Abstract

The formwork system of floor slab is an important element in construction of multi-storied RCC buildings which governs the duration and cost of construction. The formwork and shoring structure does not extend to the foundation after the first few slab levels. Generally the formwork and back propping of one or two levels is provided. The research articles give insight on various technical parameters (slab shore load distribution, age of concrete, spacing of shores etc) that affect the design of formwork system. The case studies of failure during construction throw light on causes of failure. The use of proper formwork system will speed up the construction process of overall building with lesser cost.
