Formwork
The formwork is the timber , steel or plastic moulds into
which the concrete is poured on site to create the various
concrete components. It is a vital part of the construction
process and the formwork costs can be up to 50% of the
concrete construction costs. The reinforcement must be
located in the formword prior to pouring the concrete.
The formwork must be leaktight, strong and rigid to contain
and maintain dimensions of the full liquid concrete mass. It

The end of the column is connected monolithically
(solidly) to beams on either side which are at least
as deep as the overall dimension of the column in
the plane considered. Where the column is
connected to a foundation structure, this should be
of a form specifically designed to carry moments.

Design of Walls
The design axial forces in a reinforced wall may be
calculated on the assumption that the beam and floor slabs
being supported are simply supported.
The effective length of a wall l e should be obtained as if the
wall was a column which is subject to moments in the plane
normal to the wall. The determination if a wall is stocky or
slender is also obtained using the same criteria as for a
column.
Stocky reinforced walls
A stocky braced reinforced wall supporting reasonably
symmetrical load should be designed such than..

Deflection .
The deflection can be limited by the application of the
span/depth ratio as indicated in the table for beams and
modified by the use of F2 as shown in the relevant graph
Design of Beams...... Only conditions at the centre of slab in
the width of the should be used to influence the deflection.
For two way spanning slabs the ratio should be based on the
shorter span.

Deflection .
When the gross width of drops in both directions exceed 1/3
the respective span the deflection can be limited by the
application of the span/depth ratio as indicated in the table
for beams Design of Beams...... Otherwise the resulting
span/effective depth should be multiplied by 0,9.
The assessment should be completed for the most critical
direction.
