Concrete Frame Structure
The design of multi-story concrete frame structures, as well as other permanent
structures, is based on loads dictated by the end use of the structure. However,
the loads applied to the structure during construction can greatly exceed the end
use design loads. In multi-story concrete frame structures, these large loads
occur when the concrete is poured on the successive floors. In the conventional
manner of forming concrete for successive floors, the floor beneath the floor

the age of the concrete at which the various stages of
the construction cycle take place.
It is the intention of this study to describe a method for accurately calculating the
loads that are distributed between floors of a structure during all phases of the
construction cycle. It is further intended to examine various construction
techniques keep the load distributed to the floors within allowable limits, and also
provide economical use of concrete forming equipment.
