FORM WORK AND FALSE WORK
Form and the false work are very important for all concrete structures in question
for these have influence on strength and durability of the structures. For this
reason form work must be correctly designed and installed. . The design of the
form work shall take in to account the required surface conditions
also(appearance compatibility with the required finish). This form work and false
work together must provide safe working conditions. Safe access must be
provided using additional scaffolding as necessary.
DESIGN.
The choice of form work and false work structure is very important , the majority
of defects and accidents are attributable to structural deficiencies of form work.
The strength and stability of form work, false work shall be designed for the
loads which they are liable to experience in service by method appropriate to
their constituent materials. The design shall be checked by calculation, testing,
application of accepted rules and must be carried out by competent personnel.
The loads and pressure to which form works and false works are exposed
originate mainly form the weight of concrete ( specially the horizontal thrust
component of fresh concrete the weight of the form work itself, the laying and
fixing of reinforcement load transfer on prestressing and as a result of wind heat
fluctuation ground settlement etc. therefore it shall be properly considered in
design of form work.
The deformation of work shall be compatible with the tolerance required of the
structure, and shall not adversely affect its behavior .Stiffening arrangements
shall be provided as per design requirements.
COMPATABILITY WITH CONCRETING OPERATION.
a)
Form work and false work shall be compatible with the method of
planning and vibration envisaged with the prestressive requirements and
with the curing schedule for the concrete.
b)
For vibration through the form work excessive energy losses through the
support (Plastic suspension of the shuttering)should be avoid..
TIGHTENING OF FORM WORK.
a)
2.5
The form work shall be designed to prevent loss of material during
concreting, particular care must be exercised to ensure the grout tightness
of the joints between panels of the sheeting and between it and hardened
concrete.
b)
Joints can be made grout – tight by ensuring proper contact between the
edges of the panels the shape of which may have been specially
designed. In some cases joint will need to be sealed with compressible
gaskets or taps.
FIXING THE FORMS
a)
Where device for holding the form work in place pass through the
concrete these shall not affect the concrete.
b)
Ties and spacers left in situ shall not impair ether the deracility or the
appearance of the structure (For instance by leaving these of………….)

Consideration should be given:
i)
To the stresses due to the weight of the concrete and due to any
imposed loads.
ii)
To the striking operations.
iii)
To environmental conditions.
2.7
ERECTION SUPPORTS.
Foundation false work and form work shall be positioned by skilled, personnel
with plan and specification.
2.8
ASSEMBLING FALSE AND FORM WORK
Particular attention must be paid to the making of structural joint transmission of
loads structure equilibrium and resistance to backing and subway.
2.9
TOLERANCES
Form work shall be so constructed that the finished concrete is within the
required tolerances commutative tolerances shall be considered as well as
tolerances on single members.
2.10
PREPARING THE FORM WORK FACES..
The sheeting surface intended to come in contract with freshly made concrete
shall be clean. Approved releasing Agent shall be applied in thin uniform layer
land the concrete should be placed soon enough after this to, prevent loss of its
effectiveness.
2.11
CONTROL OF FORM WORK.
i)
Indicator should be installed at critical points to detect excessive
deflection of the form work.
ii)
Form should be anchored to the props below so that up or lateral
movement of any part of the forms will be prevented.
iii)
Where there is a possibility of movement means of adjustment (welded
or jacks) should be provided to permit realignment of readjustment of
prop.
iv)
Where the form work is trafficked by operatives or equipment traffic
should neither cause significant deflection nor bear directly on
reinforcing steel.
v)
During and after concreting but before starting of the concrete form work
systems should be checked for position. Appropriate adjustment should
be made promptly where necessary. If during concreting any weakness
develops in form work, any undue settlement or distribution, the work
shall be stopped and remedial action taken. Form work shall be
