    Formwork Design

    Requirement
    1. Strength

    Forms and shutters have to be designed to


    support dead weight, live load and hydrostatic
    pressure. Sheathing must be rigid enough to
    resist bulging.
    2. Speedy erection and dismantling:

    The formwork design and the methods of assembly must


    be as simple as possible to reduce time spent in erection
    and dismantling. The formwork should be simple to
    remove without causing damage to the concrete.
    3. Tightness of joints:

    The liquid retaining properties of the formwork


    must be adequate to prevent leakage of
    cement and fine aggregate from the concrete.
    4. Rigidity:

    Brace formwork and support to ensure no movement may


    take place under wind pressure, or when the concrete is
    being placed and vibrated. The shutters must be rigid
    enough to keep the concrete member within the allowable
    tolerances.
    5. Reuse:
    Design for unit construction, if possible, so that you can strike and
    reuse as soon as possible. Use clamps,
    wedges, and similar devices to hold sections of formwork in place.
    Avoid nailing as much as possible, nail holes and bruising of the
    timber will spoil formwork for further use. The formwork material
    must be durable and capable of producing a good
    surface finish.
    6. Ease of handling:

    Forms and shutters must be of a size and


    weight that can be handled by the labor and
    plant available on site.
    Adjustment:

    Arrange all props, shores, and struts so that they can


    be properly adjusted. They must bear on sole plates, so
    that the load is safely distributed on to the structure
    below.
    Removal of debris:

    Provide all formwork with special cleanout holes to


    allow for the removal of sawdust, shavings, and other
    debris from the bottom of the formwork before the
    pour begins.
    SHEATHING
    There are various types sheathing
    available. The appropriate sheathing mus
    t be selected to
    obtain the specified finish required. Optio
    ns include:
    1.
    Sawn or planed timber ‐ edges may be square cut or tongue and grooved, t
    o prevent grout leakage. An alternative is a foam strip inserted between
    the boards.

    2. Plywood ‐ exterior grade or “formply” are


    available in various thickness. The grain on
    the outer face must be parallel with the span of the wall formwork framing.
    3. Tempered hardboard ‐ produces a good
    finish, however, is less resistant to damage a
    nd multiple use.

    4.Plastic linings give a good finish, however, i


    t must have a solid backing.
    5.Rubber linings are sometimes used for te
    xtured finish. •

    6.Glass fiber or other similar molds maybe


    used for various architectural features on w
    all or window panels.
