A concrete column starter, also known as a column kicker, is a short section of the column (typically 100–150 mm high) cast along with the foundation or slab to ensure proper alignment and bonding of the column.
Importance of Concrete Column Starter
Alignment & Positioning:
Ensures the column is placed at the correct location and vertical alignment.
Helps maintain the column's plumbness, reducing errors during construction.
Structural Integrity:
Provides a strong base for the column reinforcement, ensuring proper load transfer.
Reduces cold joints between the foundation and the column, improving structural strength.
Workability & Efficiency:
Helps in better formwork fixing and reduces movement during column casting.
Facilitates easy compaction of concrete and reduces honeycombing at the base.
Prevention of Weak Joints:
Avoids direct column casting on a rough foundation surface, ensuring better bonding.
Minimizes potential cracks or separations at the joint between the slab and column.
Best Practices for Column Starters:
Ensure proper curing of the starter before column casting.
Use accurate formwork to maintain correct dimensions and alignment.
Roughen the top surface of the starter for better bonding with the column.
