“…Lohana (2018) examined the effects of productivity criteria, which can be evaluated as a function of cost, cycle time, and the degree of repetition of FWS, in the selection process of FWSs in high-rise buildings in India. Rajeshkumar and Sreevidya (2019) and Rajeshkumar et al (2021) studied the factors influencing the FWS selection in high-rise buildings in India and identified 40 selection factors grouped into five categories, namely general, structural, formwork, environmental, and cost. In these studies, transportation cost was introduced as a new factor for the selection of FWSs.…”

Formwork systems selection criteria for building construction projects: a critical review of the literature

Formwork system (FWS) is one of the key components in reinforced concrete (RC) construction. Therefore, selection of the most appropriate FWS plays a critical role in the project success. Since the FWS selection is affected by several compromising and conflicting criteria, numerous studies have been carried out to identify the FWS selection criteria and/or have employed various multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods since the early 1990s. However, there is no research that conducts a critical review of the previous studies addressing the FWS selection criteria in building construction projects. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap. For this purpose, a critical review of the relevant literature was carried out using an integrative approach and the findings were validated through face-to-face interviews with professionals specialized in formwork engineering. The findings of this study may provide practitioners with a useful guide that can assist them in selecting the most appropriate FWS.

“…Lohana [29] demonstrated that the productivity criteria for the selection of FWSs in building construction projects can be measured as a function of cost, cycle time, and the degree of repetition of FWS. Rajeshkumar and Sreevidya [30] and Rajeshkumar et al [31] investigated the criteria influencing FWS selection in high-rise buildings in India by determining their relative importance level and grouped 40 selection criteria into five categories by utilizing factors analysis. In addition, transportation costs were added as a new criterion for selecting FWSs.…”

Formwork System Selection Criteria for Building Construction Projects: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach

Selecting the appropriate formwork system (FWS) is a critical aspect in the successful completion of reinforced concrete (RC) building construction projects. The selected FWS has a significant impact on the cost, time, and quality performances of the project. As there are many FWSs and formwork fabricators (FWFs) available, the selection of the FWS depends on several compromising and conflicting criteria. This study aims to identify the FWS selection criteria groupings (e.g., latent factors) and investigate the quantitative interrelationships among them. For this purpose, 35 FWS selection criteria were identified through literature review, and a questionnaire was developed. The data from the questionnaire were statistically analyzed, and five latent factors were identified: FWS-FWF characteristics, structural design, local conditions, cost, and performance indicators. A conceptual framework was developed based on the latent factors, and a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach was utilized to identify the effects among the latent factors. The results of the SEM approach confirmed that FWS-FWF characteristics are affected by the structural design and local conditions and FWS-FWF characteristics have a substantial effect on cost and the performance indicators of the project. The findings of this study may assist construction professionals in selecting the FWS in building construction projects.

“…Huang and Hinze (2003) discovered that 5.83% of falls on construction sites were ascribed to the construction of formwork or construction of temporary structures and around 21% of all accidents involved wood framing or formwork construction. From this background, formwork needs to have good quality in relation to strength, durability and rigidity and it must be safe to workers and the concrete structures and it should as well be strong enough to withstand the dead and live load (Rajeshkumar and Sreevidya, 2019). Formwork is subjected to a wide variety of loads and exposures when in use and it stands to reason that there would be a reduction in the strength or structural capacity of the formwork as it undergoes multiple uses (Gambatese et al , 2014).…”

Purpose In the Ghanaian construction industry (GCI), the option for stakeholders to adopt formwork design as a building construction requirement is uncommon place. This is due to the low level of awareness and practice of formwork design. As a result of this, there have been formwork accidents, cost and time overruns in construction. This paper aims to solicit the view of stakeholders on the awareness of formwork design practices in the GCI. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopted the interpretivism research philosophy and inductive reasoning. Through a semi-structured interview guide, data was collected. The data (interview) recorded was transcribed using the Amberscript web application. This study used thematic analysis in analyzing the data collected using Nvivo 10 software. Findings The data collected from the 22 professionals indicated that the respondents were unaware of the concept of formwork design and its practice, neither could they speak to the existence of any specific regulation nor code of practice. However, the respondents established that there was a need to design formwork and stated some benefits of it. Originality/value From the literature, little research has been done on formwork design and its context in the GCI is yet to be explored. This research attempts to fill this gap. The findings indicate that to practice formwork design, there must be education and training of human resources for formwork design, there must be a code of practice to guide the design process and legal backing through policies and regulations to mandate the design.
