The Elements of Falsework Structures
Falsework structures are those parts of the formwork which take up and carry off the load from the formwork sheeting and formwork bearers. The main elements of such formwork structures are columns and main bearers.

What are the Common Types of Formwork Sheeting?
There are two types of formwork sheeting: formwork bearers and formwork ties.

What is the Formwork Sheeting?
The formwork sheeting is in direct contact with the concrete and can be considered as a mirror image of the concrete components to be produced. It is the molding element of the formwork and has the greatest influence on the quality of the concrete surface. The formwork sheeting has to resist heavy stress. It takes up surface pressure and carries it off to linearly acting supports. It is typical of the formwork sheeting that, because of the heavy stress and direct contact with the concrete, it is the part of the formwork to wear first. Sheeting boards and prefabricated wooden panels can be used as sheeting material.

Formwork System: Functional and Load Requirements of Formwork
The formwork is the main means of work in the molding process of the concrete. Basically, the process of formwork making has to meet the following requirements: The structural component to be produced is to be molded with the projected dimensions keeping the admissible tolerances. The dead loads of the fresh concrete and of the reinforcement as well as the temporary load of persons and working tools must be safely resisted and carried off to the soil or supporting members of the structure.

Formwork System: Purpose and Application of Formwork
The formwork serves as a mold for concrete structural components unless such mold is provided by the soil, other structural components, etc. It molds the freshly placed concrete, which in this stage normally is viscous, to the shape specified in the drawing.

Formwork System: Types of Formwork
Formwork is a familiar word to our guys who worked in the engineering and building material industry. But do you know how many types of formwork in the world? Below we will make an introduction to this topic.

Preparation and After-treatment of Formwork
Before placing the concrete, the formwork is to be cleaned and checked again for proper execution. After cleaning, the cleaning holes of the wall and column formworks are to be tightly closed since the maximum pressure of the concrete mix is occurring at the foot of the formwork where the cleaning holes are situated.

Construction and Use of Formwork
Formwork involves pouring cement into molds to create large concrete slabs and sections which form parts of a structure. These are strengthened by reinforcement through steel pins which are added to the concrete before it sets. Various types of formwork offer different results: some are stripped away after the concrete has set; some is left in place and set within the concrete.

Types of Formwork
Formwork is a complex technique involved in construction which requires a specialist for proper use. It’s the term given to specific molds or receptacles into which concrete is poured to make slabs for construction or actual components of buildings. Once the concrete has hardened to an adequate level, the forms are removed. This is known as‘stripping’.

Introduction to Formwork System
As a Chinese saying goes, “A freshly built wall is as weak as tofu”. When fresh concrete is placed, it is in a weak state. It requires to be supported by temporary supports and castings of the desired shape until it becomes sufficiently strong to support its own weight. This temporary casing is known as the formwork or forms or shuttering.
