AoA all,
Is it mandatory to do column concreting upto the soffit of the beam in a single pour ?
What code says about the construction/cold joint location in column ?
Majority of the contractors are pouring the column concrete upto the soffit of the beam (full height of the column), some contractors leave the column height about 9" to 12" below the beam level and then fill this 9" to 12" column height with the beams & slab concreting. On one site column concreting was stopped at the mid height and the remaining half was filled on the next day.
Thanks
