Comparative Analysis for High Rise Building of Tunnel Formwork System and Aluminium Formwork System

Abstract

Now a days, low waste formwork systems for construction are being used. The large sized columns in buildings are now being replaced by small thickness shear/RCC Walls. So it gives a large carpet area and removal of offsets in the building also the quality of construction is getting upgraded. Formwork is a temporary structure which supports fresh concrete till it becomes strong enough to sustain its own weight. After setting of concrete, the formwork is removed and a solid structure of required shape and size is produced. This is the very important element in the construction of building. For many years, in the field of construction, use of conventional i.e. wooden formwork was a regular practice. Now the scenario of construction field is much different, but the study is needed in order to choose the suitable Formwork with different perspectives. Cost, time is the basic parameters but along with that we should also focus on quality, safety and construction waste generation during the process
