Abstract
Due to the fact that the scale of Hi-Tech plants is getting larger and larger, the construction method for large area or great volume is more and more important. For large buildings, failure of structure and operation problems will arise owing to poor construction.
For large plants, the construction of foundation slab is the most difficult stage. To complete the foundation slab requires many resources such as labors and materials. Its construction period and progress will be affected by bad weather conditions. Therefore, lots of details are frequently ignored. Mass concrete often cracks because of temperature difference. In order to catch up work progress, concrete quantity tends to increase for each pouring. The leakage of construction joint between external wall and foundation slab and remedy of construction interface will cause delay, induce poor quality, and increase cost. For the above reasons, project managers must face and solve the problems with a serious and positive attitude.
The history of plant construction in Taiwan is longer than thirty years. However, the study of construction planning and programing for large mat foundation is rare. Without much helpful information, we can only learn from mistakes to accumulate our skill, knowledge and experience. As a site construction manager, I’m very lucky to be responsible for the task of completing a lot of large plant construction projects. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to build up a model of construction planning for large mat foundation, in order to allow others to avoid mistakes and provide a guideline for them to have the work done efficiently.
