DIVISION 3: FORMWORKS/ SCAFFOLDING

Formworks shall include all temporary or permanent forms required for forming the concrete together
with all temporary construction for their support. It shall be as specified in the plan.

General Requirements:

Form for column, beam, and scaffolding

Plywood is a versatile construction materials used as wall partitions, cabinets, and furniture.
Plywood is also utilized in both building as well as forms for reinforced concrete constructions.

Materials:

Plywood as form is economical in terms of labor cost. It is lightweight and handy. It has smooth
surface which may not require plastering and less consumption of nails. It also eases of assembling and
disassembling and always available in the market.

Materials to be used:

• 1/4” x 4” x 8’ plywood

• 2” x 2” x 12’ lumber

• 2” x 3” x 12’ lumber

• 4” x 8” x 14’ marine plywood

Execution:

Forms must be simple and economically designed in such a manner that they are easily removed
and reassembled without damage to themselves or to the concrete.

Scaffolding is a temporary structure of wooden poles and planks providing platform for workers
to stand on while erecting or repairing of building it is defined as a temporary framework.
 CONSTRUCTION OF FORMWORKS

All forms for concrete works shall be properly braced or tied together so as to have the sufficient
strength, rigidity, shape and surface smoothness. Concrete forms shall be mortar-tight or sufficiently
tight to prevent seepage of water.

All joints in formwork shall be water-tight. Where reinforcement projects through formworks, the form
shall fit closely round the bars. Formwork shall be so designed that it may be easily removed from the
work without damage to the faces of the concrete.

Form fasteners consisting of form bolts, clamps or other devices shall be used as necessary to prevent
wrecking the forms during concrete placement. The use of ties consisting of twisted wire loops to hold
forms in position will not be permitted.

Formworks shall not be reused after it has suffered damage, which is sufficient to impair the finished
surfaces of the concrete.

PREPARATION OF FORMWORKS

Before each concrete operation commences, formworks shall be cleaned of all rubbish and other foreign
particles. The Contractor shall not use an emulsion of oil suspended in neither water nor any release
agent, which causes staining or discoloration of the concrete or affect the strength of the concrete.

In cases, where it is necessary to fix reinforcement before placing formwork, all surface preparation of
formworks shall be carried out before it is placed into position.

Special care shall be taken to maintain the stability of the form works and the tightness of the joints
particularly during concrete vibrating operations. The Contractor shall maintain a watch on the
formworks during placing to ensure that no movement occurs. If any movement noticed, the formwork
shall be set right immediately.

REMOVAL OF FORMWORKS

Formworks shall be carefully removed without shock or disturbance to the concrete. No formworks shall
be removed until the concrete has attained sufficient strength to support its own weight and any loads
that maybe placed on it. Side forms of beams and girder maybe removed earlier than the bottom forms
but the additional posts or shoring must be placed under the beam or girder until its attains the
sufficient strength.

The minimum periods, which shall elapse between completion of placing concrete and removal of
forms, are given below:

Minimum Time Minimum % Design Strength:

Beams 14 days 80%

Slab 14 days 70%

Walls 1 day 70%

Columns 2 days 70%

Sides of beams 1 day 70%

DIVISION 4: CONCRETE AND MASONRY with REINFORCEMENT

Before any batching, mixing, transporting, placing, compacting and finishing and curing the
concrete ordered or delivered to site, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer full details including
Drawing of all the plant which he proposes to use and the arrangements he proposes to make. Concrete
for the works shall be batched and mixed in one or more plants or concrete mixer unless the Engineer
agrees to some other arrangement. If concrete mixers are used, there shall be sufficient number of
mixtures including stand by mixers.

The concrete shall be discharged from the mixer and transported to the works by means which
shall prevent adulteration, segregation or loss of ingredients, and shall ensure that the concrete is of the
required workability at the point and time of placing. The loss of slump between discharge from the
mixer and placing shall be within the tolerances. The capacity of the means of transport shall not be less
than the full volume of a batch. The time elapsing between mixing transporting placing and compaction
altogether of a batch of concrete shall not be longer than the initial setting time of the concrete. If the
placing of any batch of concrete is delayed beyond this period, the concrete shall not be placed in the
works.

Structural concrete is any class of concrete which is used in reinforced, pre-stressed or

unreinforced concrete construction which is subject to stress. Non-structural concrete is composed of
materials complying with the Specification but for which no strength requirements are specified and
which is used only for filling voids, blinding foundations and similar purposes where it is not subjected to
significant stress. A pour refers to the operation of placing concrete into any mould, bay or formwork,
etc. and also to the volume which has to be filled. Pours in vertical succession are referred to as lifts.
