INTRODUCTION
FORMWO
RKS
The structural members of a building are built-up to its desired shapes and
dimensions through the use of forms.
Formwork in concrete construction is used as a mold for a structure in which fresh
concrete is poured only to harden subsequently. By using formwork in construction,
the concrete structure can be built faster.

PLYWOOD
Plywood as form has the following advantages:
• It is economical in terms of labor cost.
• It is lightweight and handy.
• It has smooth surface
• Less consumption of nails.
• Ease of assembling and disassembling.

SAMPLE PROBLEM # 1
SIX CONCRETE POSTS AT 4.00 METERS HIGH WITH A UNIFORM CROSS-SECTIONAL
DIMENSION OF 0.3M × 0.3M. SPECIFY THE USE OF 6MM (1/4") MARINE PLYWOOD ON A 2" BY 2"
WOOD FRAME. LIST DOWN THE MATERIALS REQUIRED USING A CONTINUOUS RIB TYPE FORM.
GIVEN:
no.of columns = 6
column height = 4.00
a= 0.3
b=0.3
use 29.67
Quantity Surveying | Forms | Group 6
SOLUTION
GIVEN:
no.of columns = 6
column height = 4.00
a= 0.3
b=0.3
use 29.67
STEP 1
Quantity Surveying | Forms | Group 6
SOLUTION STEP 2
A = P x column height × no. of columns
A = 1.4 x 4 × 6
GIVEN: A = 33.6 square meters
no.of columns = 6
STEP 3
column height = 4.00
Np = A / 2.88
a= 0.3
Np = 33.6 / 2.88
b=0.3 Np = 11.67 say 12pcs of plywood
use 29.67 Np = 12pcs of plywood
STEP 4
STEP 1 Nf = Np x 29.67
P= 2 ( a + b ) + 0.2 Nf = 12 × 29.67
P= 2 (0.3 + 0.3 ) + 0.2 Nf = 356.04
P= 1.4 meters Nf = 356 board feet of 2" by 2" frame

SAMPLE PROBLEM # 2
TEN CONCRETE BEAMS WITH CROSS SECTIONAL DIMENSIONS OF 0.3 BY 0.6 METER HAS A
UNIFORM CLEAR SPAN OF 4.50 METER. USING 1/4" THICK 4' BY 8' PLYWOOD FORM ON A 2" BY 2"
LUMBER FRAME. LIST DOWN THE MATERIALS REQUIRED.

SAMPLE PROBLEM # 2
TEN CONCRETE BEAMS WITH CROSS SECTIONAL DIMENSIONS OF 0.3 BY 0.6 METER HAS A
UNIFORM CLEAR SPAN OF 4.50 METER. USING 1/4" THICK BY 4' BY 8' PLYWOOD FORM ON A 2" BY
2" LUMBER FRAME. LIST DOWN THE MATERIALS REQUIRED.
GIVEN:
no.of beams = 10
d = 0.6
b= 0.3
length = 4.5
Quantity Surveying | Forms | Group 6
SOLUTION STEP 2
A = P x beam length × no. of beams
A = 1.6 x 4.5 × 10
GIVEN: A = 72 square meters
no.of beams = 10
STEP 3
d = 0.6
Np = A / 2.88
b= 0.3
Np = 72 / 2.88
length = 4.5 Np = 25pcs of plywood
STEP 4
Nf = Np x 25.06
STEP 1 Nf = 25 × 25.06
P= 2d + b + 0.1 Nf = 626.5
P= 2(0.6) + 0.3 + 0.1 Nf = 627 board feet of 2" by 2" frame
P= 1.6 meters
