    Formwork is used to support wet concrete until it cures. Common materials for formwork include timber, steel, and aluminum. Timber formwork often uses plywood and can be reused, while steel and aluminum tend to have higher initial costs but more reuses. Formwork is used in columns, beams, slabs, and walls. Proper inspection and treatment of formwork surfaces with a release agent helps ensure good quality concrete.

    WHAT IS FORMWORK ?

    Formwork is temporary or permanent molds into


    which concrete or similar materials are poured. In
    the context of concrete construction, the falsework
    supports the shuttering molds.
    MATERIAL USED FOR
    FORMWORK

    Timber Steel Aluminium


    TIMBER FORMWORK

    Timber Formwork :
    The use of plywood in concrete forming for form facing has
    improved the quality of finished concrete.
    •The relatively large sheets of plywood have reduced the cost
    of building and at the same time have provided smooth
    surfaces that reduces cost of finishing of concrete surfaces.
    •PIywood is a manufactured wood product consisting a number
    of veneer sheets, or plies
    •Type of plywood can be grouped as exterior and interior. For
    formwork the exterior plywood is used. Adhesive used to bond
    the piles in manufacturing of exterior plywood is watertight
    and gives maximum number of reuses.
    TIMBER FORMWORK
    STEEL FORMWORK

    Steel Formwork :
    • The initial cost of metal formwork is more than timber
    formwork but the ııumber of reuses of metal formwork is higher
    than that of timber.
    • In long run metal formwork can be economical.
    • In heavy construction works metal formwork may require a
    lifting mechanism to handle the formwork panels or props.
    • Steel sheet formwork has the problem of rusting also. To
    avoid rusting, in every use the surfaces should be oiled with an
    appropriate releasing agent.
    STEEL FORMWORK
    ALUMINIUM FORMWORK

    • The System is fast, simple, adaptable and very cost effective.


    • It is unique because it forms all of the concrete in a building
    including walls, floor slabs, columns, beams, stairs, window
    hoods, balconies and various decorative features in exact
    accordance with the architects' design.
    • The dimensional accuracy of the concreted work also results in
    consistent fittings of doors and windows.
    • The smooth–off form finish of the concrete eliminates the
    need for costly plastering.
    ALUMINIUM FORMWORK
    FORMWORK IN COLUMN

    Column Formwork is to be designed to be able to accommodate


    relatively high fresh concrete pressures as comparatively small
    cross-sections are concreted quickly. Therefore, the joints in
    particular are to be formed very carefully and tightly sealed.
    FORMWORK IN BEAM

    Beam formwork consists of joist clamping connectors,


    adjustable fixing beams (side beams) as well as the commonly
    used 20 cm or 24 cm high timber beams.
    FORMWORK IN SLAB

    Slab Formwork essentially consists of a horizontal load-bearing structure which


    supports the form lining and transfers the forces into the shoring.
    Large-sized slab tables are prefabricated. After use, the slab tables are
    transported below the slab to a position which can be reached with the crane
    and, from there, moved to the new concreting section. Tables provide a very high
    level of safety in particular at the slab edges, and ensure very fast shuttering
    times for large-sized areas.
    SHUTTERING & CENTERING

    • It is a vertical temporary arrangement, part of formwork.


    Formwork which supports vertical arrangements is known a
    shuttering
    • Centering is a temporary arrangement and part of formwork
    which is arranged to support horizontal members.
    Formwork for floor beams, and slabs is called Centering.
    INSPECTION & TREATMENT

    Shuttering surface before • Before placing concreting, the formwork


    concreting should be free should be thoroughly cleaned and all dust,
    from any defect/deposit and dirt and rubbish should be removed from it.
    fully cleaned.
    Proper form work should be • The Surface of Formwork coming in contact
    adopted for concreting so as with concreting should be treated with thin
    to avoid honey combing, and uniform layer of form release agent e.g.
    blow holes, grout loss, stains commercial shuttering oils, raw linseed oil,
    or discolouration of soap solution
    concrete, etc
