as well as their supports) for approval of the Engineer before any erection is taken up. If
proprietary system of formwork is used, the Contractor shall furnish detailed information as per
Appendix 107/1 to the Engineer for approval.
Notwithstanding any approval or review of drawing and design by the Engineer, the Contractor
shall be entirely responsible for the adequacy and safety for formwork.
107.3.2. The design of the formwork shall conform to provisions of IRC:87. It shall ensure that the
forms can be conveniently removed without disturbing the concrete. The design shall facilitate
proper and safe access to all parts of form work for inspection.
107.3.3. In the case of prestressed concrete superstructure, careful consideration shall be given to
redistribution of loads on props due to prestressing.
108 WORKMANSHIP
108.1. The form work shall be robust and strong and the joints shall be leak-proof.
Balli shall not be used as staging. Staging must have cross bracings and diagonal bracings in both
directions. Staging shall be provided with an appropriately designed base plate resting on firm
strata.
108.2. The number of joints in the form work shall be kept to a minimum by using large size
panels. The design shall provide for proper "soldiers" to facilitate alignment. All joints shall be leak
proof and must be properly sealed. Use of PVC JOINT sealing tapes, foam rubber or PVC T-section
is essential to prevent leakage of grout.
108.3. As far as practicable, clamps shall be used to hold the forms together. Where use of nails is
unavoidable minimum number of nails shall be used and these shall be left projecting so that they
can be withdrawn easily. Use of double headed nails shall be preferred.
108.4. Use of ties shall be restricted as far as practicable. Wherever ties are used they shall be
used with HDPE sheathing so that the ties can easily be removed. No parts prone to corrosion shall
be left projecting or near the surface. The sheathing shall be grouted with cement mortar of the
same strength as that of the structure.
108.5. Unless otherwise specified or directed, chamfers or fillets of sizes 25 mm x 25 mm shall be

provided at all angles of the form work to avoid sharp comers. The chamfers, bevelled edges and

mouldings shall be made in the formwork itself. Opening for fixtures and other fittings shall be
provided in the shuttering as directed by the Engineer.
108.6. Shuttering for walls sloping members and thin sections of considerable height shall be
provided with temporary openings to permit inspection and cleaning out before placing of
concrete.

the form work. Pre-camber to allow for deflection of form work shall be in addition to that
indicated for the permanent structure in the drawings.
108.8. Where centering trusses or launching trusses are adopted for casting of superstructure, the
joints of the centering trusses, whether welded, riveted or bolted should be thoroughly checked
periodically. Also, various members of the centering trusses should be periodically examined for
proper alignment and unintended deformation before proceeding with the concreting. They shall
also be periodically checked for any deterioration in quality due to steel corrosion.
108.9. The form work shall be so made as to produce a finished concrete true to shape, line and
levels and dimensions as shown on the drawings, subject to the tolerances specified in' respective
sections of these specifications, or as directed by the Engineer.
108.10. Where metal forms are used. all bolts and rivets shall be countersunk and well ground to
provide a smooth, plane surface. Where timber is used it shall be well seasoned, free from loose
knots projecting nails, splits or other defects that may mar the surface of concrete.
108.11. Forms shall be made sufficiently rigid by the use of ties and bracings to prevent any
displacement or sagging between supports. They shall be strong enough to withstand all pressure,
ramming and vibration during and after placing the concrete. Screw jacks or hard wood wedges
where required shall be provided to make up any settlement in the form work either before or
during the placing of concrete.
108.12. The form work shall take due account of the calculated amount of positive or negative
camber so as to ensure the correct final shape of the structures, having regard to the deformation
of false work, scaffolding or propping and the instantaneous or deferred deformation due to
various causes affecting prestressed structures.
108.13. Suitable camber shall be provided to horizontal members of structure, especially in long
spans to counteract the effects of deflection. The form work shall be so fixed as to provide for
such camber.
108.14. The form work shall be coated with an approved release agent that will effectively prevent
sticking and will not stain the concrete surface. Lubricating (machine oils) shall be prohibited for
use as coating.
109 FORMED SURFACE AND FINISH

The form work shall be lined with material approved by the Engineer so as to provide a smooth
finish of uniform texture and appearance. This material shall leave no stain on the concrete and so
fixed to its backing as not to impart any blemishes. It shall be of the same type and obtained from
only one source throughout for the construction of anyone structure. The contractor shall make
good any imperfections in the resulting finish as required by the Engineer. Internal ties and,

embedded metal parts shall be carefully detailed and their use shall be subject to the approval of
the Engineer.
110 PRECAUTIONS
(i) Special measures in the design of formwork shall be taken to ensure that it does not hinder
the shrinkage of concrete. The soffit of the formwork shall be so designed as to ensure that
the formwork does not restrain the shortening and/or hogging of beams during
prestressing. The forms may be removed at the earliest opportunity subject to the
minimum time for removal of forms with props retained in position.
(ii) Where necessary, formwork shall be so arranged that the soffit form, properly supported
on props only can be retained in position for such period as may be required by maturing
conditions.
(iii) Any cut-outs or openings provided in any structural member to facilitate erection of
formwork shall be closed with the same grade of concrete as the adjoining structure
immediately after removal of formwork ensuring watertight joints.
(iv) Provision shall be made for safe access on, to and about the formwork at the levels as
required.
(v) Close watch shall be maintained to check for settlement of formwork during concreting.
Any settlement of formwork during concreting shall be promptly rectified.
(vi) Water used for curing should not be allowed to stagnate near the base plates supporting
the staging and should be properly drained.
111 PREPARATION OF FORMWORK BEFORE CONCRETING

The inside surfaces of forms shall, except in the case of permanent form work or where otherwise
agreed to by the Engineer be coated with a release agent supplied by approved manufacturer or
of an approved material to prevent adhesion of concrete to the formwork. Release agents shall be
applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and shall not be allowed to
come into contact with any reinforcement or prestressing tendons and anchorages. Different
release agents shall not be used in formwork for exposed concrete.
Before re-use of forms, the following actions shall be taken :
(i) The contact surfaces of the forms shall be cleaned carefully and dried before applying a
release agent.
(ii) It should be ensured that the release agent is appropriate to the surface to be coated. The
same type and make of release agent shall be used throughout on similar formwork
materials and different types should not be mixed.
(iii) The form surfaces shall be evenly and thinly coated with release agent. The vertical surface
shall be treated before horizontal surface and any excess wiped out.
(iv) The release agent shall not come in contact with reinforcement or the hardened concrete.
All forms shall be thoroughly cleaned immediately before concreting.
The Contractor shall give the Engineer due notice before placing any concrete in the forms to
permit him to inspect and approve the formworks but such inspection shall not relieve the
contractor of his .responsibility for safety of formwork, men, machinery, materials and finish or
tolerances of concrete.

112 REMOVAL OF FORMWORK

advance and furnished to the Engineer for scrutiny and approval. No form work or any part
thereof shall be removed without prior approval of the Engineer.
The formwork shall be so removed as not to cause any damage to concrete. Centering shall be
gradually and uniformly lowered in such - a manner as to permit the concrete to take stresses due
to its own weight uniformly and gradually to avoid any shock or vibration.
Where not specifically approved. the time of removal of form work (when ordinary Portland
Cement is used without any admixtures at an ambient temperatures exceeding 10 degrees
Celsius) shall be as under:
a) Walls, pairs, abutments, : 12 to 48 hours as may be

columns and vertical faces decided by the Engineer
of structural members
b) Soffits of Slabs : 3 days
(with props left under)
c) Props (left under slabs) : 14 days
d) Soffit of Girders : 7 days
(with props left under)
e) Props (left under girders) : 21 days
Where there are re-entrant ,angles in the concrete sections, the formwork should be removed at
these sections as soon as possible after the concrete has set, in order to avoid cracking due to
shrinkage of concrete.
113 RE-USE OF FORMWORK

When formwork is dismantled, its individual components shall be examined for damage and
damaged pieces shall be removed for rectification. Such examination shall always be carried out
before being used again. Before re-use all components shall be cleaned of deposits of soil,
concrete or other unwanted materials. Threaded pans shall be oiled after cleaning.
All bent steel props shall be straightened before re-use. The maximum deviation from straightness
is 1/600 of the length. The maximum permissible axial loads in used props shall be suitably
reduced depending upon their condition. The condition of the timber components, plywood and
steel shuttering plates shall be examined closely for distortion and defects before re-use.
114 SPECIALISED FORM WORK

Specialized form work may be required in the case of slipform work, underwater concreting,
segmental construction etc. Such specialised formwork shall be designed and detailed by
competent agencies and a set of complete working drawings and installation instructions shall be
supplied to the Engineer. The site personnel shall be trained in the erection and dismantling as
well as operation of such specialised formwork. In case proprietary equipment is used, the
supplier shall supply drawings, details, installation instructions, etc., in the form of manuals along
with the form work. Where specialised form work is used, close co-ordination with the design of
permanent structure is necessary.
For slipform the rate of slipping the form work shall be designed for each individual case taking
into account various parameters including the grade of concrete, concrete strength, concrete
temperature, ambient temperature, concrete admixtures, etc. In the case of segmental

construction, the concrete mix shall be normally designed for developing high early strength so
that the form work is released as early as possible.
In order to verify the time and sequence of striking/removal of specialised formwork, routine field
tests for the consistency of concrete and strength development are mandatory and shall be
carried out before adoption.
For specialised form work, the form lining material may be either plywood or steel sheet of
appropriate thickness. Plywood is preferred where superior quality of surface is desired whereas
steel sheeting is nominally used where large number of repetitions are involved.
115 TESTS AND STANDARDS OF ACCEPTANCE

of its discharge from the agitator. It may be necessary to add retarding admixtures to concrete if

trials show that the periods indicated above are unacceptable. In all such matters, the Engineer's
decision shall be final.
Concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by vibration or other means during placing and worked
around the reinforcement, tendons or duct formers, embedded fixtures and into corners of the
formwork to produce a dense homogeneous void-free mass having the required surface finish.

concrete until the expulsion of air has practically ceased and in a manner that does not promote
segregation. Over vibration shall be avoided to minimise the risk of forming a weak surface layer.
When external vibrators are used, the design of formwork and disposition of vibrator shall be such
as to ensure efficient compaction and to avoid surface blemishes. Vibrations shall not be applied
through reinforcement and where vibrators of immersion type are used, contact with
reinforcement and all inserts like ducts etc., shall be avoided. The internal vibrators shall be
inserted in an orderly manner and the distance between insertions should be about one and a half
times the radius of the area visibly affected by vibration. Additional vibrators in serviceable
