In this study, experimental and analytical studies were conducted on the structural performance of permanent steel formed wide beams in construction stage. Four specimens were fabricated with different rib spacings of the side steel formwork and fixing plate depths, and experimental tests were performed to investigate the effects of variables on the structural performance. Also, an finite element analysis model of the steel permanent formwork wide beam was proposed based on the test results. Using the proposed model, parametric studies were performed with variables including rib spacing of the bottom and side steel formwork, spacing, depth, and thickness of the fixing plate to derive optimized details. Furthermore, an artificial neural network model was developed to easily estimate the deformation of the steel permanent formwork wide beam with various details.

In lately, it's been developed and used a system of using deck plates as formwork in order to solve various problems caused by conventional formwork system. This system is more economical and has higher constructability than the conventional system by permanently embedding most of deck plates into the members. However, for this kind of embedded deck plates formwork system, it's been reported that it is difficult to verify filling of concrete in members like beams with narrow width and complicated rebar arrangement. In addtion, there are several problems such as corrosion of deck plates in terms of constructability and maintenance. Therefore, in this study, it is attempted to develop a removal-deck plate formwork system for beams by removing deck plates after concrete curing. The system consists of a deck plate module that acts as form, a frame preventing deformation by concrete lateral pressure, stirrup frame, and connector that combines these. As a result of this research, it is verified that it has higher constructability, efficiently prevents deformation caused by concrete lateral pressure and could be easily removed in the developed formwork system.

The structural work is the main process of building construction which influence on the time, cost, safety and quality. The form work is one of the main process which has from 20 to 30 percentage of structural work. Especially the form work for beams is complex and need more manpower compared with form work for column or slab. When the existing forms such as plywood form, steel framed wooden form and aluminum form, is used for form work of beam, it would result in the cost overrun caused by needs of lots of manpower and resources. Therefore, the aim of this study is analysis of the requirement for development of SMART beam form. The result of this study shall be used for the development of SMART form work system.

Unlike other members, beams have various cross-sections and they have an important role of delivering the load of slabs. A beam form neighbors the columns and slabs, which makes it difficult to be installed. In a conventional way to exclusively use the form after concrete pouring, the form and a support should be both removed. Then, the support should reinstalled to sustain the stripping time of form, resulting in a structural issue. To solve such structural problem, the study proposes SMART beam form that uses filler panels and supports for filler. The floor filler panels and supports for filler are not removed after concrete curing, to conform to the stripping time of supports. Thus, any structural problem such as cracks and reduction of compressive strength owing to the gap of load bearing capacity can be prevented. The study results will be used as cases for studies on productivity analyses.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the application of double layered bubble sheet on the curing of slab and wall concrete placed at the job site in cold weather and to offer a feasibility of Concrete IoT Management System(CIMS), which is wireless sensor network developed by the authors, to manage early age quality of the concrete in terms of temperature, maturity and strength development. Test results indicated that the application of bubble sheet enhances the insulation performance, which results in an increase of the temperature by around 1~20. 6℃. It is found that CIMS can gather the temperature, maturity and strength development data from the sensors embedded from 30 m far from CIMS successfully. Predicted compressive strengths by CIMS had good agreement with measured ones within 2 MPa error level until 7 days. It is thought that the combination of the bubble sheet application for cold weather protection and CIMS for quality management tool in cold weather concreting contributes to shorten the time for the form removal by one day.
