Method for the casting of large-size objects out of a high-viscosity concrete mix

Abstract

The invention is concerned with a method and a mould in the casting of large-size concrete objects or corresponding elements for compacting high-viscosity casting mix. Thereat, the mould (3 or 17) comprises a bottom (8 or 24) and side walls (6, 7) as well as, additionally, a deck (9 or 25) for bringing the high-viscosity casting mix present in the mould (3 or 17) mechanically under pressure. According to the invention, repeated parallel dislocations back and forth are produced in the various regional zones of the mechanically pressurized high-viscosity casting mix (1) present in the mould (3 or 17), and in particular in parallel dislocation planes (2) of the casting mix. This is achieved by pivoting two opposite mould (3 or 17) walls (4, 5) or wall portions (20, 21, 22, 23) as synchronized and always in the same direction in relation to each other or in relation to their corresponding portions provided in pairs, which pivoting takes place around shafts (10, 11 or 28, 29) placed at a distance from one another, included in the planes of the said mould walls, and being parallel to each other and to the parallel dislocation planes (2) of the casting mix (1).
