Question
I have been trying to find a general set of rough design parameters and practices for concrete casting bed / pretressing bed for producing precast hollow core slabs with a slip-form or extruder (preferably a concrete bed), but everything I find talks overly about the products being produced on the beds rather than the beds themselves. I would think casting beds being such an old concept would have several entire books on them but I cannot find anything beyond overly simplified diagrams with no useful technical information. Does anyone know of a good source for reference in designing a casting bed?
