Abstract:
This presentation profiles three tall buildings in downtown Chicago, Trump Tower, Aqua, and The Coast. All three incorporated varying degrees of SCC to aid in pumping and placing. Attendees will see 12,000 psi concrete pumped to the 88th floor of Trump Tower, the 56th floor of Aqua as well as the 640-cy roof deck (85th) pour, and the 41st floor of The Coast, a 50-story rapid cycle (20-hour tension cycle) PT condo tower.
