M1.3Form Work
• Emporis standards-
• “A multi- story structure between 35-100 m tall or a building of unknown height from
12 – 39 floors is termed as high rise”
• As height increase, the rigidity and stability requirements become more Rigid structure to increase stability
important, and they are often the dominant factors in the design. So,
• - The size of the members may be increased above and beyond the strength
requirements
• - Change the form of the structure into something more rigid and stable to
confine the deformation and increase stability
• -P - ∆ effect, In which the eccentricity of the gravity load increases to such a
magnitude that it brings about the collapse of the columns as a result of axial
loads
• - Therefore, an important stability criterion is to assure that predicted wind
loads should be below the load corresponding to the stability limit
• - The second consideration is to limit the lateral deflection to a level that will Variation of wind velocity with height
ensure that architectural finishes and partitions are not damaged
FORMWORK IN HIGH RISE BUILDING
• In a tall building construction with reinforced concrete structures , the selection of a appropriate
Advantages
• Easy to fix and easy to dismantle.
• It can be handled easily because of its light
weight.
• It can be re-used for many times.
• The walls and slabs of structures can be
casted simultaneously.
• Monolithic crack free structures can be built
using aluminum formwork
Disadvantages
• When the load reaches its maximum limit,
the lighter sections may deflect.
• Architectural modifications are not possible
when aluminum formwork is used
Plastics as Formwork Material
• Plastic is another type of formwork material
Advantages
• It weighs very less when compared to any other
formwork material.
• It is economical.
• Any complex shape can be constructed using fabric
formwork.
• It is waterproof.
• Doesn’t affect the concrete properties.
• Easy to removal after the hardening of concrete.
Disadvantages
• For installation skilled workers are required to form
perfect and required complex shapes.

FORMWORK SELECTION PARAMETERS
Construction of high-rise buildings requires innovative formwork system technologies to overcome the limitations of space,
budget, and time. However, many parameters affect the choice of formwork systems and are mainly divided into internal
and external parameters as shown below.

Jump Formwork
• 3. CLIMB FORM CONSTRUCTION
• It is a special type formwork for vertical concrete structures that
rises with the building process.
• It is economical, rapid and accurate method of constructing
reinforced concrete or post tensioned concrete structures
• At its most basic level, climb forming is a type of movable
formwork which is slowly raised, allowing continuous extrusion of
concrete
• Effective solution for buildings that are either very repetitive in
form (such as towers or skyscrapers) or that require a seamless
wall structure

• 6. TUNNEL FORMWORK
• Tunnel formwork is used to form repetitive cellular structures and is widely
recognized as a modern innovation that enables that construction of horizontal
and vertical elements together
TUNNEL FORMWORK
• Significant productivity benefits have been achieved by using tunnel form to
construct cellular buildings such as hotels, low and high rise housing, hostels,
student accommodation, prison and barracks accommodation
ISSUES
• 1. FUNDS - Cost is a major factor.
• 2. LOCAL RULES AND REGULATIONS - Planning permission, often there will be certain rules to comply to when using a certain amour of space
• 3. PLANNING
• One of the biggest problems in construction of a skyscraper is planning. To construct a small house you need a progress schedule. To build a
skyscraper you need a critical path schedule. Usually a tall building is built in a high density area and street traffic has to be taken into
consideration for delivery of materials and erection of scaffolding and cranes.
• 4 .LIGHTING - Shadows can cast over other buildings and mess with light levels.
• 5. MATERIAL USED - Materials being Able to take certain strains
• 6. DESIGN FOR LATERAL FORCES
• With really high buildings the wind and temperature becomes a major factor, and the building needs to accommodate for the sway and
stretch of the skyscraper.
• 7. AXIAL SHORTENING OF VERTICAL MEMBERS
• In a tall building, you'll have the issues of axial shortening (from elastic deformation and creep) which could introduce additional P-Delta
effects to design against and affect the centre of gravity of the building. To address this, you'd have to have a look at the construction program
and ensure that the shortening effects in columns/walls are relatively equal across the board.
• 8. Load bearing capacity of the soil.
• 9. Social, cultural, political, and historic issues.
• 10. Availability of labor and resources.
• 11. Risk of earthquakes and extreme weather.
CONCLUSION
• The spurt in high-rise projects around the country has been instrumental in giving the much needed fillip to climbing
formwork systems.
• With a perceptible shift in buyer behaviour, contractors today have today become aware that the significant cost and
time saving accrued due to the use of formwork systems; can help offset the perceived high initial capital, in a rather
quick period of time.
• Rental companies too have taken a clue from the market trends and are today incorporating formwork as part of their
product portfolio in increasing numbers.
• With newer high-rise projects being launched, almost every alternate day, the market for formwork systems, is
expected to quite literally, touch dizzy heights in the next few years.

MIVAN TECHNOLOGY
• MIVAN TECHNOLOGY
• It is a precision-engineered formwork fabricated in Aluminium and how the uses
of mivan, can save time and money for a multi-crore project.
• INTRODUCTION
• In 1990, the Mivan Company Ltd. from Malaysia started manufacturing these
formwork systems.
• Mivan technology is mostly suitable for constructing large number of houses in a
short span of time using room size forms to construct walls and slabs in one
continuous pour on concrete. Mivan Shuttering
• Aluminum formwork is very cost effective for repetitive Building layouts and for

Concrete construction has gone through significant changes since the early 1990s and continues to develop innovation in
formwork.
Some of the pioneering companies in modern form working system are peri, doca system, outinord, meva, acrow.
We thus infer that mivan formwork construction is able to provide high quality construction at unbelievable speed at
reasonable cost.
This mivan technology has great potential for application in India to provide affordable housing to its rising population.
Technical Specifications of MIVAN Formwork:
Description Specifications
•Large room sized forms for walls and floor slabs are erected at site.
•These strong and sturdy forms are fabricated with accuracy and are easy to handle.
•The concrete is produced in RMC batching plants under strict quality control and
convey it to site with transit mixers.
•The frames for windows, doors and ducts
for services are placed in the form before
2. Pouring concrete –
After casting the forms, high-quality concrete is poured. This concrete takes the form
and shape of the cast, which is later removed to make way for a structure made
entirely of cement concrete supported by wall reinforcing steel. The aluminium forms
can be reused at least 250 times, resulting in minimum waste from the construction
site.

Disadvantages;
Wall Formworks
•The girder wall formwork consists of timber and/or steel girders connected to each
other that form the support surface for the formlining.
•The optimization of individual elements and the development of a wide range of
accessories for connections and attachments still makes girder wall formwork cost-
effective in spite of the relatively high number of components
