AGENTS

III. GREASING AND FORMWORK RELEASE AGENTS

FORM-RELEASE
AGENTS
prevent moisture absorption, ensure form
separation, and protect concrete surfaces.
Barrier-type agents: Create a physical barrier
between form and concrete, often made from diesel,
heating, or motor oils.
Chemically reactive agents: Contain fatty acids that
react with lime in concrete, forming a soap that
increases formwork durability and water resistance.
Prime Buildworks

III. GREASING AND FORMWORK RELEASE AGENTS

GREASING
Forms are greased before use to prevent water
absorption, which can cause swelling and
warping, and to avoid concrete adherence to
wood pores.

Crude oil mixed with motor oil (1:3) is


commonly used for greasing, with thicker
mixtures recommended for warmer weather.

SELECTION OF MATERIALS

Common Materials:
Timber, Steel, Aluminum and,
Plastic/Modular

Considerations: Budget,
type of construction, and
desired finish.

concrete, workers, and equipment. It should
comply with the DPWH Standard
Specifications and Building Code.

Approval of Formwork Design: Ensure that


the formwork design is approved by a
licensed structural engineer in line with
DPWH regulations.

ASSEMBLY OF Plywood Templates: is used

FORMWORK to position dowels and anchor


bolts accurately, ensuring
proper alignment. Protect
sticking dowels with 1 ½-
inch-thick wood covers or
protective caps to prevent
injuries, and verify all safety
measures are in place before
concrete pouring.
Prime Buildworks CE3C

ASSEMBLY OF Reinforcement Placement:


Place rebar inside the

FORMWORK formwork as per design


specifications, ensuring
proper spacing, alignment,
and coverage. Use spacers
to prevent shifting, and add
tension cables or cross-
braces for large-scale
formwork to withstand
concrete pressure.

Formwork Ties:
Hold panels
together and resist
concrete pressure.

Temporary

CHECKING
ALIGNMENT
AND LEVELING
Check Alignment: Use laser levels and
measuring tools to ensure straight

Prime Buildworks

POURING
CONCRETE
Once the formwork is securely in place

Pour steadily to avoid cold joints.


Use vibration to eliminate air pockets
and compact the concrete.
Monitor formwork for integrity during
pouring.
Prime Buildworks CE3C
Prime Buildworks

CURING OF
CONCRETE
Curing: Keep the concrete moist during
curing to prevent cracking and ensure
hydration. The formwork stays in place
for 24-48 hours, depending on the
concrete mix and environmental
conditions, to protect against heat,
wind, and rain.
Prime Buildworks

STRIPPING OF
THE FORMWORK
Stripping: Once the concrete has gained
sufficient strength (typically around
70% of its final strength), after 24-48
hours, the formwork can be stripped. The
formwork is carefully removed without
disturbing the shape or surface of the
concrete.
Prime Buildworks CE3C

FORMWORK REMOVAL
Prime Buildworks

INSPECTION AFTER
FORMWORK REMOVAL

Inspect for Defects: Check for cracks


and surface irregularities.

Formwork Reuse: Inspect for wear and


damage if formwork is to be reused.
Prime Buildworks CE3C

SAFETY MEASURES
Always wear appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE), including safety glasses,
gloves, and hard hats.

Ensure that all workers are properly trained in


formwork installation techniques.

Inspect all formwork materials before use to


ensure they are in good condition.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for


formwork assembly and installation
Prime Buildworks CE3C

SAFETY MEASURES
Perform “Load Testing”
(testing procedure): If the
formwork is used for large or
high-load concrete pours,
perform a load test to verify
that it can handle the weight
of the concrete without
excessive deflection.
Prime Buildworks CE3C

SAFETY MEASURES
Use appropriate lifting
equipment to move heavy
formwork components.

Monitor the formwork during


concrete pouring for signs of
strain or failure.
