    Uploaded by

    Edrian Dups Dupra
    The document discusses formworks used for pouring concrete and provides formulas to calculate the materials needed. It then provides an example of estimating the costs for formworks for a concrete wall that is 9'6" x 25'4". The summary calculates that 24 sheets of plywood, 704 board feet of lumber, 7 pounds of nails, and 51 ties would be needed to build the forms for this wall.

    Formworks

    the term given to either temporary or


    permanent molds into which concrete or similar
    materials are poured.
    Formworks
    Formula in Finding the Materials for Square and
    Rectangular Column Forms

    P = 2 ( a + b) + 0.20

    P = lateral perimeter of the column


    a = shorter side of the column
    b = the longer side of the column
    0.20 = constant value for the lapping of joints
    Sample Formworks
    Computation for Column
    b. Multiply the height and
    number of columns to get
    the lateral surface area.
    Area = P x H x No. Columns
    A = 2.20m x 5.0m x 10
    A = 110 sq. meters
    c. Divide areas by 2.88 to
    a. Solve for the Lateral get number of plywood
    perimeter:
    P = 2 ( a + b ) + 0.20
    P = 2 ( 0.40 + 0.60 ) + 0.20
    P = 2.20 m
    Sample Formworks
    Computation for Column (cont)
    c. Divide areas by 2.88 to
    get number of plywood

    d. Solving the 2” x 2’ wood frame,


    multiply 29.67 board foot

    39 Plywood x 29.67 = 1,157 board foot


    Formworks
    Formula in Finding the Materials for Beams and
    Girder Forms

    P = 2 ( a + b) + 0.10

    P = lateral perimeter of the column


    a = shorter side of the column
    b = the longer side of the column
    0.10 = constant value for the lapping of joints
    Scaffoldings

    The wall is 9’-6” high and 25’-4” long.
    • From design table:
    Max. pressure, 664 lb/ft2
    Max. spacing of studs, 19 in, use 18 in
    Max. spacing of wales, 25 in, use 24 in
    Max. spacing of form ties, 31 in
    • The 3/4“ plywood sheathing will be placed with the 4 ft wide
    in the vertical direction and the 8 ft length in the horizontal
    direction.
    • The total quantity of sheathing will be:
    No. sheets in vertical direction, 9’-6” 4‘/sheet = 2.37, use 3 sheets
    No. sheets in horizontal direction, 25’-4” 8’/sheet = 3.16, use 4 sheets
    No. sheets required per side, 3 x 4 = 12
    No. sheets required for wall, 12 x 2 = 24
    • Studs required:
    Length of wall, (25 x 12)+4 = 304 in
    Spacing of studs, 18 in
    No. studs required per side, (304/18)+1 = 18
    No. studs required for wall, 2 x18 = 26
    Lumber required, 36 pc, 2 x4 x 10 ft = 240 fbm
    • Wales required:
    Height of wall, 114 in
    Spacing of wales, 24 in
    No. required per side, 114/24 = 4.75, use 5 wales
    For each wale, use 2 pc of 2x4 x 12 ft
    and 2 pc of 2x4 x 14 ft lumber
    • Lumber required:
    20 pc, 2x4 x 12 ft = 160 fbm
    20 pc, 2x4 x 14 ft = 187 fbm
    Total lumber = 240 + 160 +187
    = 587 fbm
    • Add 10 to 20% for misc. (sills, splice…etc)

    Total quantity of lumber


    = 587 + 0.2 x 587
    = 704 fbm
    Number of ties needed
    If we use 4000 lb ties
    664 x 9.5 x 25.3
    Number of ties = 4000
    = 51ties
    Quantity of Nails
    = 704 x 10 lb/1000fbm
    = 7.04 lbs

    Summary of Materials to Build forms:

    • Plywood required = 24 sheets


    • Lumber required = 704 fbm
    • Nails required = 7 lbs
    • Ties required = 51
