  3. A GOOD FORMWORK REQUIREMENTS BASED A GOOD FORMWORK REQUIREMENTS BASED ON TECHNICALITY ON TECHNICALITY Architectural specifications are to be followed by the exact measurements. This means formwork should be designed and shaped as required. Formwork material is selected according to the requirements of the desired concrete surface. The structure’s design can be horizontal, vertical or both. This means the formwork should be able to support both loads during the construction period. Once the structure is set and dried up, the removal of formwork should not damage the concrete surface.

  4. FORMWORK REQUIREMENTS BASED ON FORMWORK REQUIREMENTS BASED ON FUNCTIONALITY FUNCTIONALITY • Formwork materials should be of reasonable size for easy transportation and stored to be reused in another project. • Formwork should be flexible when fitting and interlocking for the construction process of the project to advance smoothly. • Formwork is supposed to be lightweight and at the same time strong enough to handle the different weight loads of the structure. • Formwork should be hygienic to workers and friendly to handle during and after construction.

  5. TYPES OF FORMWORK BASED ON MATERIAL TYPES OF FORMWORK BASED ON MATERIAL • Timber formwork is fabricated at the construction site using timber. It is easy to use but cannot be used in big structures because it consumes time. • Plywood formwork produces a fine finish on the concrete surface. It is manufactured from wood. • Steel formwork is highly recommended because it has a long life span and can be used several times as compared to timber and plywood. • Aluminum formwork is lighter compared to steel because of its low density. • Plastic formwork uses an interlocking mechanism because of the similar constructing shapes. • Fabric formwork is widely used in complex designs and irregular shapes.

  6. UP TO YOU UP TO YOU Formwork has made it easy for one to construct almost any structure he or she desires, whether it’s a bridge, road or a skyscraper. With the right team and the availability of material, more structures are constructed. This has made life more comfortable and affordable.
