What is green formwork?

Rapid industrialisation, growth in population and urbanisation have consumed non-renewable natural resources of the planet and also caused an unprecedented rise in global warming. Hence the use of renewable and natural materials for the formation of formwork has been increasing. This type of formwork which has the least impact on the environment is called green formwork.

What is the main purpose of formwork?

Formwork's purpose is to safely support reinforced concrete until it has reached adequate strength. Formwork can be either a temporary or permanent structure.

What is the unit used to measure formwork in estimation and costing?

Formworks are measured in square metres or square centimetres.

Differentiate between formwork and shuttering ?

On a macroscopic scale, both shuttering and formwork can be used interchangeably. However, as a matter of fact, there is a minute difference between the two and that is the material used in the process.

Differentiate between bolt and stud ?

Bolts are typically partially or completely threaded, whereas studs are threaded on both ends and frequently have an unthreaded middle section of the shaft. Furthermore, studs do not always have a head, whereas bolts always do.
