Abandon formwork in place?
Abandon formwork in place?
(OP)
I am designing a structural promenade slab that spans about 20' between c.i.p. walls. Walls are about 20' high, and no need to put backfill in the dead space between the walls. No need for doors or openings into the dead space. Do you normally see formwork for this application abandoned in place?






RE: Abandon formwork in place?
Usually you can avoid it by using a composite metal deck and one line of timber shoring (which will be lost but is cheaper than a full set of formwork.)
Alternatively use soil as formwork, or leave a section of wall out until it is built so that the formwork can be removed.
