1.3 Elements and Panel Assembly
1.3.1 ‘C’ Channel or Vertical Stiffeners
These are vertical stiffeners which work as vertical steel in

RCC wall.
These shall be made up of 0.6mm thick high galvanized sheet
having 180gm/m2/275gm/m2 zinc coating which shall be
used as per geological location to prevent rusting of steel.
Area of profile is 60.6mm2 (i.e. > 8 mm Ø bar)
These shall be placed at every 200mm along the width. (Fig.
7)
‘C’ Channel acts as equivalent to 8mm bar.

1.3.2 ReBar
These are horizontal stiffeners placed at every 200/100mm

center to center
These are 8mm Ø MS bars and used as distribution bars.
These shall be made from Fe 415 grade steel. (Fig. 8)
Fig. 8 Rebar
1.3.3 Connector
Connectors connect C profile and Rebar

These shall be made up of 1.6mm thick Cold Rolled Cold
Annealed (CRCA) plate of 120 gm/m2 zinc coated sheet to
prevent rusting
These work as shear link to connect steel on both faces of
formwork.
These also help to avoid bulging of formwork during
concrete pouring. (Fig. 9)

1.3.4 Rib Mesh
Rib meshes are filtering grids.

These shall be made up of 0.42mm thick high galvanized
sheet having 275gm/m2 zinc coating which shall be used as
per geological location to prevent rusting of steel.
These work as reinforcement to plaster to prevent crack
generated due to contraction and expansion.
These also provide good bonding to plaster. (Fig. 10)
Fig. 10 Rib Mesh
1.3.5 Constitution of the Formwork
The following factors shall be considered for construction of

buildings with this Formwork:
1.3.5.1 Geometry of the structure
The formwork is composed of elements given in Clause 1.3 above,

positioned one next to the other so as to constitute, on the two
facings a continuous unit. Standard panels are available in 90cm
and 110cm wide so as to adapt to the geometry. When the wall
length does not exactly correspond to these dimensions or to the
one of their compositions, these are cut to size on site with a rotary
cutter.
The angles shall be left open to make it possible to introduce local
reinforcements (angle posts). Afterwards, these shall be closed by
wall height angle pieces. In the same way, to build a bearing
partition wall, panels shall be juxtaposed so as to enable easy
insertion of the reinforcement bars. Vertically, the formwork is
adapted to the wall height and if necessary to the thickness of
flooring slab. (Fig. 11)
Lap length should be provided as per Clause 26.2.1 & 26.2.5.1 of
IS 456:2000. For reinforcement in flexural tension shall be greater
7
of Ld or 30 times the diameter of bar. (Ld = development length)
and for bars in direct tension shall be greater of 2Ld or 30 times the
diameter.
Fig. 11 Adopting the formwork to the wall height
1.3.5.2 Type of wall
The height of walls made with the Formwork vary according to the
requirement. The two formwork faces are the same. The
connectors make it possible to fold the panel for transportation.
1.3.5.3 Association of components for openings with the Formwork
One advantageous alternative can be the incorporation, during

installation of the panels, of more or less complete opening
components. These shall be compatible with the formwork, in
particular, as follows:
continue and extend their structural arrangements
(assumption of thrust from concrete)
remain homogeneous with the characteristics of installation
of the Formwork
be compatible with the dimensional tolerances and
assumption of the concreting clearances of the Formwork
tolerate the installation restrictions of the Formwork related,
in particular to the draining capacity of the formwork faces.
The incorporation of the openings make it possible to better fix the
joinery to the structure (the joinery is fixed with the aid of
reinforced lugs or braces, with lengths such that the anchoring in
the concrete extend beyond the vertical stiffening sections of the
contiguous panel rim).

1.4 Design Considerations
1.4.1 Design Philosophy
1.4.1.1 Strategy
The design strategy is to utilize concrete and formwork steel to the

ultimate and to provide standard solutions for minimum
reinforcement to be used, wherever required, depending on the
application and will be determined by structural calculations
performed according to the IS 456:2000. In seismic prone areas
requiring seismic resistant construction, relevant provisions of IS
875 (Part 1, 2, 4 & 5):1987, IS 875 (Part 3):2015, IS 1893 (Part
1):2016, IS 4326:2013 and IS 13920:2016 shall apply.
1.4.1.2 Basic principles of designing plain concrete:
Design analysis of the Structural formwork walls, panels, floor

slabs etc. shall be done using Staad Pro Software or equivalent.
i. The Optimal result is obtained when walls shall be designed as

braced construction elements whose horizontal loads are supported
by other bracing elements belonging to the same construction e.g.
shear walls.
ii. The panels with concrete shall act as “lightly reinforced RCC
walls” as per clause 32 of IS 456:2000 and as “prefabricated
concrete load bearing walls” as per IS 15916:2010 & IS 15917:
2010 & amp; IS 15971:2010.
The Structural Form work vertical reinforcement shall act as 8mm

dia. and horizontal mild steel bar of 8mm dia. shall act as
distribution steel, shall be taken for design as per National Building
Code of India.
Walls subjected to bending or axial load and for the rest subjected
to wind load parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the wall shall
be designed considering formwork in built steel but without
additional steel reinforcement, provided following condition is met:
md + mt < mu
where
9
md = the design value for the limit state of collapse, of the max.
bending moment per unit length, due to the loads liable to act on
the structure. ( Live load, Dead load of wall, support reaction and
moment from slab)
mt = the design value for the limit state of collapse, of the

accidental restraint moment. (Moment developed at the junction of wall
and slab generated due to lateral force)
mu = the ultimate bending moment per unit length occurring with
the design value of the axial load applied to the center of gravity of
the cross section. ( Moment capacity of the wall made with structural
stay in place system) (Fig. 12)
Fig. 12
where:
md = ma+Va x (emin)
mt = mh (moment due to lateral load)
mu – Ultimate bending capacity of the wall
ma –Support moment for slab
Va- vertical axial load.
Ra – Slab reaction part of vertical axial load calculation Va.
mh – moment due to lateral load.
emin – Minimum eccentricity.
iii. Wall- to –floor/slab tie reinforcement: When mt,i is too high to

meet the above condition and it may be proved that position
equilibrium is possible for the limit state of serviceability,
reinforcement shall not be required if accepted as per IS 456:2000.
This equilibrium exists if the rotational capacity of the wall near to
the wall-floor connection shall be sufficient to follow the rotation
of the floor slab. If this equilibrium doesn’t exist, wall to floor tie
reinforcement shall be required. (Figs. 13, 14, 15 & 16).

Fig. 15 Roof Slab & outer wall connection
Fig. 16 Roof Slab & Inner wall connection

iv. Wall-to-wall tie reinforcement: In bearing walls of houses and
buildings where no special loads are to be considered. There shall
be continuous horizontal tie-reinforcement on every floor level. If
not otherwise specified by IS 456:2000, the tie-reinforcement shall
be omitted when the difference between the upper floor level and
the terrace doesn’t exceed 6.5meter. (Figs. 17, 18)
Fig. 17 Wall “T” junction Fig. 18 Wall “L” junction
v. Edge reinforcement in walls: vertical reinforcement shall be

provided at the edges of bearing walls for houses and buildings
where no special loads are to be considered. Reinforcement shall be
provided around all doors & window openings. If not otherwise
specified by IS 456:2000, edge reinforcement in walls shall be
omitted when the difference between the upper floor level and the
terrace doesn’t exceed 12.5meter. (Fig. 19)
Fig. 19 Wall Edge junction
12
vi. Splitting reinforcement at beams: Splitting reinforcement shall
be required when the design value of bearing stress due to the
concentrated load exceeds the design value of the concrete
strength.
Splitting reinforcement is the steel which binds two layers of
reinforcement mesh on the either face of the wall, which has been
provided in the system as connectors at 400mm c/c in both the
directions.
1.4.2 Structural design and analysis of the formwork shall be based on

relevant Indian and International standards. The panel construction
assembly shall be used for free standing walls when designed and
anchored as cantilever walls. Panels shall be reinforced and tied at
vertical joints to maintain alignment. Additional reinforcement and
cement plaster shall be provided as required by the design.
1.4.3 The technology is intended for use where Architectural drawings

are available. The Architect and Engineer designer team of the
concerned developer/owner (client) is responsible for the drawings
and overall building design to comply with the various regulatory
requirements applicable to the area.
1.4.4 The design assumptions, detailed calculations, references to

necessary and detailed design drawings shall be made available on
demand from the PAC holder, if required by the Client. The
structural design calculations should clearly demonstrate structural
integrity and stability including connection details.
1.4.5 Foundation shall be specifically designed in accordance with

provisions given in IS 1904:2005. All foundations should be
designed by structural engineer with appropriate reference.
1.4.6 In addition, any other requirement regarding safety against

earthquake need to be ensured by the designer as per prevailing
codal requirements.
Proof checking of Design of G+2 building of BMTPC being

constructed at Bihar using Wall Panels carried out by IIT Bombay
is available with the PAC Holder and can be seen, on demand.
