Scaffolding Column | What is Formwork Support? Explaining the Differences and Types Compared to Scaffolding

[Report Presentation] This explains the formwork support that is essential for concrete work. 2023/8/22

Architectural technology has existed for a long time, but in Japan, it has made remarkable progress since the end of the 19th century. One of the key factors behind this development was the production of cement in domestic factories. Until then, cement was imported from overseas, but once it became possible to supply cement domestically, many buildings using concrete began to be constructed. Concrete is a building material made by mixing cement with water, gravel, and sand, and it is used for foundations, columns, beams, and walls of buildings. Concrete is characterized by its high strength, but it has a weakness in that it is vulnerable to tensile stress. To address this weakness, "reinforced concrete," which incorporates steel bars into the concrete, has been adopted for large-scale buildings. To use this convenient building material, formwork for pouring concrete is necessary. In this article, we will explain the essential formwork support for concrete work. *For more details, please download the PDF document.*
