Fitting Concrete panels inside the rsj

[Durt Burd]

If you put the panels between the RSJ what do you do for the corners at the gable end?

weld a 70mm x6 thick flat on the outside of the corner post and fit the panels across the gable the same as the sides

or you could shutter the hole thing

If you put a ratchet strap you can gain yourself a bit as you weave it in if needed. Also once in I would possibly put a bit of packing in on one side, as when they are loaded they straighten out against the preformed concave in them and when the weight comes off they can"walk" one way or the other.

I wouldn't like 2 ton of concrete dangling about 14' up in the air either.

I always try to persuade customer to have panels on face of stanchions. Much easier to fit and in my opinion much neater

agree and nothing to catch when scraping/mucking out

Unless you need to work both sides of the panel.

fit both sides

 

[Poorbuthappy]

fit both sides

Put panels both sides the posts leaving a gap in the middle?
You must be a lot wealthier than me!

You can then fill gap with concrete!

Expensive shuttering

Be best to just shutter and concrete it

Agree to a point, bit permanent though.

panels aren't cut accurately we had one 4" short chap had to send another out to replace it, also have to watch that panels aren't cut square odd ones of ours had to have 10mm trimmed off 1 corner

Anyone found any particular suppliers are spot on accurate and some are often a little off the mark?

@Unbrako precast panels supplied to me made to measure have all been spot on.

found jones brothers pretty good

Need to order some panels and need to fit them In between the web of the rsj instead of on the face of the rsj. The legs are already in place so can't drop them in from above. It's 20ft bays and the upright rsj is a 246 x 145

What's the best way to do this the panels are 150 mm thick and the bays are 6090 mm wide

Thanks

150 panel wont fit in a 146 rsj
Sounds crazy

We use Concrete Panel Ltd. Had 70t worth last year for the new shed, several had to go in between posts. All the panels were accurate to about 2mm.

 

[David.]

E.Yorks Concrete will be about spot on.

doesn't sound crazy, sounds like easy maths, the panel is 4mm to big.

out of interest what is a 146 rsj i've never heard of one?152x89x16 is the nearest i can think of?
