Removal of formwork:
Time of formwork removal depends on the following factors
1. Type of Cement
1. Rapid hardening cements require lesser time as compared to OPC
(Ordinary Portland Cement)
3. Weather condition
1. Hydration process accelerates in hot weather conditions as compared to
cold and humid weather conditions.
