WHAT IS FORMWORK?
Formwork is one type of temporary mold in which concrete is poured to cast
the required shape of concrete. Formworks are made from timber or steel, the
surface in contact with the concrete being selected to give the required finish.
The formwork and its associated false work must have sufficient
strength to support the weight of the wet concrete without significant
distortion.

There are various types of formwork in construction such as Timber

Formwork, Steel Formwork, Aluminum Formwork, Plywood Formwork, Fabric
Formwork, Plastic Formwork.

Generally, once the concrete has gained sufficient strength, the formwork is
removed although in some circumstances it may be left in place (permanent
formwork).

For concrete formwork mostly timber and steel are

the materials most commonly used for formwork, a range of
other materials are used, mainly for specialist applications.

The construction industry shows significant rapid growth with

the commencement of modern technology. Nowadays, building plans and
designs of big structures are created using software, which has improved the
pace, effectiveness, and safety of construction and substantially
lowered costs alongside.

Moreover, Construction material used is far more robust and long-lasting than
those used even a short while ago, helping us to construct safer and
more practical structures.

Formwork is an essential component in the construction industry and can be

termed as a temporary or permanent form into which concrete is poured,
which subsequently becomes hard.
Formwork in construction has been used for hundreds and thousands of
years to aid in building structures of all sizes and shapes. In Addition, different
kinds of formwork have been used in Australia for more than 300 years
ago since colonization.

Importance of Formwork in Construction

• No doubt formwork is essential for any construction; its

main advantage is that it can’t be replaced with any other technology.
• Using formwork concrete structures can be constructed quickly and in
the most affordable way.
• During all construction work period,
a formwork offers appropriate access and working platforms that
considerably enhance workers’ scaffold safety.
• Formwork helps in lowers the timeline and costs of
the project by lowering the floor-to-floor construction cycle time, which
means more projects can fulfill their budgetary demands.
• Formwork facilitates construction managers to offer exact on-time
shuttering and de–shuttering of formwork resources, which results
in improving project effectiveness and resource usage.
• Formwork mainly associated with concrete. It helps in producing smooth
finished surface of the concrete.
• It provides good structural safety by offering solutions
against all overlay loads, producing exceptionally safe and practical
structures.

Types of Formwork in Construction

Different formwork types are as follows,

1. Timber Formwork
2. Steel Formwork
3. Aluminum Formwork
4. Plywood Formwork
5. Fabric Formwork
6. Plastic Formwork
1) TIMBER FORMWORK

Timber formwork is the most common type of formwork among

all others. Timber forms are extensively used in construction from
the ancient period. Timber formwork is the oldest type of
form used in construction.
The Timber formwork is one most used in construction among all other
types of formwork. It offers onsite fabrication of the required
shape and size. It is easily used in any construction but it may
prove time–consuming for large projects. Plywood formwork material
has a short lifespan. Timber Shuttering is low-cost and easily workable
shuttering. It can be cut and joined in any shape and size. Timber
shuttering should follow the following requirement:

• Lightweight
• Well-Seasoned
• Free from termite attacks
• Easily Workable

Advantages of using Timber Forms

• Timber Shuttering is easy to form any shape, size, and height.

• It is proven economical for Small projects.
• It can make using locally available timber.
• Timber is light–weighted compared to steel or aluminum Shuttering.
2) STEEL FORMWORK

Steel formwork is one become more popular due to its strength,

durability, and repetitive reuse for a long period. Steel formwork
is costly for small work but can be used for a large number of projects.
Steel shuttering offers a smooth surface finish to concrete compared to
timber formwork. It can be used for circular or curved structures such
as tanks, columns, chimneys, sewers, tunnels, and retaining walls.

Advantages of Steel Formwork

• Steel has is strong, durable & has a longer life.

• It offers a smooth finish to the surface of the member.
• It is completely waterproof or moisture–proof and minimizes
the honeycombing effect.
• It can be reused for more than 100 times.
• Steel formwork can be fixed and removed with greater ease.
3) Aluminum Formwork

As we know the density of aluminum is less than compare to steel and

that makes it light weighted than steel. This is the
main advantage when compared to steel.
Aluminum formwork is almost the same as the formwork made
from steel. Shuttering down with aluminum form is proven economical if
large numbers of repeating usage are made in construction. Its major
drawback is that no alteration is possible once
the formwork is constructed.
4) Plywood Formwork

Plywood formwork is one of re-molded timber resin-bonded plywood

sheets are attached to timber frames to make up panels of the required
sizes.

It is strong, flexible, and easy to handle. Its life is too short compared to
other materials.
5) Fabric Formwork

With the advancement and new technology trends in

building planning and designing, the construction of complex–
shaped structural members is increased. To satisfy this need the fabric
formwork is introduced which made of the flexibility of
this material make it possible to produce concrete in any shape.

The flexibility of fabric formwork makes it possible to

produce concrete members of any shape.
6) Plastic Formwork

Plastic formworks are lightly weighted, interlocking systems and can be

used more than 100 times. It can be used for normal
concrete construction. This type of formwork is now becoming popular
for similar shapes and large housing schemes.

Advantage of Plastic Formwork

• Plastic forms are light in weight hence requires less handling cost.
• It can be utilized in the large concrete section.
• If careful installation and use, multiple reuses are
possible making it highly economical.
