Feasibility study of multilayer construction sheet formwork

Abstract

The construction industry is continually looking for novel ways to improve building efficiency and sustainability. This research paper presents a feasibility assessment of multilayer construction sheet formwork, which includes a questionnaire survey and an experimental comparison of several formwork systems. The study aims to address the following objectives: (1) evaluate the feasibility of implementing multilayer construction sheet formwork in comparison to traditional formwork systems, (2) identify potential ad- vantages and limitations of multilayer formwork in terms of cost-effectiveness, durability, and construction time, (3) assess the perceptions and preferences of construction profes- sionals through a comprehensive questionnaire survey, and (4) conduct an experimental trial. The methodology takes a mixed-methods approach, mixing qualitative survey re- sponses with quantitative data from experimental studies. The questionnaire survey is aimed at construction industry experts such as engineers, contractors, and architects, and seeks to learn about their perspectives, experiences, and preferences for formwork sys- tems.The factors in the questionnaire isranked and then analysed using ANOVA method. Concurrently, experimental processes are carried out to compare the structural integrity, material efficiency, and practicality of multilayer formwork to traditional options.The ex- periments used for the study are density,reistance to heat , water absorption and so on. The outcomes of this study are expected to provide useful insights to the construction in- dustry by making evidence-based recommendations about the feasibility and effectiveness of multilayer construction sheet formwork. This study may help to guide construction project decision-making processes by identifying ways to optimise resource utilization, shorten project schedules, and improve overall construction quality.
