5 feet height range for dropping concrete that would be difficult. If you don't use moving pump, yet there are some problems. Suppose, you have decided to use ready mix concrete without pump. In that case, you have to manually unload concrete on job site from ready mix concrete truck and have to manually pour into column. That'll take long time and you'll exceed initial setting time of concrete. As a result, concrete will lose its quality. So it is better to cast column with machinemix concrete.
YOUR TURN: How do you cast column? Do you maintain 5 feet height for dropping concrete? Do you use any ixture for dropping concrete above 5 feet height for avoiding segregation? Please share in comments...

SUNDARAM SEKAR June 6, 2015 at 2:46 PM While filling the RCC column (with Box) with concrete, should it be filled to the full height of the column in one stretch? The common domestic construction practice is the column box is mounted ti half the height of the column filled with concrete on one day, and box is dismantled after setting and again mounted up to remaining top half and filled with concrete on another day. Is it a correct practice? My doubt is that will there be proper bonding between the already set concrete layer with the concrete poured over that then. Request clarification from Civil Engineers please Reply
