The importance of formwork methods in the economical execution of concrete structures

In recent years, with the continuous growth of population, people's demand for housing is also increasing. Especially since the 21st century, the number of high-rise apartments in major cities in the world has increased significantly. As the mainstream technology in high-rise buildings,the formwork method is developing and many new formwork systems are appeared. In a complete construction project, although the cost of formwork is not high, it also requires a lot of manpower and time limit. That is why it is very important to choose the appropriate formwork. They have their unique advantages and disadvantages, whether it is the traditional wooden formwork, the current mainstream beam formwork and frame formwork, or the new aluminum system formwork. Therefore, with the continuous innovation of formwork technology, that the application of formwork in high-rise buildings should also develop in a diversified direction. This article will conduct an economic and technical analysis of various common formworks to discuss how to choose high-rise building formworks and analyze the rationality of the selection, that combined with actual projects in China. The importance of the formwork mothod in the economic execution of concrete structures is summarized through the comparison between the various formworks.:1 Introduction
