Design and Analysis of the Support System for Cement-Base Formwork

Abstract:

The cement-base composite formwork reinforced by FRP is developed to act as permanent construction formwork. Considering such properties as the minor stiffness out of the plain and the smaller bending resistance of the formwork, the matched cross support device is designed which can be recycled. In this paper, components of the support device and the corresponding functions are introduced, the technological process is described. By means of finite element program, the appropriate support distances of formwork during concrete placement are calculated, the stress and deformation performances are also analyzed. In the end, economic benefit and environment efficiency of the permanent formwork system are discussed. The above research results indicate the feasibility and economy of the support system, which present a gist for investigation and application of the permanent FRP cement composite formwork.
