Cor Beton
BUILDING MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONbeginner
Definition
Cast-in-place concrete — concrete mixed and poured on site into temporary formwork, as opposed to precast elements manufactured off site. Cor beton is the dominant method for producing slabs, beams, columns, and foundations in Indonesian construction. The term derives from the Dutch 'cort' (pour/cast) and remains in universal use in the Indonesian construction industry.
Example
On a typical Indonesian housing site, the cor beton sequence for a floor slab proceeds: install formwork (bekisting) → place reinforcement (besi tulangan) → pour concrete → cure for minimum 28 days → strip formwork.
