    remain in position till the poured concrete gain sufficient strength and can
    withstand the stresses coming on it without the help of the form work.

    Loads on the form work


     Dead weight of green concrete
     Hydrostatic pressure of green concrete
     Live loads due to working labourers
     Impact effect at the time of pouring concrete in to the form work
     Vibration transmitted to form work during pouring concrete

    Requirements of a good form work


     Materials should be cheaply and abundantly available in local market
     Should be sufficiently rigid
     Should be easy to erect and remove
     Supports on which form work rests should be strong
     Surface of the from work should be smooth
     Joints of form work should be stiff and strong

    Material for form work


    I. Steel
    II. Timber
    Steel Form work
     High initial cost
     It can be repeatedly used for higher no if time.
     It is stronger
     It is not liable to swell, shrink, or warp
     It should be handled carefully

    of the column, sheathing is generally nailed to yokes
    Side yokes and end yokes – The side yokes and end yokes consist of two
    number and are suitably spaced along the length of the form work, side yokes
    are interconnected together through two long bolts.
    Wedges – wedges are used to tighten various elements of the form work.

    Checking column form work


    1. Vertical alignments
    2. Size of the column
    3. Angle between faces
    4. Proper supporting
    5. Any possible leakage
    6. Smoothness of the inner surface of the form work
