What Is Formwork?
Formwork is a die or 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.

MERITS OF LNT FORMWORK:

Simplicity in assembly of system. The system is flexible, easy to understand and versatile. Can be made suitable for all applications, requires little working skill

and helps to achieve uniformly good quality of finish. High labor and material productivity with speed and safety. Investment need may be made on the minimum quantity of formwork. More no. repetitive usage. Greater life span and less labor requirement. Able to resist more lateral pressure of liquid concrete. Less chance of theft & misuse due to heavy weight & large size. Easily modifiable as compare to steel formwork,accurate, safe and speedy construction

Demerits Of LnT Formwork:

High initial investment. would be handicapped without tower crane. Require more mechanized setup at site. Handling and placing is very difficult, it requires separate shade to store them. In house training require to increase labor efficiency. Proper storage space is required when job is over

Materials Used for Formwork:

TIMBER & PLYWOOD: Plywood is used as a

sheathing member STEEL :It is used as a supporting member. ALUMINIUM :Light weight, corrosion free, higher initial investment cost, excellent reusability.

System Of Formwork:

Advantages of wall Formwork

Ideal system for speedy construction.
Wall panels can be dismantled and handled

manually. Minimizes the number of sheathing joints. Simple shuttering and de-shuttering operation. Wall Formwork panels facilitates fixing of working platform and alignment system

Flex Formwork:

Components Of Flex Formwork:

H-Beam
Floor Form Plywood Collapsible Telescopic Prop Four way head

Removable folding tripod

Supporting head Assembly wedge clamp

Advantages Of Flex Formwork:

Effective for slab and beam formwork upto floor heights of

4.4 m. Removable folding tripods make selected individual prop self standing Flexibility in spacing between and heights of individual props. Components are light enough for erecting and dismantling manually. Lapping of standard lengths of H-Beams both in primary and secondary layers avoid their cutting at site. Avoids skilled labour at site Enables re-propping and frequent reuse of materials. Simple deshuttering operation.

Table Formwork System:

Components Of Table Formwork :

H-Beam
Plywood Collapsible Telescopic Prop

Table head / U-Head

Assembly wedge clamp

Advantages Of Table Formwork:

Can be transferred as complete set, hence no loss

of components Shifting trolley provides superb mobility in horizontal direction Quick to shift, faster construction Easy fixing, high labour productivity Less props in relation to area

Heavy duty tower system

Components Of HD Tower System:

Basic Frame size of 0.9 m, 1.2 m, 1.8 m
Horizontal Brace Diagonal Brace Foot Plate U-Head Tower spindle with lever nut Beam span 2230

Beam span extension 1525

Coupler Brace stirrup Short prop

Advantages Of HD Tower System:

High load carrying capacity is > 25 tons per tower. Rigid and stable with minimum bracings. Easy to erect and dismantle using unskilled labour. Tower as a whole can be shifted using crane and transport wheels. Ideal for heavy floors involving greater heights. Can be converted into stair tower with additional standard components. Heights upto 700mm can be made by spindles at top and bottom

Stair tower

Components of Stair Tower:

Basic Frame 1.2 m
Foot Plate Tower spindle with lever nut Coupler Spring locked connecting pin Horizontal Brace Scaffolding pipe Swivel coupler Stair Bracket

Intermediate Railing
Inner hand railing Connection Angle Grid Iron

Quick Deck System:

Quick Deck System:

Super-sized panels yield high productivity
Lower plywood costs Fewer accessories limit in-fill expenses

Easier preplanning and design

Reduced labor and increased productivity Excellent finish Less Re-shoring Less Maintenance and Cleaning Modular flexibility

Common Terms Used In Formwork System:

Catering Area : The formwork area need to be mobilize for the

project to execute the total scope of formwork in prescribed duration. Catering Area =Total Scope (Sqm)/Total Duration (Days) /Cycle time (Days) It is generally described in Square meter

Repetitions: The no of times the catering area used to execute

the total scope of formwork.
