Abstract

In reinforced concrete building structures, floors are added from bottom to top sequentially.The load due to construction of new floor is transferred to the lower floor slab through shoring. Different construction practices are adopted at work sites for the transfer of this load. The effect of construction practices was reviewed. The threshold value for bending moment under construction load is marked to provide the caution against the possible failure of lower floor slab.
