• SPEED • QUALITY
A formwork system if not appropriately Quality of concrete can be affected by formwork in
Designed to fit the actual site condition will have the following ways:
Low efficiency and affect the speed of work a. The accurate shape of the formwork panel
(e.g., Wrong selection due to insufficient experience in b. Dimensional accuracy of the formwork
using the system, inefficient fixing method, difficult c. The verticality, leveling or alignment of the
location of work, more labor intensive etc. d. Formwork

• Low initial cost large sized
• Most popular panels
Nature of Operation • Manually Operated
• Self-Lifted
• Crane-Lifted
• Gantry/Traveling/ Tunnel Type Systems
COMPONENTS OF SLIPFORM
• The slipform system is designed
with varied features. Generally,
it consist of yoke legs.
• Yoke legs are employed to lift
and sustain the weight of the
entire structure, so that it
behaves as a single unit.
• Yoke legs are also used to
connect with the beams,
scaffoldings and working
platforms to serve the
supporting purpose.
• To the yoke legs, walk-away
brackets are connected. These
walkway brackets will enable
proper placement of the
concrete.
• MIVAN FORMWORK
Mivan is the name of the company which invented "Aluminum Formwork".
• In Mivan shuttering we can cast the whole slab, beam, and column at one go making the unit a
composite structure.
• In this system of formwork construction, cast–in–situ concrete wall and floor slabs cast monolithic
provide the structural system in one continuous pour.
• To facilitate fast construction, early removal of forms can be achieved by hot air curing/curing
compounds.
• The frames for windows, doors, and ducts for services are placed in the form before concreting.
• Staircase flights, façade panels, chajjas and jails etc., and other pre-fabricated items are also
integrated into the structure.
• High-quality Mivan Formwork panels ensure consistency of dimensions. On the removal of the
formwork mold a high-quality concrete finish is produced to accurate tolerances and verticality
• The high tolerance of the finish means that no further plastering is required.
Advantages
1. Fast completion of floors
2. Uniformity in structural components.
3. Good finishing can be seen.
4. No need of plastering.
Disadvantages
1. Expensive, used for typical floors only.
2. Initial setup takes time.
3. Construction joints should be executed
properly.
4. Alignment maintenance needs skilled
laborers.
5. Holes caused by wall tie should be
grouted properly with GP2 else the will
be problem of leakage in columns
DOKA
DOKA uses lightweight steel construction with yellow coated frames faced with a wood/plastic-
composite sheet
ENCLOSURE SYSTEMS
The Enclosure is the term given to any
part of a building that physically
separates the external from the interior
environment. It is often referred to as the
‘building envelope’, although ‘enclosure’
is considered the more precise term. The
physical components of the building
enclosure include:
Function
A building envelope serves many functions. These functions can
be divided into 4 categories :
Stick System:
• Stick system are often used on low to mid rise buildings.
• Fabricated as individual pieces and parts
• Assembled and erected on the job site.
• Generally supported off of the face or top of the
buildings floor structure.
Unitized System
• Benefit greatly from repetition of form and extensive ‘shop’ fabrication.
• Fabricated as individual units in shop environment
• Erected on the job site with a minimum of additional field assembly required.
Double-wall assemblies
• Ventilated double wall systems are assemblies consisting
of 2 glazed walls often separated by an air cavity.
• Designed to increase the use of fresh air and daylight
for the building occupants
• Increase the overall energy efficiency of the building.
• Automatic Daylight control
• Draw heat away from the interior
• Insulates interior during the cooling season
ADVANTAGES
• High thermal insulation.
• High moisture movement.
• High shrinkage.
• Acoustic properties.
• Durability.
• Fire insulation
ZINC PANELLING
Lightweight material par excellence, Zinc is a non-ferrous
metal that provides an effective solution for coating
buildings exposed to adverse weather conditions while
simultaneously delivering a creative response to the
requirements of the program and the users of the project.
• Zinc panels can adapt to complex shapes
and be precisely perforated
Zinc responds to the environment and protects itself over
time
• Striated panels increase rigidity and avoid deformations
in the material
GLASS-REINFORCED CONCRETE
Glass-reinforced concrete (GRC), or glass-fiber
reinforced concrete(GFRC), is a construction material
that is commonly used to form exterior cladding
panels. It has grown in popularity with architects
and engineers because of its ability to be formed
into various sizes, shapes, or profile
• GRC is typically manufactured in thin sections, by
machine-spraying an enriched ordinary Portland
cement and aggregate mix with glass fibers
dispersed throughout. These fibers serve a similar
purpose to steel rebar in reinforced concrete but
are not susceptible to rust.
Lightweight materials include lightweight concrete and plastics and other composite
materials used for construction.
A representative survey of trade visitors has shown that about half consider lightweight
construction a priority when it comes to developing innovative components, followed by
the reduction of materials cost and automation
TYPES
Applications
• Load bearing and
• Non load-bearing walls
ADVANTAGES
• Excellent thermal insulation
• Acoustic absorption properties
• Light weight
NO FINES CONCRETE
No fines concrete is one type of
lightweight concrete. As the name
indicates, this is a concrete mix without
fine aggregate or sand. This type of
concrete consists of only water, cement,
and coarse aggregate.
DISADVANTAGES
• Very sensitive to water content in the mixture.
• Difficult to place and finish because of porosity and angularity of the aggregate. In
some mixed, the cement mortar may separate the aggregate and float towards the
surface.
• Mixing time is longer than conventional concrete to assure proper
mixing.
• Lightweight Concrete is porous and shows poor resistance.
Glass-reinforced concrete
Glass-reinforced concrete (GRC), or glass-fiber
reinforced concrete(GFRC), is cement plus sand,
and the glass fibers. Glass fibers are used as
reinforcement for concrete.
Application
Building renovation works Water
and drainage works Bridge and
tunnel lining panels Architectural
cladding Acoustic barriers and
screens
Advantages
• its ability to be formed into various sizes,
shape, or profile
PLASTICS
'Plastic' is a general name given to a wide
range of synthetic materials that are based on
polymers.
ACRYLIC
• Sheeting is often referred to as
Plexi Glass or Acrylic glass.
• It has been around for decades
and is a much stronger and safer
alternative building material than
glass and other plastics.
ACRYLIC
USES
• Commercial and Residential Windows
• Skylights
• Secure Facilities
• When it comes to security, plexiglass acrylic plays an essential role. Government
buildings, ATMs, detention centers, and other secure facilities use plexiglass to keep
the building and people safe. Because it’s much lighter than other materials,
plexiglass acrylic is easy to install and is extremely cost-effective.
• It has a very high resistance to damage and abrasions, making it one of the
strongest plastics, providing a high level of protection for facilities.
• Solar Panels
ETFE
Ethylene tetra fluoro ethylene is a fluorine-based
plastic. It was designed to have high corrosion
resistance and strength over a wide temperature
range
USES
• Cladding and roofing membranes
• Floor and wall coverings
• Window and door profiles
• Wiring and cable sheathing
• Insulation
• Pipes and conduit
POLYCARBONATE
• Polycarbonate is a kind of thermoplastic- that is a
polymer that becomes pliable or mouldable above
a specific temperature and returns to a solid state
upon cooling.
• Polycarbonate panels are used mainly for façade
glazing and cladding, as an alternative to glass or
GRP curtain walling and cladding, as well as
conventional rain-screen systems. They can also be
used for roofing, canopies, and interior design
elements.
• Polycarbonate falls under engineering
thermoplastics.
• Because of specific properties that allow them to be
used in rigorous applications, particularly in the
electronics, automotive, construction and
manufacturing fields.
Applications
1. Interior designs
2. Outdoor works
Advantages
1. Economical cladding material
2. Durable and strong
3. Easy installation
4. Unbreakable
5. Stain resistant
6. Weather resistant
