Hello.
If you have a structural building, meaning concrete columns and ceilings, is it better to complete the pouring of the columns and ceilings and then build the walls, or is it better to pour the columns, build the walls, and then pour the ceilings? I want a precise answer with scientific evidence because I need it urgently.
In engineered buildings there is no concept of creating walls and columns and roof all together.
In non-engineered low rise buildings it seems to have better performance if the elements are constructed all together. Because better integrity is got.
You should build in this sequence
1. Column
2. Slabs
3. Walls
This sequence will prevent shrinkage cracks and deflection. Let the frame settle first, then build the walls.
It will depend on the construction method, number of story, economy
generally for load bearing and composite structure the sequence of construction is construct wall and column parallel then do ceiling while for frame structure the sequence is column and ceiling. but suppose frame structure having only ground or G+ 1 then construction sequence is same as load bearing structure. its economical, get support from wall also. save money of formwork.
If small frame structure is there and going for self compacted concrete having high slump with standard formwork at that time the construction will be done column + ceiling at the same time. same process as slip formwork use for building.
