CASE STUDY OF BRIDGE FORMWORK
IntroductionFORMWORKIt is a structure which is usually temporary but can be whole or part permanent, it is used to contain poured concrete and other such materials to mould in into required dimensions and support until it is able to support itself.
Requirements of formwork
Strength
Rigidity
Less leakage
True to size
Smooth surface
Easy removal
Supports
ECONOMY IN FORMWORK
Forms of regular sizes and shapes
Allow reuse
Design structural components to allow use of commercially available forms
Clean and oil forms after use
Pre-fabricate the forms on the ground
MATERIALS FOR FORMWORK
Steel
Timber
Plywood
FORCES ON FORMWORK
Dead load
Live load
Vertical loads
Lateral pressure
Lateral loads
Special equipment loads
Other loads

OVERLAPPING OF ISMB
Tie rod are used to hold shuttering so that is does not collapse during concreting. It has two wooden blocks connected with a rod for tightening arrangement.
JACK
Jacks are used to provide flexible arrangement over the trussels so that it can be easily removed during de-shuttering. During construction of pier wooden blocks are kept so that after concrete sets up, the wooden block is burnt so that formwork can be removed easily.
Jacks should be strong enough to withstand the dead load of concrete so they are made of steel,
Formwork for RE-Walls
Precast RE-walls were constructed on site with the help of above formwork. Here mild steel formwork is used for construction.
Both the approach roads were constructed using precast RE-walls.
SHUTTERING ON RE-WALLS
After erecting RE-walls cress barrier is constructed using ply shuttering and held with the help of tirods.
SHUTTERING
CASE STUDY ON FLYOVER NEAR ELLIS BRIDGEThe floyover starts from ellis bridge crossroads and extends up to Gujarat college road. Due to heavy congestion of traffic at ellis bridge crossroads, need was felt to build a flyover that would help in reducing the traffic congestion and travel time which in turn would reduce traffic accidents.
We observed mainly formwork erection of pier cap and bridge slab. During the visit at site, construction of pier was going on. The following are the main components of formwork for flyover
1. Steel Truss The most used component in formwork. It is made up using steel panels. Dimension of each panel are 1.5’x1.5’ It is responsible for transferring the entire load to foundation.
2. CLAMPING OF STEEL SUPPORT USING I-SECTION AND BOLT
Diameter of bolt is 12mm .
3. ERECTION OF STEEL SHUTTERS FOR PIER CAP Steel Shutters are erected on the edge of pier. The shutter assembly has holes on the edge which are to be fixed using bolts.
4. Connection between pier and steel shutter using bolts
5. SUPPORTING MECHANISM Steel truss props are laid. Over them, I sections are placed. Adjustable rods are placed between I-sections and Steel Shutters
Formwork for Bridge Slab
1. Inverted N-TYPE truss used above the steel supporting member
N-TYPE truss is placed above the supporting member.
2. I sections placed over N-TYPE I sections transfer the load to N-type truss. Over the I sections STEEL SHUTTERS are erected Steel shutters have box sections behind them for support. The final view after erection of steel shutters from below the bridge is as shown
in picture.
