A tall building construction is needed to reduce the construction duration for project profitability. Reducing the cycle time of typical floor in the structural frame work which have the largest duration in the whole construction, greatly affects construction duration. Nowadays, some projects are accomplished in the 3 day cycle. In order to accomplish efficiently 3 day cycle, productivity information of similar projects is supported. Therefore, this study proposed labor productivity and application by slab formwork to construct by the 3 day cycle. In order to perform an analysis, we selected 3 cases and analyzed the labor productivity on the basis of the amount of slab forms, labors, and durations. Then, we performed the questionnaire to analyze the application by formwork of tall building construction engineers. This study will contribute to establish a reasonable scheduling in structural frame work of a new similar project.

Formwork is a very important work in the construction. Various research and development about formwork has been going on, many methods are developed. And the effort to reduce the cost has been progressed at oversea. And a lot of attempts have been in motion in domestic field. But the systematic researches to apply to field are scarced. So, some problems pointed out at the stage of application. Therefore through comparison analysis of other formwork problems are derived and it's solution were suggested in this study.

An experimental study of composite beam with perforated fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) plank as a permanent formwork and the tensile reinforcement was performed. A combined formwork and reinforcement system can facilitate rapid construction of concrete members since no conventional formwork is needed, which requires time consuming assembly and dismantling. In order for a smooth FRP plank to act compositely with the concrete, the surface of the FRP needs to be treated to increase its bond properties. Aggregates were bonded to the FRP plank using a commercially available epoxy and perforated web of plank. No additional flexural or shear reinforcement was provided in the beams. For comparison, two control specimens were tested. One control had no perforated hole in the web of FRP plank and the other had internal steel reinforcing bars instead of the FRP plank. The beams were loaded by central patch load to their ultimate capacity. This study demonstrates that the perforated FRP plank has the potential to serve as a permanent formwork and reinforcing for concrete beam.

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.

The widespread adoption of aluminum slab formwork in modern construction, evident in both domestic and international projects, offers numerous advantages. However, a critical challenge persists regarding the dismantling process for these slabs. The current industry standard involves dropping the slabs to the ground floor upon removal. This practice raises several concerns, notably the generation of significant noise pollution that disrupts nearby communities. More importantly, the risk of worker injuries due to falls from height during the dismantling process is a serious safety hazard. Additionally, the impact from dropping the slabs can damage the aluminum itself, leading to increased replacement costs. These drawbacks necessitate the exploration of alternative dismantling techniques that prioritize worker safety, material sustainability, and overall process efficiency. Accordingly, in this study, when the entire first-generation slab formwork of an apartment house is simultaneously lowered to a reachable position for workers, it is then disassembled and lifted for transport to the next floor. This approach has the potential to demonstrate improvements in safety, quality, economy, and process efficiency.

In the large scale projects, it is difficult to manage every blocks because of the apartment housing project have repetitive shapes and structures. Therefore, it is necessary to divide construction site into work zones and blocks considering site plan, the number of units per each floor, arrangement of blocks, etc. In this study, 20 influencing factors on the grouping of work zones and formwork crew team formation are identified through case study and literature review. Factors are analyzed to determine the degree of influence through experts interviews. A systematic process of crew formation based on work zoning and the considerations by each steps are presented.

The paper presents results of parametric studies, and an overall approach for the design of a modular bridge system which incorporates a steel-reinforcement free concrete slab cast on top of carbon FRP stiffened deck panels which act as both structural formwork and flexural reinforcement, spanning between hollow box type FRP girders. Results of the parametric studies are highlighted to elucidate important relationships between critical configurational parameters and empirical equations based on numerical studies are presented. Results are discussed at the level of the individual deck and girder components, and as a slab-on-girder bridge system. An overall design methodology for the components and bridge system including critical performance checks is also presented.

This experimental work is to verify the previously developed prediction model for self-consolidating concrete (SCC) formwork pressure. A new apparatus was devised to simulate formwork pressure in laboratory, and experiments were performed for one SCC mix. The predicted pressure with the calibrated parameters were compared with the pressure measured under continuous and discrete pouring. The calibrated parameters have a specific trend over loading time, and the calculated pressure accurately simulates the real pressure varying over time.

Presently, the apartment house is being constructed by the very various methods. Among them, the formwork having the process rate of 60~70% of the whole construction work is most important. So this study was analyzed comparing euro-form with aluminium-form in the formwork. A case study is using euro-form and aluminum-form in the framework, inquiry into a similar case construction site of below the 20 floor. Then this case analyzed efficiency; construction period, construction cost, workability. Consequently, the aluminum-form is more effective than the euro-form in the construction site of below the 20 floor.

In this study, the concept of exposed concrete is basically considered and various expressions of concrete surface texture are verified variously. Based on this comparison, the characteristics of exposed surface of concrete according to the change of coating material applicable to formwork are compared and analyzed. I am trying to find a way to apply exposed concrete in a convenient way, In order to observe the characteristics of concrete exposed surface according to the form material, As the surface is smooth and tight, the surface condition of the concrete is smooth and the pore is small.
