  2. Concrete leveling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_leveling

    This process typically requires holes between 1" and 2" in diameter. This "mud" is injected under the concrete slabs, oftentimes using a movable pump that can access most slabs. Once the void under the slab is filled, the pressure builds under the slab, lifting the concrete back into place.

  3. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

    Insulating concrete form or insulated concrete form (ICF) is a system of formwork for reinforced concrete usually made with a rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as a permanent interior and exterior substrate for walls, floors, and roofs. The forms are interlocking modular units that are dry-stacked (without mortar) and filled with ...

  4. Foam concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_concrete

    Foam concrete is a versatile building material with a simple production method that is relatively inexpensive compared to autoclave aerated concrete. [1] Foam concrete compounds utilising fly ash in the slurry mix is cheaper still, and has less environmental impact. Foam concrete is produced in a variety of densities from 200 kg/m 3 to 1,600 kg ...

  5. Slip forming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_forming

    Slip forming, continuous poured, continuously formed, or slipform construction is a construction method in which concrete is poured into a continuously moving form. [1] Slip forming is used for tall structures (such as bridges, towers, buildings, and dams), as well as horizontal structures, such as roadways.

  6. Lift slab construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_slab_construction

    Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the work to be completed at ground level, negating the ...

  7. Self-leveling concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-leveling_concrete

    Self-leveling concrete was invented in 1952 by Axel Karlsson from Sweden. The first product was a combination of wood glue, fine sand and cement with additives. [1] It was called flytspackel, which directly translates to "floating putty". The term self-leveling can be traced back to a patent applied by the company Lafarge in 1997. [2]
