Abstract

Formwork largely accounts for approximately 30~40% of the frame work cost. However, the economic-feasibility of formwork declined owing to a lack of skilled labor in construction sites and increased labor cost, and completion of the work is delayed and relevant cost is increased caused by no standard design system and reluctance to use new construction methods. In particular, installing and removing plywood forms generally used for concrete pouring in beams are not only complicated, but also they are time-consuming and effortful. Moreover, there are several problems related to the structure, quality, duration and cost. In this regard, the study proposes the Formwork System for the Beams to improve the existing problems of formwork and to conduct it with more accuracy and shorter duration. However, no analysis on productivity as the system is applied on site is made for this study. Therefore, further studies on analyzing the productivity resulting from actual application of the Formwork System should be conducted.
