Formwork and falsework - Coggle Diagram

- - - - collection of container that receive concrete mix
      - Serves as a mould for wet concrete
      - enabling it to harden to the desire size and shape of the finished reinforced concrete structure or component
  - - - System which locate and retain the formwork
        
        in the desired position in a stable and safe manner
- - - - Easily obtained
      - Cheapest in first cost
      - Easily handled and transported
      - Able to take considerable load
    - - Low life span
      - Required skilled labour
      - Timber absorded water which reduced the strength of concrete unless it is sufficiently wetted
      - Surface is affected by the concrete after serveral reuse
      - Highest deflection of the 3 material
      - Unless well finished it gives a rough texture to the concrete
  - - - Cannot be used in high temperature extreme
      - Production cost is high unless produced in great quantities
    - - Light and easily handled
      - Durable
      - Easily repaired when damaged
      - Forming circular & irregular shape
  - - - Strongest of material
      - Most durable
      - Produced good fair face finish
      - Easily assembled as it more mechanical
    - - Initial cost is high
      - Suitable for forming right angles but difficult to form curve
      - High thermal expansion and contraction
- - - - Grout
        
        Refer to a mixture of water and cement
        
        serves as critical element for binding the concrete
  - - - making it more flexible
        
        to faciliate minor change
- - - - to supervise erection,alteration or dismantling and inspection of form work
      - To attend mandatory formwork safety course for supervisor
- - - - usually place in a longer period of time and is removed last in the form of slab and beam
  - - - 1 day
    - - 3 day
    - - 7 days
    - - depend on concrete material
