In general, fabric formwork uses structural membranes as the primary facing material for the concrete molds. Unlike other formwork systems, fabric formwork is very flexible and can provide different shapes to concrete structures.  Its first application can be […]

It can move on its own by using an electric or hydraulic jack. Such formworks are also called self-climbing formworks. It is an effective solution for structures requiring seamless wall units or for high-rise structures with repetitive […]

This enables construction to be carried out on dry surfaces. A braced or strutted cofferdam is a temporary enclosure consisting of vertical or horizontal sheeting with internal struts. It is probably the most common type of all cofferdams because […]

For instance, concrete weight, rate of placement, vibration, the temperature at the time of pouring, chemistry, and slump. Formwork designers need to take these factors into considerations during the design process. The freshly placed concrete behaves temporarily like […]
