The operational sequence, placement methods and the factors which influence the progress of concreting work on various construction projects are analysed . The types of construction included in this study are dams, bridge, underground power - ho use a nd high - rise building. Comparisons of the results has shown that the continuous placement method yield the better output in placing of large amounts of concrete, especially for massive reinforced concrete structures. However, this method is still not widely accepted in many construction projects. It is recommended that further study be conducted on the possibility of using this method specifically for dams, underground and under water structures as well as mass foundations. Finally, a proposed planning mode land some relevant check lists are given as to provide construction planning for the placing of large quantities of concrete more meaningful UR - http://203.159.5.9/ait-thesis/detail.php?q=B19344 ER -
