CE3008 Form Work Engineering Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

 On completion of this course the students will be able to know the detailed planning of formwork, design of forms and erection of form work.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO FORM WORK

Introduction to Formwork and false work, Temporary work systems, Requirements, Construction planning and site constraints, Selection, and Classification (Types) of Formwork, General objectives of formwork building – Planning for safety – Development of a Basic System – Key Areas of cost reduction – Planning examples – Overall Planning – Detailed planning – Overall programme – Detailed programme – Costing – Planning crane arrangements – Site layout plan – Transporting plant – Formwork beams – Scaffold frames – Framed panel formwork.

UNIT II FORMWORK MATERIALS ASSESORIES & PRESSURES

Formwork Materials, Accessories and consumables – Application of tools, Reconstituted wood – Steel – Aluminum Plywood – Types and grades Standard units – Corner units – Pass units, Calculation of labour constants – Formwork hours – Labour Requirement. Hardware and fasteners – Nails in Plywood – Allowable withdrawal load and lateral load. Pressures on formwork – Examples – Finish – Sheathing boards working stresses – Repetitive member stress Vertical loads for design of slab forms – Uplift on shores – Laterals loads on slabs and walls.

UNIT III FORMWORK DESIGN

Concepts, Formwork Systems – components, assembly, De-shuttering, safety of work and Design for Tall Structures, Foundation Wall, Column, Slab and Beam formworks. Design of Decks and False works. Effects of various loads. Loading and moment of formwork, IS Code provisions.

UNIT IV FORMWORK FOR SPECIAL STRUCTURES

Formwork for Bridge Structures, Shells, Domes, Folded Plates, Overhead Water Tanks, Natural Draft Cooling Tower, Nuclear Reactor, Tunnel, Lift Shaft, stairs and Formwork for Precast Concrete. Various climbing system, Table lifting system.

UNIT V CASE STUDIES

Formwork failures: Causes of failures – Inadequate shoring inadequate bracing of members – improper vibration – Premature stripping Errors in design – Case studies – Finish of exposed concrete design deficiencies – Safety factors – Prevention of rotation – Stripping sequence – failure formwork issues in multi – story building construction – vertical and horizontal elements used in the industry.
