How can good consolidation be attained?

0

Exerting foot pressure on each side of the connectors is called “walking” the connectors (THERMOMASS Shuffle). It causes the unhardened concrete to flow around the notches in the connector. Good consolidation can be achieved by placing the insulation, inserting connectors and “walking” the insulation immediately after pouring a panel (within 20 minutes). Note: Setting time varies as a function of many factors, including (but not limited to): mix design, concrete temperature, ambient temperature and mix time. The installer must ensure that the concrete has not reached initial set before connectors are installed.
