Abstract

Formwork is a major component of any Civil engineering construction. It constitutes about 35 to 45% of the total cost of the structure. The use of conventional formwork will lead to wastage of materials, time and money. In some cases conventional formwork will not meet the structural requirement. The aim of the study is to review existing column formwork and to arrive at cost effective and easy to handle formwork by making comparative study. It is envisaged that such a formwork will be more productive and possible to use for more number of cycles.
