“…The widespread use of industrial FWSs in building construction projects across the world, as well as new technological advancements in formwork engineering [22,23], necessitated the inclusion of additional criteria in the FWS selection process in the following years. For instance, Krawczyska-Piechna [24] and Krawczyska-Piechna [25] contributed to the relevant literature by introducing criteria, such as flexibility, durability, compatibility, safety, and weight of the FWS for building construction projects in Poland. Loganathan and Viswanathan [26] investigated how FWS alternatives affect the cost, time, and quality performance of building construction projects in India.…”

Selecting the appropriate formwork system (FWS) is a critical aspect in the successful completion of reinforced concrete (RC) building construction projects. The selected FWS has a significant impact on the cost, time, and quality performances of the project. As there are many FWSs and formwork fabricators (FWFs) available, the selection of the FWS depends on several compromising and conflicting criteria. This study aims to identify the FWS selection criteria groupings (e.g., latent factors) and investigate the quantitative interrelationships among them. For this purpose, 35 FWS selection criteria were identified through literature review, and a questionnaire was developed. The data from the questionnaire were statistically analyzed, and five latent factors were identified: FWS-FWF characteristics, structural design, local conditions, cost, and performance indicators. A conceptual framework was developed based on the latent factors, and a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach was utilized to identify the effects among the latent factors. The results of the SEM approach confirmed that FWS-FWF characteristics are affected by the structural design and local conditions and FWS-FWF characteristics have a substantial effect on cost and the performance indicators of the project. The findings of this study may assist construction professionals in selecting the FWS in building construction projects.

Crane selection is an important issue in assembly works planning. Tower and telescopic, stationary and mobile cranes used in construction have essentially different properties. Assembly planning begins in analyzing the possibilities of assembly with a given crane. This is called technical aspect of crane selection. Cranes that meet the technical criteria are then analyzed in terms of other criteria related to the effectiveness of their use on the construction site. The article presents the assessment of the selection criteria and the method of crane selection itself. Surveys conducted among construction managers and planners in Polish companies dealing with assembly works allowed to determine the significance of the selection criteria. For this purpose, an example using SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) and FSAW (Fuzzy Simple Additive Weighting) methods was presented. They also allowed to propose a technique for determining preferences in the use of selected construction cranes. The aim of the research was to increase the usability of computer applications supporting assembly planning by acquiring expert knowledge for the initial selection of organizational solutions.

“…Piechna (2016) [1], Rajeshkumar and Sreevidya (2019) [2], and Radziejowska and Sobotka (2020) [3] covered criteria that could be used to selecting a formwork system and discussed their significance when selecting one. According to time and cost, Deshmukh and Shalgar (2016) [4] compared two methods of formwork (tunnel and aluminum).…”

The construction of reinforced concrete requires formwork, whether from timber, steel, or any other material. Generally, formwork accounts for 20% to 25% of a project's cost. This research aims to come up with new formulas that can guide the engineer in designing timber formwork in a safe, easy, and economical manner. By using the statistical analysis program in this study, we calculated the spacings of studs, wales, and ties in a faster manner than the traditional method by analysing the results of bending, shear, deflection, crushing, etc. The results of the study involve the effects of placement rate, concrete temperature, sheathing thickness, pressure values, and stud and wale sections on the spacing of components of the formwork. There are seven equations built to calculate the spacings of individual components.
