Analysis of Column Requirements in the Puri Indah Mall Parking Building

Abstract

The construction of a parking building requires meticulous technical planning and implementation in compliance with standards to ensure the quality and safety of the structure. Concrete columns serve as the primary vertical structural elements with a crucial role in distributing loads to the foundation. This study aims to examine the implementation methods for column construction on the 6th floor, Zone 1, of the Puri Indah Mall Parking Building, identify issues encountered and their solutions, and calculate the required volume of concrete and the number of truck mixers needed.The findings indicate that the implementation methods encompass the following stages: determining the column axis, fabricating and installing reinforcements, installing column shoes and concrete decking, quality inspection, casting, formwork dismantling, column curing, and installing corner guards. The total concrete requirement for the columns on the 6th floor, Zone 1, is 8.246 m³, with a total of 2 truck mixers needed.This study provides practical contributions in the form of an efficient and standardized guide for column construction work, as well as material requirement calculations that can be adapted for similar projects. The implications of these findings support the optimization of resources and logistics in the management of sustainable construction projects.
