    The document provides instructions for a mid-semester examination on construction materials, equipment, and heavy construction methods. Students are asked to answer one question covering several topics related to concrete formwork design. They must: 1) State criteria for wooden formwork design; 2) List loads and pressures on formwork; 3) Identify factors affecting lateral concrete pressure. They are also asked to 4) Design formwork for an 8-inch thick suspended concrete roof slab based on specified materials; and 5) Determine appropriate joist, stringer, and shore spacing while illustrating in sketches. Finally, students must 6) List five factors to consider for formwork striking.

    Mid Semester Examination, Semester 2 – AY 2022/23

    Module Name: Construction Materials, Equipment & Heavy


    Construction Methods
    Module Code: CVE 4007

    Date: March 2023

    Theory/Practical: Theory

    Groups: B. Eng. 4 – Civil

    Duration: 2 Hours

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Answer the question below.


    Question 1 (100 Marks)

    i. State the different criteria for design of wooden concrete formwork. (10 marks)

    ii. List the various types of loads and pressures act on concrete formwork. (5 marks)

    iii. Lateral concrete pressure on formwork is affected by: (10 marks)

    iv. Design the formwork for a suspended concrete roof slab 8 in. thick. Sheathing will be
    3/4-in Ply form (structural 1), while 2 x 4 in. Southern Pine will be used for the joists.
    Stringer will be 4 x 4 in. Southern Pine. Assume that all members are continuous over
    three or more spans. Commercial 4000-lb shores will be used. It is estimated that the
    weight of the formwork will be 10 lb. /sq. ft. (35 marks)

    v. Maximum deflection of form members will be limited to 1/360. Use the minimum value
    of live load permitted by the American Concrete Institute (ACI). (15 marks)

    vi. Determine appropriate joist spacing, stringer spacing and shore spacing. Illustrate your
    answers in clearly labeled plan and elevation sketches of the formwork.
    (15 marks)

    vii. Formwork Striking is the process of removing the formwork form concrete. List five (5)
    factors that should be considered before and during Formwork Striking. (10 marks).
