1. What is formwork or shuttering? What are the requirements of good formwork?
Ans:
FORMWORK: The temporary support beneath and all the sides of precast or cast in
situ concrete work is called formwork or shuttering
•
Both formwork and shuttering accomplish the same task but
Shuttering refers to the method of forming the mold using plywood
while formwork is more of a broader term that's used to denote the process
of creating a mold using a variety of materials
•
wood in planks or strips used as a temporary structure to contain setting
concrete, to support the sides of trenches or a temporary structure made from
planks or wood
•
The speed with which construction is done and appearance of the finished
surface are largely dependent on the use of properly constructed formwork
TYPES OF FORM WORK:
There are many types of formwork, some of them are following
01 Formwork for concrete floors and beams
02 Formwork for walls
03 Formwork for columns
04 Timber formwork
05 Steel formwork

REQUIREMENTS OF FORMWORK:
Following are the main requirements for good quality formwork,
1. Easy removal: It should be easily removed.
2. Economy: It should not be so costly so that the owner can’t managed it.
3. Strength: It should be strong enough to support the dead and live loads during
construction.
4. Rigidity: The formwork should be rigid and hard.
5. Smooth surface: It should have plain surface so that it can provide good finished
surface.
6. Less leakage: It should be water tight as far as possible.
7. Light weight: the formwork should be of light weight.
8. Quality: It should be so design so that it could be used several times.
9. Support: The formwork should provide support.

2. Explain formwork for the following components of building with actual photos.
I. Concrete floors
II. RC beams
III. Walls
IV. Columns
ANS:
1.Form Work for Concrete Floors and Beams:
• Formwork for concrete floors and beams are built together. The beam
Rests on the head – trees (It is a horizontal beam connected at top of
the vertical post or shore, through inclined cleats or beams) which are
supported on the vertical member known as props or posts
• The head-trees are backed back to the posts. The posts usually
Rest on the wedges (these are hard wood placed on sole plate).
• The slab is supported by 25-50mm thick sheeting laid parallel to the
beams and supported on wooden battens (A batten is most commonly
a strip of solid material usually wood) laid between the beams.
• The formwork of beams should be removed after 7 days.
• The formwork should be removed when we completely
sure that the concrete floor and RC beams are completely
dry.

2. Formwork for the Walls:
• In his type of formwork, the timber sheeting supported by vertical
studs or posts and horizontal struts or walls.
• If the wall is thin and heavily reinforcement is to be placed one side
of the formwork is completed first and the other side is placed in
position after the reinforcement has been laid.
• To keep the opposite sides of the formwork at correct distance
apart its necessary to applied some method to trying them together
generally we use bolts for this purpose
• Alulite wall panel formwork system is usually used to foundations,
basement and storey-level walls., etc.
• Formwork for a concrete wall is normally built up on both sides of
the wall. Reinforcement bars are laid on wires before the spreaders
are placed and the wall is tied. The studs are approximately 600
mm apart. All studs are braced
• There are two methods of fixing wall forms, one with "wales" and
the other without wales. (Formwork for high concrete wall)
(FORM WORK OFWALL)

3.Formwork for the columns:
• This type of formwork consists of two ends and two side planks
built in one unit or panel.
• The height of the panel is equal to the storey height less slab
thickness and the floor sheeting.
• The width of the sheeting will be same as the dimension of the
column.
• The yokes will be projected 200-250 mm beyond the sheeting at
each end the spacing of the yoke will be same on both sides.
• Bolt holes are created in the sides of yokes about 3mm larger
than size of the bolt for passing and tightening the bolt easily.
• Column Formwork is to be designed to be able to accommodate
relatively high fresh concrete pressures as comparatively small
cross-sections are concreted quickly

3. Describe in your own words the importance of building bye-laws.
ANS:
Definition: The construction of any building, certain restrictions are laid down by
Municipal bodies, Urban development authorities and other government departments
as town planning trusts to clear open spaces to be left round the building.
(or)
The Building Byelaws are defined as the standards &specifications designed to grant
minimum safeguards to the workers during construction, to the health &comfort of
the users & to provide enough safety to the public in general.
• “The human has to no longer have to roam around for a proper shelter but live
in a better planned and construction of such houses, some basic rules and
regulation which may be termed as building bylaws.”
IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING BY LAWS: following are the main importance of building
by laws.
a) Building by laws are made to ensure orderly development of
localities in urban areas so that every house is assured of good ventilation and no
building affects the lighting and ventilation of neighbors.
2. There has to be laws or regulations binding on the prospective builders, if not,
the building constructed will be Un-scientific, Unhealthy and Inconvenient for the
people to occupy.
3. The buildings must get sufficient sunshine, air and ventilation.
4. Open spaces should be well planned.
5. The buildings should create better environment.
6. The buildings should be located in healthy surroundings and should
have an aesthetic appearance.
7. Allows disciplined and systematic growth of buildings and towns and
prevent haphazard development.
8. Protect safety of public against fire, noise, health hazards and
structural failures.
9. Provide proper utilization of space. Hence, maximum efficiency in
planning can be derived from these bye laws.
10. They give guidelines to the architect or an engineer in effective
planning and useful in preplanning the building activities.
BCD PROJECT ZARNOSH KTK

11. They provide health, safety and comfort to the people who live in
Buildings.
12. Due to these by-laws, each building will have proper approaches,
light, air and ventilation which are essential for health, safety and
comfort.
13. Application of Bye Laws like structural safety, fire safety,
earthquake safety, basement, electricity, water, and
communication lines in various building types.
14. Provide safety against diseases.
15. Develop town in systematic manner
16. To make it easier to pre-plan the building activities.

Formwork for the Walls: • In his type of formwork, the timber sheeting supported by vertical studs or posts and horizontal struts or walls. • If the wall is thin and heavily reinforcement is to be placed one side of the formwork is completed first and the other side is placed in position after the reinforcement has been laid. • To keep the opposite sides of the formwork at correct distance apart its necessary to applied some method to trying them together generally we use bolts for this purpose • Alulite wall panel formwork system is usually used to foundations, basement and storey-level walls., etc. • Formwork for a concrete wall is normally built up on both sides of the wall. Reinforcement bars are laid on wires before the spreaders are placed and the wall is tied. The studs are approximately 600 mm apart. All studs are braced • There are two methods of fixing wall forms, one with "wales" and the other without wales. (Formwork for high concrete wall) (FORM WORK OFWALL)

    BCD PROJECT ZARNOSHKTK 6 3.Formwork for the columns: • This type of formwork consists of two ends and two side planks built in one unit or panel. • The height of the panel is equal to the storey height less slab thickness and the floor sheeting. • The width of the sheeting will be same as the dimension of the column. • The yokes will be projected 200-250 mm beyond the sheeting at each end the spacing of the yoke will be same on both sides. • Bolt holes are created in the sides of yokes about 3mm larger than size of the bolt for passing and tightening the bolt easily. • Column Formwork is to be designed to be able to accommodate relatively high fresh concrete pressures as comparatively small cross-sections are concreted quickly (COLUMN FRAME WORK)
