Cast-in-place concrete is a construction technique that utilizes a
temporary formwork to shape the concrete slurry until it hardens.
A concreting technique which is undertaken in site.
Cast-in-place concrete is the preferred choice for concrete slabs and
foundations, as well as components such as beams, columns, walls, roofs.
also known as poured-in-place concrete.
CENTRIFUGAL CASTING
Thomas Edison championed the use of removable forms in the
construction of concrete houses.
The technology for casting concrete in removable forms—the beginning
of the reinforced concrete construction industry—dates back at least to
the 1850s, not long after portland cement was patented
ADVANTAGE C A S T - I N - P L A C E
Strength
• The primary benefit of cast-in-place concrete is its high level of
strength.
• Cast-in-place concrete is appropriate for basement walls and home
foundations
Insulation
• Another advantage of cast-in-place concrete is the high degree of
insulation it provides.
Versatility
• Cast-in-place concrete is highly versatile, meaning builders can use it
for a variety of types of homes and buildings.
DISADVANTAGE C A S T - I N - P L A C E
Labor Requirements
• One of the only real disadvantages to cast-in-place concrete is the high
amount of labor it requires.

WHAT IS A FORMWORK? A Formwork is a temporary structure used as
mold for the original structure. There are different materials available to
construct the formwork.
Different Formwork Materials
TIMBER AS FORMWORKS MATERIAL
Most commonly used material.
Most economical material
PLYWOOD AS FORMWORKS MATERIAL
It consists number of veneer sheets or plies in layers
plywood boards are available in thicknesses from 7mm to 32mm.
In general, plywood of size 1220 x 2440 and 18mm thick boards a re
sufficient for most of the works
STEEL AS FORMWORKS MATERIAL
Steel can also be used as formwork material.
ALUMINUM AS FORMWORKS MATERIAL
Aluminum formwork is used often for pre-fabricated formworks
PLASTICS AS FORMWORKS MATERIAL
Used for small concrete structures or for complex portions of the
structure.
METHODS
Casting concrete in place involves a few distinct steps: Placing Formwork
Placing Reinforcement
Pouring Concrete
