Formwork

◦ Formwork is a mould including all supporting structures , used to

shape and support the concrete until it attains sufficient strength to
carry its own weight .
◦ It should be capable of carrying all imposed dead and live loads apart
from its own weight .
◦ Formwork is commonly made of
◦ Steel
◦ Timber

3
◦ Formwork has been in use since the beginning of concrete
construction.
◦ New materials such as steel , plastics and fiberglass are used in
formwork.
◦ Greater attention is being given to the design , fabrication , erection
and dismantling of formwork.
◦ Formwork is designed according to The ACI document SP - 4 .

4
Qualities of Formwork
◦ It should be water tight .
◦ It should be strong.
◦ It can be reusable.
◦ Its contact surface should be uniform.
◦ It should be according to the size of member .

5
◦ Sheeting for slabs, beam,column side and beam bottom
◦ 25 mm to 40mm thick

6
Lateral Pressure on Formwork
◦ During the entire process
concrete formwork is subjected
to various loads and forces.
◦ In a placement, fresh concrete, at
least near the top and sometimes
at greater depths, behaves like a
liquid during vibration and
generates lateral pressures equal
to the vertical liquid head.

Factors Affecting Lateral Pressure on
Formwork

Weight of Concrete
Rate of Placement
Vibration
Concrete Temperature
Concrete Slump
Concrete chemistry
