Shuttering Design and Cost Comparisons
Shuttering Design and Cost Comparisons
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
I. INTRODUCTION
In cities like Mumbai which have a considerable amount
of humid atmosphere, there are chances that the shuttering
may keep expanding and contracting due to change of
atmosphere and the shuttering plywood may bend
subjecting to bulging of sides of Column, Retaining Wall,
Footing, Beams, Chajjas, etc. It may cause bending of
beams and slabs which is unsafe from both structural
point of view and also from architectural point of view if
the plywood used for shuttering is not accounted for its
properties for moisture content during extreme humid
conditions and in monsoon season. If care is not taken in
design then it may create blunder. Even the stacking of
shuttering materials has an adverse effect on design of
shuttering as the designer design the ply for its maximum
available repetitions, but due to improper use of the
shuttering materials the design may fail after repetitive
improper use of the shuttering materials which also affects
the cost factor of project.
Shuttering counts for 50% of the total project cost. So for
the same purpose Cost Analysis of various systems of
shuttering in various construction practices and
depending on the type of project in hand, Cost Analysis
III. UNITS
Use of MKS Units is done for designing of entire
formwork design
V. DESIGNING COMPONENTS

10N.
3. Dead Load of Concrete on Shuttering (w1) = Length
(m)*Breadth (m)* Height (m)* Density of Concrete (2500
kN/m3).

VII. CONCLUSION
At the end it can be concluded that though there is not
much of literature available on Shuttering Design and
Cost Analysis, it is available in an indirect way. It requires
a search on top of various engineering basics to design
shuttering. Cost analysis of shuttering also cannot be done
without vigorous observation from place to place and
from site to site to arrive at a conclusion.
At the end I would sincerely like to thank Professor
Atulya Kumar Singh & Mr. Rinkle Anajwala for being
with us through thick and thin for our project and also for
being the support system needed for succesful
accomplishment of this serious aspect formwork design
and cost comparison.
