QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY ON WALL FORMWORK USING PLYWOOD SIDEWAYS IN CONVENTIONAL FORMWORK PART 1: STRUCTURAL CALCULATION AND COMPOSITION

Abstract

This report presents findings from a questionnaire survey aimed at clarifying the actual state of wall formwork construction using plywood sideways. It covers various factors, including the percentage of plywood sideways use, structural calculations, and composition of wall formwork. The survey revealed that in wall formwork using plywood sideways, the formwork composition is often specified by the designer. Therefore, design considerations are given priority over the rigidity of the formwork, and it is possible that sufficient attention has not been given to the rigidity of the formwork.
