Wood work

1. Formwork
 is a temporary structure that is required to support and form
concrete members
 It is erected to contain and mould the wet
concrete during placing and the initial hardening period.
 Proper selection of formwork has greater influence:
• On reducing materials and labor cost,
• Improving the quality of the produced concrete and
• Saving time leading to smooth running of the projects
 Cont….
 Requirement of good form work
• The joints in the formwork should be tight against leakage of
cement grout.
• it should be constructed in such a manner that it may permit
the removal of various parts in desired sequence without
damaging the concrete.
• The material of the formwork should be cheap, easily
available
and should be suitable for reuse several times.
 Cont….
• it should be as light as possible.
• It should be set accurately to the desired line and levels and
should have plain surfaces.
• The material of formwork should not warp or get distorted
when exposed to sun, rain or water during concreting.
• All joints of the formwork should be stiff

 Setting out
• Setting out is the process of placing
architectural drawing of the building from a
plan in to the ground on the given site
• Setting out dimension is equals to the
dimension of ground plan and including
working area.
 Cont…
• Steps of setting out:
• Reference points are established
• Profile boards (wooden pegs) are fixed around the site to be
excavated the board shall be 2m far from the excavation
• The center line of pad is set out
• The inside and outside line of excavation is marked
• By stretching string, 90 degree checked by diagonal
checking
• If all dimensions are corrected and all corners are
orthogonal, cutting lines are in the ground using lime
powder
