Formwork is a temporary mold into which concrete is poured and shaped. It must be strong enough to support the weight of wet concrete and construction loads. Common materials for formwork include timber, steel, plastic, and aluminum. Proper construction and removal of formwork is important for quality, safety, and economy of concrete structures. Failure to properly brace, support, or remove formwork can lead to collapse during construction.
Shoring is the construction of a temporary structure to support an unsafe or unstable structure. There are three main types of shoring: raking shores, flying shores, and dead shores. Raking shores use inclined members called rakers to provide lateral support to walls. Flying shores provide temporary support between party walls when an intermediate building is demolished. Dead shores provide vertical support to walls and structures when the lower part of a wall is removed, such as to add an opening.
It is used as a mould for a structure in which fresh concrete is poured only to harden subsequently.

Epoxy crack injection for concrete (the basics)jbors
Epoxy injection offers a permanent repair for cracks (and delaminations) in concrete. The repair is structural, permanent and water-tight with the same lifespan as the surrounding concrete. It can be performed at temperatures as low 35°F, on cracks as narrow as 5 mils (5/1000”) and even underwater.
The cured epoxy restores the monolithic integrity of the concrete, protects the internal reinforcing steel from corrosion and is unaffected by water, chemicals and sunlight. University studies confirm that the repaired concrete matches the original strength of the uncracked concrete. A useful performance specification for the epoxy adhesive is ASTM C881, Type IV for load bearing (structural) applications. The cured high modulus epoxy generally exhibits more than 3 times the compressive strength and over 10 times the tensile strength of the surrounding concrete.
Typical structures repaired using epoxy injection include: parking decks, stadiums, concrete framed buildings, residential foundations, swimming pools, airport runways and taxiways, concrete bridge decks, floor cracking and delaminations in warehouses and manufacturing facilities, concrete pipe and tanks, concrete beams and piers and port facilities including docks, piers and pilings. Facilities where crack injection is often employed include water/sewage treatment plants, industrial sites, machinery foundations, and refrigerated and frozen food storage warehouses.
Specially trained contractors should be considered to properly perform crack repair using proper surface preparation procedures and positive displacement metering pumps to properly proportion and deliver the two component epoxy.
Benefits of Epoxy Injection
• Fast cure strength — up to 5,000 psi compressive yield in less than 5 hours,
• Vibration tolerant during cure — repairs can be made while structure is open,
• Unique concrete crack injection solutions for underwater, corrosive, large void (low exotherm) and other extreme exposures,
• O VOC concrete crack repair adhesives and seals,
• Can be used in temperatures as low as 35°F,
• Restores cracked concrete and structural members including beams and columns to original monolithic strength,
• Stops water leakage through foundations,
• Prevents corrosion of embedded reinforcing steel,
• Useful in secondary containment areas to prevent leaks and
• Unlike urethane chemical grouts, the epoxy crack repair is structural and permanent.
The document outlines the key stages in the production of concrete: batching, mixing, transporting, placing, compacting, curing, and finishing. It describes the various methods used at each stage, including volume and weight batching, hand mixing and stationary mixers, transport using trucks and conveyors, placement using different techniques, compaction through hand tools and vibration, curing methods like immersion and membrane curing, and finishing concrete surfaces.
Pile foundations extend deep below buildings to support heavy loads on poor soil conditions. There are different types of piles including wood, steel, and concrete piles that are installed using various methods such as driving, drilling, or jacking. Piles can be classified based on their material, load transfer method, degree of soil displacement during installation, and installation method. Common types include end bearing piles that transfer load to firm soil at depth and friction piles that transfer load along their shaft through skin friction with surrounding soil.

Various crack repair techniques are outlined, including epoxy injection to fill hairline cracks, routing and sealing, stitching with metal anchors, grouting, and applying an overlay. The conclusion states it is impossible to completely prevent cracks but their development can be minimized by considering construction materials and techniques.
Raft foundations are used when buildings have heavy loads, compressible soil, or require minimal differential settlement. A raft foundation is a continuous concrete slab that supports all building columns. It can be designed using either a rigid or flexible approach. The rigid approach assumes the raft bridges soil variations, while the flexible approach models soil-structure interaction. Key considerations for raft design include bearing capacity, settlement, stress distribution, and structural component sizing.
The document provides information on the basics of civil engineering foundations. It discusses the objectives and types of foundations, including shallow foundations like isolated and combined footings, and deep foundations such as pile and pier foundations. Pile foundations can be friction piles or load bearing piles. Factors that determine the size and bearing capacity of foundations are also covered. The document contains diagrams to illustrate foundation components and construction methods.
Post-tensioning is an effective alternative for earthquake-prone regions and dense populations in India. It has advantages over ordinary reinforced concrete like higher seismic resilience, less concrete usage, stiffer foundations, and faster construction. Post-tensioning involves threading steel tendons through ducts and tensioning them after concrete pouring. It provides better crack control, economy, quality, and efficiency. While widely used in other countries, post-tensioning is not yet common in India but has applications in slabs, buildings, and foundations.
The document discusses various types of footings used in building foundations. It defines a footing as the lower part of a foundation constructed below ground level on solid ground. The main purposes of footings are to transfer structural loads to the soil over a large area to prevent soil and building movement, and to resist settlement and lateral loads. Common footing types include isolated, strap, strip/continuous, and combined footings. Key data needed for footing design includes soil bearing capacity, structural loads, and column dimensions. The document outlines general design procedures and considerations for spread, combined, strap, and brick footings.
This document discusses several special concreting techniques:
- Pumped concrete is concrete that can be pushed through a pipeline and must have a design that prevents blockages.
- Shortcrete or gunite is a mortar or fine concrete pneumatically projected at high velocity, used for thin sections with less formwork.
- Underwater concrete requires special mixes placed via bagging, buckets, tremie pipes, or grouted aggregates to prevent water intrusion.
- Other techniques include pre-packed concrete placed underwater and special considerations for hot/cold weather concreting. Proper mix design and placement methods are essential for successful implementation of special concreting applications.

Prof. Karan S. Chauhan discusses different types of shallow foundations that can be used for building construction, including spread footings, combined footings, strap footings, and raft/mat foundations. Some key considerations for foundations are distributing structural loads across a large area, providing stability, and minimizing settlement. In expansive black cotton soil, deeper foundations of 1.5 meters or removal and replacement of the soil are recommended to prevent cracking from swelling and shrinkage. Specific foundation options for black cotton soil include strip footings, pier foundations, and under-reamed pile foundations.
This document discusses the process of manufacturing bricks. It begins by describing the composition of bricks, noting that good bricks should contain 20-30% alumina, 50-60% silica, and small amounts of lime, iron oxide, and magnesia. The document then outlines the key steps in brick manufacturing: preparation of clay, moulding, drying, and burning. For moulding, it describes hand and machine methods, and for burning it explains the three stages of dehydration, oxidation, and vitrification. The document provides details on each stage of the manufacturing process.
Tension members can fail due to three modes:
1. Gross section yielding, where the entire cross-section yields
2. Net section yielding, where the reduced cross-section after subtracting holes yields
3. Block shear failure, which also occurs in welded connections along planes of shear and tension
The design strength is the minimum of the strengths from these three failure modes. Block shear is demonstrated using a failed gusset plate connection with failure planes around the weld. The problem determines the tensile strength of a plate connected to a gusset plate, calculating the strength based on gross section yielding, net section yielding, and block shear failure.
Vacuum concrete is the type of concrete in which the excess water is removed for improving concrete strength.
The water is removed by use of vacuum mats connected to a vacuum pump.
The main aim of this technique is to extract extra water from concrete surface using vacuum dewatering.

Steel Structures - Building technology.pptxNikhil Raut
Steel structures are commonly used for high-rise buildings, long-span structures, industrial and warehouse buildings, and temporary structures due to steel's strength, light weight, speed of construction, and ability to create large spaces. Steel structures have advantages such as strength, flexibility, ductility, stability, earthquake resistance, and lighter weight compared to other materials. However, steel loses strength at high temperatures and is susceptible to corrosion. Common steel sections include angles, channels, I-beams, T-beams, round/square bars, and plates. Steel connections are made through bolting, riveting, and welding. Portal frames provide wide spans and are lightweight but require large members and cranes for erection.
This document discusses the key elements of railway tracks, including formation, ballast, sleepers, rails, and fastenings. It describes the purpose and design considerations for each element. Formation provides the base for the track and must support the entire load. Ballast distributes loads from sleepers to prevent sinking. Sleepers provide support and stiffness. Rails provide a smooth surface for train movement. Fastenings such as fish plates, bolts, and chairs connect rails and sleepers together securely.
IRJET- Comparing the Load Pattern on Box Concrete Gridder with Consideration ...IRJET Journal
This document compares the load patterns on concrete box girders using the Indian Road Congress (IRC) code and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) code. It models box girder bridges with varying spans from 10-50 meters in a structural analysis software. The analysis subjects the bridges to different vehicle load classes specified in the two codes and determines the resulting shear forces and bending moments. It finds that for 2-lane bridges, the IRC LM-1 load class produces the maximum shear force and AASHTO HL-93 produces the maximum bending moment. For 4-lane bridges, the AASHTO Class A load produces both the maximum shear force and bending moment.

This document discusses flow through pipes in series, parallel, and equivalent pipes. It defines compound or series pipes as pipes of different lengths and diameters connected together to form a pipeline. The total head loss in a series pipe system is equal to the sum of the head losses in each pipe section. It also defines parallel or looping pipes as pipes that branch out from the same point and rejoin downstream, where the discharge is split between the pipes and the head loss is the same across each pipe. The document introduces the concept of an equivalent pipe that can replace a compound or parallel pipe system, having the same total discharge and head loss. It presents Dupuit's equation for calculating the diameter of an equivalent pipe for a compound system.
This document discusses boundary layer concepts and control methods. It defines boundary layer thickness as the region near a surface where velocity increases from zero to the free stream velocity. It then defines and derives equations for various boundary layer thicknesses including nominal thickness, displacement thickness, momentum thickness, and energy thickness. It describes boundary layer separation occurring when pressure gradients cause the layer to separate from the surface. Finally, it lists several methods to control the boundary layer such as streamlining, boundary layer tripping, suction, injection, slots, and swirl generation.
This document discusses fluid flow in pipes. It begins by defining average velocity and laminar versus turbulent flow regimes based on the Reynolds number. It then covers topics such as developing flow, fully developed flow profiles, friction factors, pressure drops, pipe networks, and pump selection. The key points are that laminar flow has a parabolic velocity profile while turbulent flow is more complex, friction factors can be estimated using Moody charts or the Colebrook equation, and head losses consider both pipe friction and minor losses from fittings.

Rail transport is one of the important modes of transport in India. Now a days we
see that there are railways that are present for the long as well as short distance
travelling which makes the life of the people easier. When compared to other
means of transport, a railway is the cheapest means of transport. The maintenance
of the railway database also plays a major role in the smooth running of this
system. The Online Train Ticket Management System will help in reserving the
tickets of the railways to travel from a particular source to the destination.

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

2. Ø Introduction- Formwork supports
1.Vertical support-
• Single leg type (Shore or prop)- Are tubular and telescopic type
• Multi leg type- Frame or tripod or trestle
2.Horizontal support- Light weight trusses
Horizontal Support- Truss
6. Ø Introduction- Shore/prop and dropheads
1.Shore/prop-
• Timber shores/props are commonly used in low rise construction where floor
to floor height may be between 3-4 m.
• The l/d ratio is an important design parameter for timber shores and thus
while using timber shores, sufficient thickness of timber should be ensured
to safeguard them against buckling.
• Bracing of shores should also be ensured. A typical arrangement for timber
shores/props is given in Fig.
• The arrangement of jointing of shores/props to achieve additional heights is
also shown in fig.
• The shores/props made up of steel are very common these days.
• Modern props are made with high tensile steel and tubes.
• They are of light weight yet offer high strength.
• The props are usually used for supporting the formwork in low clearance
construction, up to heights of about 5 m.
• For height more than 5 m it need to be properly tied and braced so as to
form a rigid structure.
7. Ø Introduction- Shore/prop and dropheads
1.Shore/prop-
• Like timber shores, bracings are also important in steel shores.
• Bracings are provided by means of tubes and clamps.
• These props come in different designs and have different load carrying
capacities.
9. Ø Introduction- Shore/prop and dropheads
2.Dropheads-
• Devices which are fitted on the top of props or supports to support the slab
while the remaining form for the decking could be struck for reuse.
• It remain in contact with the underside of the slab at all times for the full
curing period, while the majority of the formwork materials, including
plywood, can be removed as early as 3-4 days after pouring of the concrete.
• This results in great economy as far as the cost of the formwork is
concerned.
• The dropheads are suited primarily for flat slabs and multi-story construction.
12. Ø Multilegged shoring towers
Commonly used multi-legged shoring systems for high clearance
construction (floor to floor heights are considerable) are the
1. frame based system,
2. tube and coupler system,
3. trestle system
1. Frame based system,-
• Those are pre-fabricated tubular frames which come in a variety of shapes
and modular sizes which can be assembled one over the other to get the
required heights.
• The frames are usually braced together by means of ledgers and cross
braces to form a rigid structure.
• In order to achieve varying heights, i.e. for adjustments in height,
accessories such as screw jacks (tower spindle) are provided either at the
top or the bottom or both.
19. Ø Classification based on Hurd and Shapira

27. Ø Classification based on Hurd and Shapira and Raj
2. Shapira and Raj (2005) Classification-
Type ‘D’:
28. Ø Trestle (crib) shoring-
• It is used to act as a shoring tower for heavy construction such
as the bridge girders, slabs and culverts.
• It is usually made up of angle sections (ISA) and is braced
appropriately.
• The angle sections are arranged in different patterns to suit the
different requirements of carrying various loads.
• Some of the arrangements of angle sections to get the box
shape are shown in Fig.
• The boxes are of varying dimensions and they use varying
number of angle sections.
• The load carrying capacity of each of the box sections varies.
• The angle sections are laced with each other to form the box
section.
• The independent trestles (box sections) are also braced with
each other as per the requirement.
32. Ø Design of vertical supports for formwork-
• Shoring tower design is concerned with finding the appropriate
distances between the joists and stringers, and distances
between towers the in two directions.
• The stability aspect of the tower needs careful consideration.
• The distances between the joists are governed by the
maximum allowable span of the sheathing elements.
• For safety reasons, the joist’s spacing is determined in such a
way that the sheathing element is supported with no cantilevers
on its two sides.
• Distances between the tower rows are similarly governed by
the maximum allowable span of the joists.
• For practical considerations, a tower placed next to a wall
should be no closer than a minimum distance from the wall
(around 200 mm, measured from the tower leg’s axis) so as to
leave room for the tower footings and to allow manipulation of
the tower’s screw jacks (tower spindle).
33. Ø Forces acting on a shore-
• The total load on the intermediate shores/props = Total load on
the formworks (w) x spacing of the primary beams x span of the
secondary beams
1. Total load on the formworks (w)-
a. Self–weight of concrete slab = thickness of slab x unit weight of
freshly placed wet concrete including reinforcement (= 26 kN/m3
as per Indian Standard)
b. Imposed load-It comprises the loads from
(i) lateral pressure of concrete (IS :14687-1999), (ii) loads from
construction personnel, plant and equipment, vibration and impact
of machine delivered concrete (IS :875 part-2-1987), (iii)
unsymmetrical placement of concrete (IS :875 part-2-1987), and
(iv) concentrated load and storage of construction materials
(IS :875 part-2-1987).
34. Ø Forces acting on a shore-
• The total load on the intermediate shores/props = Total load on
the formworks (w) x spacing of the primary beams x span of the
secondary beams
1. Total load on the formworks (w)-
c. Load of formwork-
Note- 1.The code recommends the self-weight of formwork be
determined on the basis of the actual measurement in accordance
with IS: 875 (Part 1)–1987.
2. In the absence of actual measurement, it may be assumed as
500 N/m2 for the purpose of initial calculations.
Therefore,
Total load on formwork = sum of a + b + c
35. Ø Forces acting on a shore-
• The total load on the intermediate shores/props = Total load on
the formworks (w) x spacing of the primary beams x span of the
secondary beams
2. spacing of the primary beams-
3. span of the secondary beam-
Note-
Assume the required prop height, depnding on height the
permissible load carrying capacity of the props from the
manufacturer’s data and then provide prop centre to centre.
36. Ø Introduction to Scaffolds-
• It is a temporary structure for gaining access to the higher
levels of the permanent structure during construction.
• Scaffolds are often used because they are convenient, versatile,
and economical.
• They are needed in all the stages of construction.
• It is one of the essential formwork parts to provide temporary
platforms at various levels for carrying out all those works which
cannot be conveniently and easily carried out either from the
ground level or any other floor of the building or by the use of a
ladder.
• Besides providing access, the scaffoldings are also used for
(i) centering for the formwork, and (ii) for supporting heavy loads
at great heights.
37. Ø Parts of Scaffolds-
• It consists of standards, putlogs, ledgers which are generally
made up of bamboo, timber or metal to provide a working
platforms for workmen and materials in the course of
construction, maintenance, repairs and demolition, and also to
support or allow hoisting and lowering of workmen, their tools
and materials.
Standard or Upright: A vertical member used in the construction of
scaffold for transmitting the load to the foundation.
Ledger: A horizontal member which ties the standard at right
angles and which may support putlogs and transoms.
Putlog / Bearer: A scaffolding member spanning from ledger to
ledger or from ledger/ standard to a building and upon which the
platform rests.
Transom: A member spanning across ledgers/ standards to tie a
scaffold transversely and which may also support a working
platform.
38. Ø Parts of Scaffolds-
Brace: A member fixed diagonally across two or more members in
a scaffolding to afford stability.
Bracing: Bracing is a system of braces or ties that prevent
distortion of a scaffold.
Guard Rail: A horizontal rail secured to uprights and erected along
the exposed edges of scaffolds to prevent workmen from falling.
Toe-Board: A barrier placed along the edge of the scaffold platform
and secured there to guard against the falling of material and
equipment.
Base Plate: Base plate is used so that the standard/ poles do not
get inserted into the ground due to the heavy load on the top of
the scaffold boards due to the masons. These base plates are
generally made up of hard metal.
44. Ø Classification of Scaffolds- Timber Scaffold
1. Single pole scaffold-
The single row of the upright poles is fixed close to the building or
wall and connected horizontally by ledgers along with the length
connected to the buildings or walls by means of cross timbers
known as ‘Putlogs’.
45. Ø Classification of Scaffolds- Timber Scaffold
2. Double pole scaffold (Independant scaffolds)-
• There are two rows of uprights kept about 1 to 1.5 m apart
across the building and at suitable intervals along the length.
• The two rows of uprights are connected by cross timbers viz.
putlogs or transoms and longitudinally by ledgers.
• Suitable diagonal bracings are also provided for the same. In
case of bamboo or bally scaffolds built with sawn ropes or coir
of hemp, and in case of scaffolds built with sawn timber
sections, the joints are usually made with bolted/ nailed
connections.
46. Ø Classification of Scaffolds- Timber Scaffold
2. Double pole scaffold (Independant scaffolds)-
48. Ø Classification of Scaffolds- Single pole or putlog
• Is physically tied into the brickwork using putlogs or tubes with
putlog adapters
• A slot is left between bricks to accommodate them and once in
place the wall itself becomes the inside support.
• The outside support is formed by a series of standards (upright
tubes) and ledgers (horizontal tubes) which are connected
using double couplers, the putlogs then sit directly onto the
ledgers and are secured using single (putlog) couplers.
• Once all the putlogs are in place boards are laid across them to
form the working platform and a further two rows of tube are
fitted horizontally to form a guardrail (safety barrier).
49. Ø Classification of Scaffolds- Single pole or putlog
Individual component type-
• It consist of single row of uprights connected together by
ledgers.
• Putlogs are fixed to the ledgers and built into the wall of the
building as the construction progresses.
• The scaffold system essentially consists of a base plate, ledger,
uprights, double coupler for coupling the ledger to the uprights,
putlog, putlog coupler, horizontal tie member, longitudinal
diagonal brace, toe board, and guard rail.
• Unit Frame Type- The system consists of base plate, unit
vertical, unit Putlog cross bar, unit type longitudinal diagonal
brace, horizontal tie coupled with double couplers, scaffold
boards, toe board, and guard rail.
52. Ø Classification of Scaffolds- Double pole or
Independant
• It consists of two rows of uprights connected together
longitudinally by ledgers and transversely by putlogs or
transoms.
• The system consists of base plate, ledger, uprights, double
coupler for coupling the ledger to the uprights, transom, putlog,
putlog couplers to couple the transom to the putlog, longitudinal
diagonal and cross braces, swivel coupler, toe board, and guard
rail.
54. Ø Classification of Scaffolds-Outrigger (Cantilever)
scaffolding
• This is usually an independent type of scaffolding which does
not rest on the ground but is cantilevered from the face of the
buildings or structures.
56. Ø Classification of Scaffolds-Platform scaffolds
• This consists of two or more rows of uprights connected
together by ledgers and transoms and usually a working
platform is placed on top of the scaffold.
• This type is used normally for supporting heavy loads at the top
level and for providing an access platform at one level.
57. Ø Classification of Scaffolds-Tower scaffolds
• This consists of uprights connected together by ledgers and
transoms. This may be made mobile by mounting it on the
castors.
58. Ø Classification of Scaffolds-Suspended scaffolds
(cradles)
• This is an independent scaffold which is hung from a building or
structure and not supported on the ground.
60. Ø Safety provisions in building the scaffolds-
(i) Every scaffold should be braced by means of longitudinal and transverse bracing
systems so as to form a rigid and stable structure. Also every scaffold should be
effectively tied to a building to prevent the movement of the scaffold either away or
towards the building.
(ii) Where heavy winds or gale forces are expected, it is necessary to take special
precautions and install additional ties to the scaffold to prevent overturning and collapse.
(iii) Guide rails and toe boards must be provided for all the working platforms to ensure
the safety of the workmen.
(iv) All working platforms should be fully covered to prevent materials falling and causing
injury to the workers or passersby.
(v) Safety nets or other screens should be provided to catch any falling materials.
(vi) The use of barrels, boxes, loose earth pads or other unsuitable objects as supports
for uprights and working platform, should not be permitted.
(vii) Care should be taken to see that no uninsulated wire exists within 3 m of the
working platforms, gang ways, runs, etc. of the scaffolds.
(viii) Scaffolds on thoroughfares should be provided with warning light, if general light is
not sufficient, to make it clearly visible.
(ix) Men should not be allowed on scaffolds during storms or high winds.
(x) Grease, mud, paint, gravel or plaster or any such material should be removed from
the scaffold platforms immediately.
(xi) Either sand or saw dust or any other suitable material should be spread on the
platforms to prevent slipping.
61. Ø Safety provisions in building the scaffolds-
(xii) All projecting nails from the platforms or other members should be removed.
(xiii) During dismantling of scaffolding, necessary precautions should be taken to prevent
injury to the persons due to the falling of loose materials. The bracing and other
members of the scaffolds should not be removed prematurely while dismantling the
entire scaffold so as to avoid the danger of collapse.
(xiv) When scaffolds are to be used to a great extent and for a long period of time, they
should be inspected from time to time to ensure their soundness.
(xv) Boards and planks used for platforms, gangways should be of sound quality and
proper thickness, closely laid and securely fastened and placed.
62. Ø Design issues in building the scaffolds-
1. Scaffold support systems should use jack bases, even on a concrete foundation. This
will allow for:
i) first, an increase in system stiffness at the base;
ii) secondly, adjustments to different heights off the ground (such as when stairs are
being built); and
iii) finally, adjustment of height due to improper or uneven installation of steel scaffolds.
If a system of steel scaffold is twisted because of improper installation, some of
the scaffolds may not be in contact with the ground, which may lead to instability
problems.
2. The wooden planks beneath the wooden shores should be fastened directly to the
dried reinforced concrete columns and walls.
3. Nails should be used at both the top and the bottom of the wooden shores in the
scaffold support system.
4. The bamboo and the steel scaffolds should be fastened together with wires in order to
prevent buckling of the bamboo. In addition, it is recommended that the bamboo braces
on the out of-plane surface of the steel scaffolds be replaced with steel braces since
bamboo’s capacity to resist the bending moment may be inadequate for this application.
63. Ø Design issues in building the scaffolds-
5. If possible, the wooden shores should be replaced with tubular steel adjustable
shores. The end of these tubular steel adjustable shores can be connected the same
way as the joints between steel scaffolds (i.e., in place of nail joints). This can greatly
increase the critical load of the scaffold support system. If this is not possible, tubular
steel adjustable shores should at least be used temporarily in the interior of the scaffold
support system where the largest force is exerted.
6. Whenever possible, simple steel scaffolds with one joint should be used. In addition,
the connection pins at the joints should be lengthened in order to increase the stiffness
of the joints.
64. Ø Causes of the collapse of scaffolds-
1. Construction loads may exceed the critical load of the scaffold support
system-
• According to Peng et al. (1996), the failure of a scaffold support system in high-
clearance structures is usually a problem of structural stability.
• The collapse of the scaffold support system is often the result of the actual
construction load exceeding the critical load of the system.
Note- At present, there are no guidelines which can be used to predict the critical load
(i.e., the buckling load) of the entire scaffold support system.
2. Horizontal instability of the wooden shores-
• As shown in Fig., it is difficult to accommodate the inner clearance of high-clearance
structures by using a stacked arrangement of steel scaffolds alone and thus there is a
need to use wooden shores at the top in combination with steel scaffolds.
• The wooden shores are used primarily for filling the gap between the formwork and
steel scaffolds.
• Peng et al. (1996) reported that it is almost impossible for wooden shores to buckle
under general construction loads. However, the connections at their ends are unable
to carry moment and the bottom of the wooden shores may move horizontally
together with the wooden planks on the top of the steel scaffolds after construction
loads are applied on the formwork.
66. Ø Causes of the collapse of scaffolds-
3. Partial loading of the fresh concrete may reduce the critical load for the
scaffold support system-
• The concrete pour duration for high-clearance structures is usually one day except in
the case of a very large slab pouring area.
• Peng et al. (1996) that, the concrete load over the complete slab area may be
considered to be a sequence of different partial load cases.
4. A specific (possibly asymmetric) placement pattern of fresh concrete may
decrease the critical load of the system-
• The fresh concrete is usually placed according to some specific pattern. However, a
uniform load is usually assumed in structural analysis.
• According to Peng et al. (1996), the placement pattern may cause the critical load of
the temporary support system to be smaller than that under the uniform load
assumed in the design.
• Thus, the design strength of the temporary support may be inadequate for the actual
external load.
67. Ø Causes of failure of formwork-
1. Improper Stripping and Shore Removal-
• Premature stripping of forms, premature removal of shores, and careless practices in
reshoring can produce catastrophic results.
2. Inadequate Lateral Bracing—Wind, Construction Loads-
• The more frequent causes of formwork failure, are other effects that induce lateral
force components or induce displacement of the supporting members.
• Inadequate cross bracing and horizontal bracing of shores is one of the factors most
frequently involved in formwork accidents.
• Note- Investigations prove that many accidents causing damage worth thousands of
rupees could have been prevented only if a few hundred rupees had been spent on
diagonal bracing for formwork support.
• High shoring with heavy load at the top is vulnerable to eccentric or lateral loading.
• Diagonal bracing improves the stability of such a structure, as do guys or struts to
solid ground or completed structures.
3. Vibration Due to Concrete Placing Equipment
• Forms sometimes collapse when their supporting shores or jacks are displaced by
the vibration caused by passing traffic, the movement of the workers and the
equipment on the formwork, and the effect of vibrating concrete to consolidate it.
• Diagonal bracing can help prevent failure due to vibration.
68. Ø Causes of failure of formwork-
4. Unstable Soils under Mudsills, Shoring not Plumb-
• Unstable soils under the mudsills can also cause the formwork to fail. The mudsills
act as a base for a shore or post in formwork.
• The mudsills could be a timber plank, a frame, a small footing or pedestals.
• Formwork should be safe if it is adequately braced and constructed; so all loads are
carried to the solid ground through vertical members.
• Shores must be set plumb and the ground must be able to carry the load without
settling.
• Shores and mudsills must not rest on the frozen ground; moisture and heat from the
concreting operations, or changing air temperatures, may thaw the soil and allow
settlement that overloads or shifts the formwork.
• Site drainage must be adequate to prevent a washout of soil supporting the mudsills.
