Formwork

An advantage of
plywood in form
construction is that
it can be bent
when a curved
surface is required.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

A release agent is
sprayed on panels to
be used for concrete
forms to facilitate form
removal. Follow
manufacturer
instructions for the safe
use and application of
form-release agents.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Outside form walls are


erected and rebar is
placed prior to
constructing inside
form walls.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Wood braces are


equipped with
turnbuckles at their
lower ends to allow
wall panels to be
aligned. Turnbuckles
are fastened to the
ground with steel
stakes. A brace plate is
used to attach a brace
to a waler or stiffback.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Allsteel wall braces


may be used to support
wall forms. Braces
should be properly
positioned to provide
adequate support.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Metal window frames


are secured to outside
form walls as the
walls are erected. The
frames remain in
place after the form
walls are removed.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Door and window


bucks use similar
construction
techniques. Door
bucks do not
require a bottom
piece with an
inspection pocket.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Rebar is placed after


the outside form walls
are set and before
the inside form walls
are erected.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Bulkheads may be
required in long walls.
Bulkheads are made
of 1 8s or 2 4s
which are notched
around the rebar.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Form walls are


doubled up after the
rebar, door and
window frames, and
utilities have been
properly located.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Snap ties are used to


secure and properly space
opposing form walls.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Internal disconnecting
ties are commonly used
on heavy walls.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Heavy construction
panel forming
methods commonly
use 2 4 studs,
which are reinforced
by walers. Note the
snap tie wedges
along the walers.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Studs are not


required for some
singlewaler
systems supported
by strongbacks.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Pilasters provide
additional strength to a
wall and support the
ends of beams. After
the wall forms are
positioned, walers and
studs will be placed.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

When assembling
and placing wood
column forms, tight
joints and strong
tie supports
around the form
are necessary. A
cleanout hole is
provided at the
bottom of one of
the sides.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Scissor clamps are


tightened and held in
place by cam devices
or wedges driven into
slots in the clamp.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Tubular fiber forms for


round columns have
been set in place and
braced. Rebar will be
set inside the tubes,
and then concrete will
be placed.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Column spring forms are stripped by removing the


flange bolts and pulling apart the flanges.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

A structural frame for


a concrete building
may include columns,
beams, and girders.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Columns, girders,
and beams may be
formed as a single
(monolithic) unit.
Note that the beam
and girder join over
the column.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Concrete is placed at
the same time for the
walls, columns,
beams, and girders of
a monolithic unit.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

This concrete floor system features a slab resting on


concrete joists that tie into girders.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

A flatslab floor may


be supported by
drop panels over
the columns.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

A flatslab floor
may be supported
by drop panels
and capitals over
the columns.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Long pans used for


oneway joist systems
rest on 2 thick soffits
supported by shores
and stringers.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Fiberglass dome
forms are in place for
a two-way joist
system. Here, the
worker is applying
compressed air
between the concrete
slab and dome forms
to loosen them.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Tubular shores and metal beams are commonly used


with heavy construction formwork.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Metal scaffold shoring


is used to support high
form soffits.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Engineered wood
products, such as
laminated veneer
lumber (LVL) beams
and wood I-joists,
provide proper support
for form soffits.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Slab decks may be


supported by wood
shores and stringers.
Wedges placed under
the shores or screw
jacks attached to the
shores provide for
vertical adjustment.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Rebar is placed over


the deck of the floor
form. Note the opening
for the beam extending
the length of the deck.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

When constructing
firstfloor heavy
construction forms
over foundation
footings, wall forms
are first placed,
followed by column,
beam, and deck
formwork. Note
reinforcing steel is
not shown.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Rebar for columns


usually extends past
the floor and beams
that are supported by
the columns. Rebar
extending from this
column will be tied to
additional steel
placed inside the
form for the column
of the floor above.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

An outside wall panel is fastened


to a previously placed floor using
anchor bolts which are
embedded in the floor slab.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Rebar extending from


the floor level above
and below is tied to
rebar in the stairway.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

A closed concrete stairway is built between two walls.


Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Prefabricated gang
forms commonly include
walers, strongbacks,
lifting brackets, and
scaffold brackets. Note
the toprails, midrails,
and toeboards in place
to protect workers
against falls and prevent
materials from falling
from the platforms.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

The support for a flying


floor form unit is
provided by aluminum
trusses placed on either
side and aluminum
beams placed across
the trusses. A plywood
deck is fastened on top
of the beams. Adjustable
jacks are used to raise
the unit into position.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Flying forms used for floors or other structural


members are set into place by crane.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

Slip forms are


commonly used in the
construction of tall
buildings. Concrete is
transported to the
upper level of the
building and is placed
in forms using a
pumping apparatus.
Unit68HeavyConcreteConstruction
Formwork

The basic design of


a standard slip form
includes jackrods,
hydraulic jacks,
cross beams, and
yoke legs.
Additional features,
such as scaffold,
are custom made
for the structure
being erected.
