However, today’s expansive construction needs also see the steel formwork as a potential game changer. Shedding light on how these innovations redefine construction practices.
The Characteristics of Steel Formwork:
Steel formwork sets itself apart with a
myriad of features:
● Lightweight and Large Width: Significantly lighter
than combined steel formwork, steel formwork reduces weight by 1/4 to 1/5,
enhancing ease of handling. The enlarged width minimizes assembly joints,
streamlining the construction process.
● Reduced Steel Usage: Its design efficiently reduces
the amount of steel used by half compared to combined steel formwork, ensuring
structural integrity without unnecessary material consumption.
● Minimal Adsorption Force: The steel formwork boasts
a low adsorption force, facilitating easy removal after the concrete is set.
● High Turnover: With the ability to be used
approximately 50 times, steel formwork offers remarkable durability and
cost-effectiveness.
● Excellent Thermal Insulation: The steel formwork's
good thermal insulation performance proves advantageous in maintaining concrete
temperature during winter construction.
● Easy Maintenance: steel formwork is easy to maintain, allowing on-site repairs for any local damage. When one side wears out, it can be flipped for extended use.
The Advantages of
Steel Formwork:
Steel column formwork offers a range of
advantages, including a reinforced system, high component strength, combined
rigidity, precise manufacturing of formwork blocks, tight joints, minimal
deformations, overall integrity, and robust seismic resistance.
The Applications of
Steel Formwork:
Steel formwork finds
extensive use in various concrete casting applications, such as civil
construction (house construction) and bridge construction. Depending on the
pouring shape, it is categorized into different types, including box girder formwork,
T-beam formwork, cover beam formwork, hollow beam formwork, round formwork,
protective beam formwork, and pier column head formwork.
Precautions for
Installation of Combined Steel Formwork:
During the installation of combined steel column
formwork, safety is paramount. Key considerations include:
●
Sequential Assembly:
Assemble steel uprights in the order specified by the formwork design to ensure
overall stability.
● Firm Installation of Fittings: Ensure fittings are
securely installed, with flat and solid supporting surfaces under pillars and
diagonal braces, focusing support on the outer corrugation.
● Accurate Location of Embedded Parts: Precise and
firm installation of embedded parts and reserved holes is crucial.
● Leveling and Straightening: Ensure the bottom
surface of wall and column formwork is leveled, has reliable support points,
and correct straightness.
● Arrangement of Braces: Proper arrangement of
horizontal and scissor braces for steel formwork pillars based on the structure
and overall stability.
● Multi-Layer Support: Align the pillars of
multi-layer support on the same vertical centerline, with the upper part
corresponding to the lower part.
● Wooden Flute Staggering: Use whole rods for wooden
flutes, and stagger joints, with an overlap joint length not less than 200mm.
