LP39 Stripping Formwork Components

This document discusses the process of stripping formworks after concrete curing. It defines stripping as the removal of formwork components and accessories carefully, safely, and sequentially. The factors that determine the appropriate time for stripping include the concrete mixture proportions, specified strength, member size and shape, weather conditions, and future exposure conditions. The document provides guidelines for the order of removing formwork based on the structural element, as well as procedures for maintaining, storing, and reusing formwork components.

Learning Packet No. 39 STRIP FORMWORK COMPONENTS

Performance Standards

Upon completing this learning packet, you should be able to:

1. Formwork components and accessories staging area is identified and prepared


based on job requirements.
2. Formwork components and accessories are removed carefully, safely and
sequentially.
3. Formwork components and accessories are sorted, arranged and properly
staged according to company rules and regulations/manufacturer's
recommendations.
4. Formwork components and accessories are cleaned, oiled and stored according
to company rules and regulations/manufacturer's recommendations.
5. Formworks components are shored and re-shored in accordance with stripping
procedures.
6. Shores are removed in accordance with standard dismantling procedures.

A. Definition
1. Curing is the process in which the concrete is protected from loss of moisture
and kept within a reasonable temperature range. The result of this process is
increased strength and decreased permeability. Curing is also a key player in
mitigating cracks in the concrete, which severely impacts durability

The length of adequate curing time is dependent on the following factors:


 Mixture proportions
 Specified strength
 Size and shape of concrete member
 Ambient weather conditions
 Future exposure conditions

Deshuttering is a process after curing

2. Deshuttering in simple means, the process of removing the shuttering


(Formwork for Concrete).
 Order and method of removing formwork
 Shuttering forming vertical faces of walls, beams & column sides should
be removed first. Shuttering forming soffit to slab should be removed
next.
 Shuttering forming soffit to beams, girders or other heavily loaded
members should be removed in the end.

TLE – CARPENTRY 2
B. Factors considered:
 Concreting is done under normal circumstances
 Cement used is Ordinary Portland Cement
 Adequate curing is done
 Ambient temperature is not fall below 15 degree

C. Time of Removal of Formwork

TLE – CARPENTRY 3
D. Striking, Maintenance, Storage of Formwork

Striking
 As column and beam side formwork will be removed before beam and slab soffit
formwork, provision must be made for easy removal and in the correct order. If
beam and slab soffit formwork is to be removed before the concrete has
achieved working strength, permanent propping or shoring is required.
 Take care to avoid damage to formwork which is to be re used. Eight or more
uses may be obtained from timber formwork.

Maintenance
 Clean forms with stiff brush and clean cold water.
 Use scrapers only as a last resort.

TLE – CARPENTRY 4
 Keep forms well oiled to prevent delamination of plywood or rusting of steel and
always oil the edges.

Storage of forms
 Any formwork with steel components should be stored in the dry.
 Avoid direct sunlight on timber forms.
 Store clear of the ground without twist or bend, and keep free of dirt.
