Introduction
Concept of ALUMINIUM FORMWORK Developed by MIVAN GROUPS, MALAYSIA Driving force speed of construction, quality of construction, seismic resistivity, economy Good quality construction should not deter the project speed nor should it be uneconomical
April 27, 2012
Traditional mode of construction - inadequate for mass housing construction. Prone to poor quality control
Mass housing works technologies for fast construction to deliver quality, economic and durable structure.
Pre-cast and cast-in-situ techniques are used for quick construction. Use of Aluminum alloy for formwork

What is a Formwork?
Temporary supports and castings
April 27, 2012
Support for plastic concrete when placed, till it gains half of its design strength .
Forms or moulds or shutters are the receptacles in which concrete is placed, so that it will have desired shape or outline when hardened. Once concrete develops the adequate strength to support its own weight they can be taken out. - ACC

Formwork - Requirements
Sufficiently strong enough The joints should be rigid Construction lines in the formwork should be true Easily removable without damage to itself
April 27, 2012
Self weight, Wet concrete weight, Live load, Impact of concrete pour, vibrations. Load in bending and shear for frame and joist-370kg/m2.
MIVAN System
3S - SYSTEM OF CONSTRUCTION - Speed, Strength, Safety
MIVAN Formwork
Aluminum alloy panels Excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio Face or contact surface - 4mm thick plate Ribbons 6 mm thick. Pin and wedge arrangement system Requires no bracing High strength wall ties Small panels no heavy equipment

MIVAN FORMWORK
Heavy lifting eliminated

On Concrete Activities
Beam / deck props adjacent to drop areas slipping due to vibration Bracing at special areas slipping due to vibration Overspill of concrete at window opening

Designed using most optimal panel size , by the use of stateof-art design software. Incorporates optimum assembly procedure ,economical panel selection ,hence minimizing capital and operational cost. Flexible in design and can take any architectural and structural form such as bay window, staircase etc.

Work Cycle
System for scheduling & controlling the work of other connected
April 27, 2012
construction trades Deshuttering of the panels 12 to 15 hrs Positioning brackets & platforms on the level- 10 to 15 hrs
4 Day Cycle
vertical formwork Day 2: erection of the second side of the vertical formwork and formwork for the slab Day 3: fixing reinforcement bars for slabs and casting of walls and slabs
April 27, 2012
In RC load bearing wall and slab- structure become monolithic box type suitable for resisting horizontal load.(shear wall).

Quality Enhancements
High quality formwork panels - consistency of dimensions Level and verticality Plastering eliminated 3mm to 4mm skin coat enough for pleasant appearance
April 27, 2012
Merits
Total system forms the complete concrete structure Custom designed to suit project requirements Unsurpassed construction speed High quality finish Cost effective Panels can be reused up to 250 times Erected using unskilled labour Quality and speed - given due consideration along with economy Low maintenance due to monolithic structure , hence very cost effective in long run
April 27, 2012

Limitations
Because of small sizes - finishing lines are seen Concealed services become difficult Requires uniform planning and uniform elevations to be cost effective Modifications are not possible Large volume of work is necessary to be cost effective Spacers, wall ties - seepage, leakages during monsoon Shrinkage cracks High heat of hydration shear walls
April 27, 2012
33
Remedial Measures
Wall ties - create holes in wall after deshuttering Box-type construction - shrinkage cracks, near door and window openings in the walls
April 27, 2012
Minimize these cracks by providing control strips in the structure which could be concreted after a delay of about 3 to 7 days after major concreting The problem of cracking can be avoided by minimizing the heat of hydration by using Flyash
