INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITION-MULTISTOREY BUILDING

• Emporis standards-
• “A multi- story structure between 35-100 m tall or a building of unknown height from
12 – 39 floors is termed as high rise”

• The international conference on fire safety-

• “Any structure where the height can have a serious impact on evacuation”

• Building code of Hyderabad, India –

• “A high rise building is one with 4 floors or more or 150 m or more in height”

• Massachusetts, United States general laws –

• “A high rise is being higher than 70 feet (21 m)”
 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
• There are 3 major factors to consider in the design of all structures
• -Strength
• -Rigidity
• -Stability

• As height increase, the rigidity and stability requirements become more Rigid structure to increase stability
important, and they are often the dominant factors in the design. So,
• - The size of the members may be increased above and beyond the strength
requirements
• - Change the form of the structure into something more rigid and stable to
confine the deformation and increase stability
• -P - ∆ effect, In which the eccentricity of the gravity load increases to such a
magnitude that it brings about the collapse of the columns as a result of axial
loads
• - Therefore, an important stability criterion is to assure that predicted wind
loads should be below the load corresponding to the stability limit
• - The second consideration is to limit the lateral deflection to a level that will Variation of wind velocity with height
ensure that architectural finishes and partitions are not damaged
 FORMWORK IN HIGH RISE BUILDING
• In a tall building construction with reinforced concrete structures , the selection of a appropriate

MATERIALS AND METHODS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTIO-VIII

formwork system is a crucial factor for the success of the project. Thus, selecting an appropriate formwork
system affects the entire construction duration and cost, as well as subsequent construction activities.
• Formwork is the use of support structures and Moulds to create
structures out concrete which is poured into the Moulds. There are many
different types of formwork used in construction, usually differing
according to what the building requirements and challenges are in
construction.
• Formwork is used by creating Moulds out of wood, steel, aluminum or
prefabricated forms into which the concrete is poured. This is then
allowed to harden and set after which it
is stripped, or in the case of stay-in-place formwork it is left as part of the
structure.
Early history of formwork in High Rise Buildings:
• Travelling through time, one learns that the art of proportioning of concrete was known to the Roman
builders and the Pharaohs of Egypt in a primitive way. Most current research and development occurred in
the mid to late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

4, April-2016 17 ISSN 2229-5518
• Techniques of concrete for the design and construction of buildings have been used by
architects and engineers like Frank Lloyd Wright, Pier Luigi Nervi, Robert Maillart and, more
recently, Fazlur Khan, application with regard to high-rise structures is the most recent, and

MATERIALS AND METHODS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION-VIII

each of these people had a hand in the development and use of concrete in form works as it
exists today in various forms.
• As materials testing continued to improve along with steel and masonry, built forms of
reinforced concrete with Form work systems were witnessed both in Europe and the United
States. Factories, warehouses, residential houses and low-rise apartment buildings were
considered appropriate uses of concrete.
Types of Formwork :
• Conventional Formwork.
• Steel Formwork
• Aluminium Formwork – High Rise
buildings
• Modular Formwork – High Rise buildings

FORM WORK IN HIGH RISE BUILDING

FORMWORK FOR HIGHRISE BUILDINGS

• The selection of formwork systems in high-rise

buildings is often governed by their competence in
optimizing concrete activities in an isolated manner,
without relating this choice to the entire construction
workflow.
• Advanced high-rise formwork technologies have an
upper hand over the regular ones.
• The importance of advanced high-rise formwork
systems in streamlining the workflow of concrete and
other downstream activities allows for a better high
rise structure allowing for better resource allocation.
• Additionally, there is more waste reduction, smaller
work batches, less inventory, and safer working
environment.

Adaptability & Flexibility (Fixable Sizes)
Quality Formwork should be modular and adaptable for various sizes and
shapes of the structural system, so that it can be used for many projects. Formwork
Availability should be viable for the particular project based on cost and availability.
Quality & Surface Finish
Quality of structural finish of the concrete is to be adequately
addressed by strength of the formwork as well as its resistance to deformation.
Cost Architectural finish of the concrete depends on sheathing material used. The
sheathing materials such as plywood, steel, aluminium, and rubber should be
appropriately chosen based on the required finish and feasibility.
Safety Repetition (Life Span)
Repeating the same layout from floor to floor assures that the workers
learn quickly, thus increasing productivity and decreasing labour cost. The forms
also can be effectively reused from floor to floor. The form pace material must be
Supply selected to be capable of consistently imparting the desired concrete finish
(smooth, textured, featured or exposed aggregate etc.)

Availability
Material and supplier availability consider for avoiding shortage problems during execution.

MATERIALS AND METHODS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION-VIII

Cost
This is a vital factor for deciding formwork system as one must know the capital provision for
formwork in the project. It is always beneficial to work out these details at the time bid. That
cost influenced initial cost, reuse cost, maintenance cost, and availability of lifting device. All
the formwork is very expensive. On average about 35% of the total cost of any finished
concrete unit or element can be attribute to its formwork; of this just over 40% can be taken
for material for formwork and 60% for labour.
Type Of Structure
The structure may be commercial building or a residential building and the system to be
chosen is based on adaptability of formwork to suit the requirement.
Maximum Load Capacity
Formwork must be capable of safely withstanding without distortion or danger the dead
weight of the fluid concrete is placed on it, labour weight, equipment weight and any
environmental loadings.
Time Factor
Faster floor cycle is always desirable for contractors and owners. For contractors, faster floor
cycle allows the contractor to finish on schedule or earlier which reduces the overhead cost.
For the owner, faster floor cycle reduces the short term financial charges and allows early
utilization of the constructed facility. Source:

Accessibility to Work
Proper access to work place is an important requirement and sufficient space for the shifting
of panels and storage.

MATERIALS AND METHODS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION-VIII

Erection and Dismantling
Form panels and units should be designed so that their maximum size does not exceed that
which can be easily handled by hand or mechanical means. In addition all formwork must also
be designed and constructed to include facilities for adjustments, levelling, easing and de
shuttering without damage to the form work or concrete.
Suitability of Work for Labours
Easy handling of form materials and work with comfortable that include lifting, erection and
dismantling.
Accuracy
Formwork must be accurately set out so that the resulting concrete product is in a right place
and is of correct shape and dimension. All joints in form work must be either close fitting of
covered with form tape to make them grout tight. If grout leakage occurs the concrete will leak
at that point. Leakages cause honey combing of the surface.
Weather Condition
Vertical forming systems are sensitive to weather conditions. Typically, in vertical forming
systems, the newly placed concrete is supported by the wall already cast below it. The lower
wall section must gain sufficient strength to support the fresh concrete above. The rate of
strength gain for the lower wall is influenced by ambient temperature, moisture content, and
freezing and thawing cycles.

MATERIALS
• REQUIREMENTS
• In general, for high rise buildings the resistance to overturning moment and lateral deflection will almost always require
additional material over and above that required gravity load alone
• The material required for floor framing is a function of the column to column span and not building height
• However the material required for the vertical system, such as columns and walls in high rise structures is substantially
more than that of low rise building
• The material increases in the ration (n + 1)/2, where n is the number of floors, because the vertical components
carrying the gravity loads will need to be strengthened for full height of the building , requiring more vertical steel than
a one – storey structure having the same floor area
• TYPES
• The structural materials used in high-rise buildings are typically one or a combination of (reinforced or pre-stressed)
concrete, structural steel and composite systems.
• Structural material systems for high-rise buildings should be chosen by carefully considering architectural, economical
and site factors. The economic drivers vary by geography as the relative costs of material, labour, time and space vary
from one location to another.
• Other factors to consider in choosing the structural material include: local market preference/availability; project
size/height; building form (regular vs complex); design considerations (fire performance, dynamic performance,
adaptability, and the like); site location/access; and speed of construction.
TYPES OF FORMWORK for HIGHRISES
• 1. SLIP FORMWORK
• Slip formwork is a construction method in which concrete is poured into a
continuosly moving form
• Basically, this method involves the continuous placing of concrete in a
shallow mould having the same plan as the building to be constructed.
• This rigid mould or slip form forms the working deck which is jacked slowly
upwards at a controlled rate until the required elevation is reached
• Method of vertically extruding a reinforced concrete section and is suitable
for construction of core walls in high ride structures, lift shafts, stair shafts,
towers
• The formwork rises continuously at a rate of about 300 mm per hour,
supporting itself on the core and not relying on support or access from
other parts of the building or permanent works
• Allows for continuous pouring of concrete into walls of a structure and only
stops when the full required height of the structure has been reached
• The height of the formwork is designed in such a way that while the top of
the formwork is being filled by concrete the lowest layer of concrete Slip Formwork
poured earlier has already gained an initial set
• When the formwork is moved upwards the concrete that is then exposed
remains firm.
• 2. JUMP FORMWORK or CLIMB FORM CONSTRUCTION
• Generally the jump form systems comprises the formwork and
working platforms for cleaning/fixing of the formwork, steel fixing
and concreting
• Jump form, often described as climbing form, it is suitable for
construction of multi – floor vertical concrete elements in high –
rise structures such as shear walls, core walls , lift shafts, stair
shafts and bridge pylons
• It is highly productive system designed to increase speed and
efficiency while minimizing labor and time

Jump Formwork
• 3. CLIMB FORM CONSTRUCTION
• It is a special type formwork for vertical concrete structures that
rises with the building process.
• It is economical, rapid and accurate method of constructing
reinforced concrete or post tensioned concrete structures
• At its most basic level, climb forming is a type of movable
formwork which is slowly raised, allowing continuous extrusion of
concrete
• Effective solution for buildings that are either very repetitive in
form (such as towers or skyscrapers) or that require a seamless
wall structure
Climb form construction
Climbing Formworks
Climbing formwork is a special

that rises with the building process. While
relatively complicated and costly, it can be an
effective solution for buildings that are either
very repetitive in form (such as towers or
skyscrapers) or that require a seamless wall
structure .

Various types of climbing

formwork exist, which are either
relocated from time to time, or
can even move on their own
(usually on hydraulic jacks,
required for self-climbing and
gliding formworks).
Types
Crane-climbing: the formwork around the

MATERIALS AND METHODS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION-VIII

structure is displaced upwards with the
help of one or more cranes once the
hardening of the concrete has proceeded
far enough. This may entail lifting the
whole section, or be achieved segmental.

Self-climbing: In this type the

structure elevates itself with the help
of mechanic leverage equipment
(usually hydraulic). To do this, it is
usually fixed to sacrificial cones or
rails emplaced in the previously cast
concrete.
Components of Climbing Formworks
Climbing formworks should be assembled or might be rented along with the following components:
•Platforms for concrete workers
•Wall formwork material and pieces
•Lifting beam
•Additional working platform
•Suspension platforms
Also be sure that the equipment has the right components to plumb, horizontally and vertically, the
formwork. Some of the models are also equipped with rails that will facilitate the formwork removal,
so you can clean and repair concrete if necessary.

FORM WORK IN HIGH RISE BUILDING

Self-Climbing Formworks Benefits
•They usually do not require a crane to move them, reducing your general condition cost.
•Increased construction speed is obtained by allowing the vertical and horizontal parts of a building
to be built concurrently.
•It minimizes labor time and has a better productivity rate (these systems are designed for repetitive
actions) and less labor is required to set up the forms.
•Increased safety as the labor of setting and removing is less than traditional systems
•It does not need additional supports to the formwork (it is supported by the walls just poured).
•It can be used during almost all types of weather.
•Normally, they provide an area for use as a scaffold.
•High-quality surface finishes can be achieved.
•Can sustain high winds (better productivity on windy days)
•The formwork system is easy to clean and reuse with little waste generated compared to traditional
systems.
•Other protection systems (screens) can be hung off a big jump form and climbed with the system.
•Some of these systems can be installed in such a way that even a concrete pump can also be
used within the same area and space.
•Long lengths can be obtained combining different sections for each particular project.
•Some formwork systems can be used at an inclined angle.
•Once the learning curve has passed, performance will be optimized and work will be completed
faster.
•These systems will minimize the usage of scaffolding and temp work platforms.

• A table form work is a large pre – assembled formwork and falsework unit, often
forming a complete bay of suspended floor slab
• It offers mobility and quick installation for construction projects with regular plan
layouts or long repetitive structures so it is highly suitable for flat slab and beam
layouts
• It is routinely used for residential, hotels, hostels, offices and commercial
buildings

• The column formwork systems now available are normally modular in nature and
allow assembly and erection on site while minimizing labor and crane time
• They are available in steel. Aluminum and even cardboard (not reusable but
recyclable) and have a variety of internal face surfaces depending on the concrete
finish required
SYSTEM COLUMN FORMWORK
• Innovations have led to adjustable, reusable column form which can be clamped
on site to give different column size

• 6. TUNNEL FORMWORK
• Tunnel formwork is used to form repetitive cellular structures and is widely
recognized as a modern innovation that enables that construction of horizontal
and vertical elements together
TUNNEL FORMWORK
• Significant productivity benefits have been achieved by using tunnel form to
construct cellular buildings such as hotels, low and high rise housing, hostels,
student accommodation, prison and barracks accommodation
ISSUES
• 1. FUNDS - Cost is a major factor.
• 2. LOCAL RULES AND REGULATIONS - Planning permission, often there will be certain rules to comply to when using a certain amour of space
• 3. PLANNING
• One of the biggest problems in construction of a skyscraper is planning. To construct a small house you need a progress schedule. To build a
skyscraper you need a critical path schedule. Usually a tall building is built in a high density area and street traffic has to be taken into
consideration for delivery of materials and erection of scaffolding and cranes.
• 4 .LIGHTING - Shadows can cast over other buildings and mess with light levels.
• 5. MATERIAL USED - Materials being Able to take certain strains
• 6. DESIGN FOR LATERAL FORCES
• With really high buildings the wind and temperature becomes a major factor, and the building needs to accommodate for the sway and
stretch of the skyscraper.
• 7. AXIAL SHORTENING OF VERTICAL MEMBERS
• In a tall building, you'll have the issues of axial shortening (from elastic deformation and creep) which could introduce additional P-Delta
effects to design against and affect the centre of gravity of the building. To address this, you'd have to have a look at the construction program
and ensure that the shortening effects in columns/walls are relatively equal across the board.
• 8. Load bearing capacity of the soil.
• 9. Social, cultural, political, and historic issues.
• 10. Availability of labor and resources.
• 11. Risk of earthquakes and extreme weather.
CONCLUSION
• The spurt in high-rise projects around the country has been instrumental in giving the much needed fillip to climbing
formwork systems.
• With a perceptible shift in buyer behaviour, contractors today have today become aware that the significant cost and
time saving accrued due to the use of formwork systems; can help offset the perceived high initial capital, in a rather
quick period of time.
• Rental companies too have taken a clue from the market trends and are today incorporating formwork as part of their
product portfolio in increasing numbers.
• With newer high-rise projects being launched, almost every alternate day, the market for formwork systems, is
expected to quite literally, touch dizzy heights in the next few years.

also integrated into the structure.
•This proves to be a major advantage as
compared to other modern construction
techniques.

•High quality Mivan Formwork panels ensure

consistency of dimensions. On the removal of
the formwork mould a high quality concrete
finish is produced to accurate tolerances and

•The high tolerance of the finish means that,
no further plastering is required.
Construction technique

MATERIALS AND METHODS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION-VIII

1.Setting up the wall reinforcing
steel -
The wall reinforcing steel is used to
give a structure to the building and
support the concrete until they gain
half of the required strength. The
aluminium formworks are cast
around the steel mesh, which is
factory made and directly erected on
the construction site.

2. Pouring concrete –
After casting the forms, high-quality concrete is poured. This concrete takes the form
and shape of the cast, which is later removed to make way for a structure made
entirely of cement concrete supported by wall reinforcing steel. The aluminium forms
can be reused at least 250 times, resulting in minimum waste from the construction
site.

company employs over 9,500 employees and generated revenue of € 1.56 bn last year.
The company name is taken from the Greek preposition "peri" (English: around).
PERI has introduced many panel based pre-engineered wall formworks

Wall Formworks
•The girder wall formwork consists of timber and/or steel girders connected to each
other that form the support surface for the formlining.
•The optimization of individual elements and the development of a wide range of
accessories for connections and attachments still makes girder wall formwork cost-
effective in spite of the relatively high number of components

•A major advantage is the flexibility in order to

be able to adapt to complex shapes and high
loads.
•In particular, architectural concrete structures
with special requirements for surfaces and
anchor patterns can often only be efficiently
realized with girder wall formwork.
Slab Formwork
•Slab formwork is designed as per the

depth of concrete slab over, filling the slab
portion between beams having large
surface area.
•The loads on plywood are usually
considered as being uniformly distributed
over the entire surface of the plywood.
•The concentrated load “d” can by
transformed in a uniform distributed load,
by dividing it to the span “l”
