The elements of the molds used for the formation of structural reinforced concrete members are separated into four categories:
1- Surface elements or planking
2- Horizontal bearing elements or beams
3- Scaffolds or staging
4- Accessories like connectors, pins or clips, etc.
Mould of a shear wall
The mold elements might be conventional or industrialized.
Mould of a column
Engineered Formwork Systems are a combination of timber, steel, aluminum, and plastic and their names vary depending on the factory that produces them.
Engineered Formwork scaffold for the formation of slab’s formwork
The construction of the beams and slabs formwork is performed with the use of composite, timber I-section beams, and shuttering plywood without nailing. Scaffolds are made out of aluminum. Striking (removal) of formwork is performed by releasing the special pins at the top of the scaffold allowing it to controllably recede around 50 mm without damages and without danger of an accident.
Mould of a shear wall with the use of industrial metalwork
Assembling the formwork of a 5.50 m high shear wall and positioning the working platform requires only a few minutes. Removing that formwork requires even less time and is a fast and safe procedure.
Mould of a column with the use of industrial metalwork
This column is 5.50 m high and its formwork is quickly assembled with 50 mm module cross-section dimensions.
