HOW TO BUILD A CONCRETE COLUMN: BMFORMWORK EPISODE 2
In this video I show you how to build a concrete column so you can DIY column formwork. This is part of a modern concrete house construction project. I show you the column framing and using column clamps I show column bracing techniques I have gained over 18 years in Perth Construction.

I absolutely love how chill you are when it's clear you're thoroughly annoyed. That glance back at the camera after cussing out the rain (3:30) had me laughing. I know the feeling. Way to stick it out and keep going despite the bad weather! Great video!

@JustinArendse-v7y 2 месяца назад

Perfect, but will wood clamps work?

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 2 месяца назад

Probably as long as they are strong enough. I’ve never seen them used. Wood clamps strong enough for the concrete pressures would cost far far more than the clamps I use in this video.

Good work .. . I have a question for u. I am building a 10 ft high shed, 10 metres x 10 m. Concrete colums 10 ft apart to support the beams. For these columns, I was going to use 6 x 12 inch hollowblocks, 4 per level with 12mm reobar straight down the centre of each hollow blocks hole. So 4 rebars in total. Every layer I was going to weld a cross bar to each corner of reobar for cross strength. Alternate this for each level. The blocks will be made by myself. 30 per bag of cement, plus some additives for extra strength. Between each column ( 10ft), 6 inch hollow blocks will be laid and attached to these columns using reobar welded to the columns. Essentially, I want a finished product once it is completed, ready to paint. Trying to minimise the workload. What do u think of this idea?

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 Год назад

I suppose it should work. Rather than Weld cross braces you could just buy ligs made to size like a normal column. They dont cost much. As long as the reo is fully cased in conc and has no access to air or moisture it should last a long time. But I'm no engineer.

@Blue1Sapphire Год назад

@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 Thank u for your quick reply. . . Yes an engineers opinion would be better. . . But having worked with my hands all my life, u do get a sense of what works and doesnt.

As much cement as they will allow, small stone and as wet as you can go. Vibe the air up to the top.

@RobertWanes 9 месяцев назад

Hi. Love watching your vids. quick question. Is it ok to use 1/2 OSB for 12" square formed columns, with 2x4 on the corners? OR is it recommended to use 22/23"? Thanks for any input. Rob

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 9 месяцев назад

Mate I have zero understanding of imperial dimensioning!

@sergemarlon 9 месяцев назад

Well, I didn't pull out my calculator but I'm guessing 1/2 OSB would be similar to 12mm or 13mm if it exists in metric sizes and 22/22" would probably be close to 24mm. Can you help now?

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 Год назад

Hi Larry, I dont know mate, we just call them column clamps and you can buy them at any formwork supplier here. Maybe get some made up and start selling them? I have noticed you guys don't use them in USA. These clamps are great and so quick.

Hello mate here a small replay from the Netherlands me and my wife going to build on the Fillipines. What a great video and info. The column clamps are great never seen them before. Are they selfmade or can you order them and under what name? Regards Jack

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 2 года назад

Hi Jack, we just call them column clamps. Everyone uses them here, certainly fast. I think most of them come from China, just need to make sure they are not poor quality steel I guess.

@rahulisepfrance 2 года назад

Yes. But plastic formwork is more easier to work with onsite and is modular #plasticformwork

@markbenn1907 2 года назад

Really apprised you making this video! One question. How do you continue that collum? Like the rebar continues up the length of the collum so how is it connected?

That is for a beam that sits on top as part of a suspended slab

@eruditis 3 года назад

Geday o'l chum. I appreciate you going to the effort to show us formwork techniques. I gotta arx but. Did you look into why, or ask anybody about the stormwater pipe that is beside the column before you cut it off at ground level so it couldn't be reconnected without being a real pain for someone? It's curious that it was left uncapped so that all manner of shite & sundry could fall down the hole? Whether good practice or not, isn't it frequent practice to include drainage within a column? It didn't impede your form, and if it were included within the column form, there would have been more than adequate cover between the pipe and the steelwork, ie ~50mm outside the ply, + 25mm ply + 40mm or so cover from steel to formwork...ie ~115mm cover. You cut it off and threw it to the shitouse without so much as a comment. Just arxking buddy....you know what you're doing but no comment was included.

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 3 года назад

haha no worries, around here the pipe runs down the side of the column, sometimes they run it so close to the column that you have to cut it off to form column as it is in way of timbers. I spoke to plumber beforehand and he had no issue with it. He was onsite before the pour.

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 3 года назад

I don't see the pipes inside the columns very often. More so on larger jobs.

@kingluisescareno6386 2 года назад

how far you measure the column clamps apart from each other?

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 2 года назад

I usually do the first one as low as possible then about 300mm and as I get closer to the top I span further apart to about 800mm.
