The type and quantities of formwork system are necessary information for construction process of a concrete-framed building and the solution to this problem usually lays on the shoulders of specialized consulting firms or contractor's engineering department. These calculations are generally performed using available procedures and guidelines. The conventional formwork design process is manual and time-consuming, which requires considerable experience and attention to details. The emergence of building information modeling (BIM) in the AEC industry has allowed automation of many time-consuming tasks through application of object-oriented 3D modeling. In this project, a system was developed to automate formwork design process for the concrete-framed buildings. This method first extracts required data for the formwork design from the building information model of the project, which includes concrete elements' dimensions, quantities, and spatial information. It then applies formwork design rules and a database of modular formworks to determine dimensions and type of the formwork for each element. This system demonstrated promising performance in automation of formwork design in two test models.

“…For example, using a durable FWS (i.e., "FWS durability") may eliminate the need for replacement of the FWS and reduce unnecessary cost [10]. Moreover, utilizing industrial and modular FWSs with standard sizes and shapes (e.g., "FWS flexibility", "FWS size") may significantly reduce construction waste and cost [89]. The cost performance and constructability of the building construction project can be substantially improved using BIM applications in formwork engineering [90].…”

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.
