Formwork as a way of quickly building

formwork Types

formwork system is used for the arrangement of horizontal and vertical structures such as slabs, beams, columns, and so on.This design is simple and allows you to mount the formwork fast, of any shape and complexity.The system can be divided into two parts: the support system and "deck."

The supporting system consists of a telescopic rack.It is used when the overlap is not more than five meters and a thickness of no more than 40 centimeters.Otherwise, the volume is used formwork."Deck" - a metal or wooden beams that form the frame.Formative part acts plywood or polymeric materials.

used several designs:

  • The cheapest way is to install a system of steel folding telescopic racks, wooden beams and plywood as a deck;
  • most versatile and technologically advanced option considered design of aluminum beams and frames;
  • system with metal components;
  • Combined systems using wood, metal and aluminum elements.

Note!For home construction to the first embodiment is most commonly used.

Constructions for walls

Initially formwork was used exclusively for the construction of foundations and floors, but to date wall formwork become a common practice in construction.This system allows you to build a solid wall.This process time is much faster than the building brick walls.With the help of built walls of residential and industrial buildings in operational terms and by high building standards.

Decking the walls is made possible through the use of strong, lightweight alloys, which are based on aluminum.These elements allow the whole structure to withstand the concrete pressure.In addition, it retained the mobility that allows a team of workers to quickly assemble and disassemble the entire system.Also, it can help to build both external and internal walls, and this affects the speed of the entire construction.

Important!Wall formwork allow not make permanent measurements, but you can be sure that the same structure will be built exactly the same.

Algorithm of work for its efforts

Formwork is being built with his own hands is quite difficult as it might initially seem.It requires skill, technology, compliance, large amounts of material and nerves of steel.The order of the formwork assembly overlaps following:

  • With step meter and a half rack mounted on tripods along the entire area of ​​the overlap of the future;
  • top of rack mounted carrier heads for maintaining the longitudinal beams;
  • The head fixed longitudinal beams, which are fastened to the walls;
  • on the crossbar stacked sheets of waterproof plywood, construction officials bottom;
  • make the installation of the vertical side panels;
  • Further, by adjusting the height of the rack, you must align the design horizontally;
  • then check all the angles and mounting slots in the system;
  • When the alignment is completed, the reinforcement is made and poured concrete.

Note!If you have doubts about the reliability of plywood as a shield for the floor, then, as an alternative, you can use metal shields.
