but it's a wood frame not concrete?

What is this magical blueskin box?

We must be close to the big pour I wouldn't be surprised if it started Friday and ran till Saturday

when did they spray the cross braces?

hoover dam size transfer slab.

How thick is that transfer slab going to be looks like 3 feet or more

The beams are being incased thickly in concrete ( below floor level) to act as transfer slabs, the floor itself will be much thinner and higher, you can see the vertical form work. These transfer slabs will support the interior core walls.

When they pour the pool base is it extra rebar? Thicker slab? How do they handle the weight of the water?

the hotel and res levels have internal sheer walls i believe so they wouldn't need as much rebar in the columns?

thickest TS i have ever seen?

so that box, is that going be a 10 foot thick transfer slab? or is that just going to be sheer walls to add rigidityto the core

Hydraulic ratchets can exert thousands of foot pounds of torque.

That's 4m pounds in 1 pour

I didn't have any concerns

Those metal corners are for the angle extoskelton that transitions the 6 floors at a time, it's how they can have no beams at the corners

That Slab looks like it's going to be more then a foot thick, it is going to give off a CRAZY amount of heat as it cures,, we aren't talking about a 5 inch slab and -20 here.

You don't need to heat concrete while it cures, I fact sometimes you need to keep it cold.

I would say over watered concrete for a complex thick pour, nothing that would be a major issue but they can do better

Well these are massive thick pours, meaning they generate tons of heat and evaporate water.

Do you have pictures of these 'cracks'
