QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY ON REMOVAL METHODS OF SHORING UNDER SLABS AND BEAMS IN THE CONVENTIONAL FORMWORK

Abstract

There have been formwork methods which make it possible to remove the bottom forms for slabs and beams before the strength of concrete reaches design strength. In order to collect information of those methods in real site, we carried out some questionnaires targeting the engineers involved in selecting methods. In this report, firstly we classified formwork methods and wrapped up the questionnaire results about removal methods of shoring under slabs and beams in the conventional formwork.
