I – Lesson: Prepare tools,equipment and materials for installing formworks

components according to job requirements

II – Learning Outcome(s): 1. Identify tools and materials for installing formworks

III – Performance Standards: The learner independently Identify tools and materials
for installing formworks

IV – Information:

Installing formwork components and form panels is one of the most important tasks
in rough carpentry works. Materials and tools should be properly checked, selected,
and prepared per job requirements. Scaffold installation is also important in this task
because it is utilized when formwork installation is made.

Since trees are the source of lumber, you must be aware that only fully matured
trees are big trees that are ready to cut as lumber for commercial purposes, subject
to the laws, directives, and other legal procedures implemented by the Government.
This is aligned with the Government’s thrust in preserving the wholesome
environment and contribute in addressing the harmful effects of global warming.
Because of the scarcity of lumber, it has become expensive, and alternative
materials are now used such as pre-fabricated steel used in scaffoldings and staging.

 Materials
• Plan and working drawing are sketches of the specific formworks and form
panels to be fabricated with all the necessary dimensions and details drawn to scale.
Lumber refers to a piece of wood or stock, maybe coco lumber or good lumber,
usually 2” x 2” in cross section used as form stud.

• Assorted CWN refers to the different sizes of nails ranging from 1”-4” (25mm-
100mm) in length. Common wire nails (CWN) are the most commonly used.

• Plywood refers to the board commonly used as covering in constructing of

forms.
• Ordinary plywood is commonly used as form, limited to two or three times of
its use.
• Marine plywood is a waterproof type of board which is more suitable to use in
concrete as form and it could be used multiple times.

While plywood is available on standard English measurement, plans on the other

hand are presented in metric system. Knowledge in measurement conversion or vise
versa is necessary

Phenolic Boards
Boards with resin that has high temperature stability which can be used in
formworks

 Tools
 Claw hammer is a driving tool used to
drive and pull out nails.

 Pencil/marking pen is a tool used to

mark lines and end points used as
guide in lining and cutting plywood and
lumber.
• Pull-push rule or Measuring Tape is a measuring tool made of metal. It is
available in 3m-7.5m in length and is used in laying out and constructing of forms.

• Nylon string is used in laying out the forms for its

horizontality and verticality in installation.

• Steel Square is a highly accurate testing tool used for squaring bigger objects
such as in squaring the foundation of a building.

• Try square is an accurate tool used to test the squareness of smaller objects
and in checking the squareness of forms

• Cross-cut saw is a tooth-cutting tool used to cut plywood or

wood for form construction.
• Chalk line is a lining tool used to make straight lines surface. The chord or
string is tied to a nail and pulled out on a surface and snapped to make a straight
line.

Plumb bob is a testing tool used to check the vertical alignment of the form in
installation.

• Crow bar is a straight iron or steel bar, with the point flattened and
sometimes set at an angle, used for wrecking and pulling out large nails.

• Spirit level is a testing tool used to check the horizontal alignment of the form
commonly used in the installation of beam forms.

I – Lesson: Wood Defects

II – Learning Outcome(s): 1. Identify wood defects

III – Performance Standards: The learner independently Identify the wood defects
IV – Information:

In the construction of formworks wood is the most

important material needed. You will be selecting the appropriate
lumber for every part of the forms. You also need to learn how to identify
the different defects of wood which may cause unnecessary failures in
the assembling process.
Bow
A curve along
the face of a
lumber that
usually runs
from end to end.
Cupping

DR
Warping along
the face of a
board across
the width of
the board. This
often occurs
when one side
dries faster the
other

Checking
A crack in
the wood
structure of a
piece, running
lengthwise
usually caused
by rapid
seasoning.
Split
A longitudinal
separation of
the fibers which
extends to the
opposite face of
a piece of sawn
timber.

Crook
Warping along
the edge from
one end to the
other. This is
most common
in wood that
was cut from
the center of the

DRAFT
tree near the
pith.

Twist
Warping in
lumber where
the ends twist
in opposite
directions.

Wane
The presence of
bark or absence
of wood on
corners of a
piece of lumber.
Blue Stain
A discoloration
that penetrates
the wood fiber.
It can be any
color other than
the natural
color of the
piece in which
it is found. It is
classified as
light, medium,
or heavy and is
generally blue
or brown.

Machine Burn
A darkening of
the wood due
to overheating

DR
by the machine
knives or rolls
when pieces
are stopped in a
machine.

Pitch
An
accumulation
of resinous
material on the
surface or in
pockets below
the surface of
wood. It is also
called gum or
sap.
Loose Knot
Cannot be
relied upon to
remain in place
in the piece. It
is caused by a
dead branch
that was not
fully integrated
into the tree
before it was
cut down.

Tight Knot
A knot fixed
by growth or
position in the
wood structure

DR
so that it firmly
retains its
place in the
surrounding
wood.

Wood bores
Holes in the
wood caused
by insects and
beetles.

Properties of Wood

 Physical Properties

 Moisture content is the ratio of the mass

of water contained in the mass of the same
sample of dry wood.

 Shrinkage occurs when wood loses moisture below

the fiber
saturation point.
  Density of wood is determined by the
amount of cell wall substance and the
volume of voids by the cell cavities
(lumens) of the fibers.

 Permeability is influenced by the anatomy of the wood

cells.

 Mass properties of wood are conductivity, heat, and

coefficient
of thermal expansion.
 Electrical properties of wood are the dielectric constant and the
dielectric power factor alternating curren
 The single most useful electrical property of
plywood is its resistivity, or inability to conduct
electrical current. The mechanism of electrical
conduction depends upon the presence of ions
in the wood

 Mechanical Properties
 Elasticity of wood depends on grain orientation,
moisture, species, temperature, and rate of
loading.

 Strength is dependent upon rate of loading,

species, moisture, contents, orientation,
temperature, size and location of natural
characteristics such as knots and specimen size.

 Vibration damping and sound velocity are two

primary vibration phenomena of interest in
structural application.
