COMPARISION OF CONVENTIONAL WITH ALUMINIUM FORMWORK SYSTEM

Abstract

Construction industry is having biggest role in economy of India. In recent times, if we look at the global economy and growth of population in India, land acquisition has become more difficult. To fulfill the need of shelter of this growing population and increasing industrialization, speedy construction is the necessity of time. Same time, due to inadequacy of land Vertical growth is preferable than Horizontal one. Formwork plays an important role in construction of the buildings. It constitutes 20% cost and 60% time of the total construction. This project does the comparison of the Conventional Formwork, Tunnel Formwork and Aluminum Formwork systems. Due to increase in inhabitants, people started to construct the dwelling buildings. At the early days buildings were constructed using conventional type form work system where wooden planks, runners, poles were used for the form work. With the development of technology, man tends to use plywood in its place of planks, steel jacks for support instead of wooden poles. The below study is carried out to compare different Formwork systems on the basis of Time & Cost.
