“…The sustainability of formwork is significantly improved by reusing and recycling formwork materials [139]. Steel and aluminium formwork can be reused many times due to their durability, and can be recycled at the end of their life [140]. Timber formwork may also be reused if properly cared for and can also be repurposed or recycled at the end of its life as shown in Figure 3 [29].…”

“…For example, Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be used to enhance formwork design by optimizing the material use and reducing waste [142]. BIM can also improve formwork planning, allowing for better coordination and reducing the risk of damage or errors that could result in waste [50,140]. The sustainability of formwork in concrete construction is a complex issue that involves the consideration of material choices, waste management, and the implementation of technology.…”

This study provides a comprehensive review of the engineering challenges of formwork in concrete construction. The paper investigates different formwork systems, their design based on form pressure, and the difficulties of form stripping. Alternative binders are gaining more and more interest by opening new opportunities for sustainable concrete materials and their impact on form pressure and concrete setting is also investigated in this paper. The discussion involves several engineering challenges such as sustainability, safety, and economy, while it also explores previous case studies, and discusses future trends in formwork design. The findings pinpoint that choosing an appropriate formwork system depends significantly on project-specific constraints and that the development of innovative materials and technologies presents significant benefits but also new challenges, including the need for training and regulation. Current trends in formwork design and use show promising possibilities for the integration of digital technologies and the development of sustainable and ‘smart’ formwork systems. Continued research within the field has the possibility to explore new formwork materials and technologies, which will contribute to the implementation of more effective and sustainable practices in concrete construction.

“…The type of the selected FWS (e.g., aluminium FWS) can have different characteristics compared to other FWSs (e.g., traditional FWS) [19]. In addition, as there are many FWFs available with each fabricator planning, designing, detailing, producing, and supplying different FWSs [86,87], the selected FWS may vary depending on the capacity and characteristics of the FWF. Hence, the structural design may influence the FWS-FWF characteristics.…”

Formwork System Selection Criteria for Building Construction Projects: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach

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.

“…Reducing the cost of formwork can be achieved by making maximum use of material and time and making the design, assembly, and disassembly more efficient [14,15]. Other authors have proposed a method to automate the data from the formwork displayed in 2D CAD into the 3D BIM model of the building [16]. They developed the formwork automation design software tool based on the conversion of randomly arranged vertices among the BIM data of the target structures to a specific form based on certain rules, followed by the setting of specific rules for the face.…”

A Dynamic Model for Effective and Optimal Planning of Formwork in Construction Projects

et al. 2023

The cost of producing one cubic meter of concrete structure, depending on the structure’s shape, type, and complexity, can be variously high. The cost of concrete, reinforcement, formwork, and labor ratio varies. But unlike the cost of concrete and reinforcement, which tend to be similar in the terms of the conditions of a particular construction project, the cost of formwork and work with it are different for different contractors. It often depends on the appropriateness of the formwork system used, the optimal placement of the formwork sets, the minimization of downtime, and the efficiency of the carpenters’ work. Formwork modeling in the construction preparation phase intervenes in this planning area, where construction sources are defined and quantified, and the time course of their deployment is determined. The current paper deals with optimizing formwork selection and deployment in concrete structure execution. Even if several requirements must be considered when selecting and modeling the formwork (e.g., construction time, quality of concrete structure, etc.), an effort to minimize the cost of formwork, and thus construction cost, plays the most significant role. A dynamic model for effective and optimal planning of formwork in construction projects, including formwork cost analysis, is presented in the paper. The included case study demonstrated the planning of the formwork through a software application developed based on the computational algorithm of the dynamic model presented. A case study is presented in the article as a research method. An office building with five above-ground floors and one underground floor was chosen for the case study. To solve the case study, the formwork for horizontal structures (i.e., beams and slabs) is considered. The goal of the case study is to identify research questions and apply time and cost optimization to a selected specific building.
