The main function of building formwork is to provide a temporary support and mould to keep the required shape and structure of concrete during construction. It can support the weight of concrete, prevent concrete from losing or collapsing, and shape concrete into required shapes, such as floors, walls and beams.
There are many types and forms of building formwork. According to the specific construction requirements and structural design, different materials and construction methods can be adopted. Common building templates include wooden templates, steel templates and aluminum alloy templates. Wood formwork is the most common and widely used one, which is composed of wood and has certain strength and durability. Steel formwork is made of steel, which has high strength and stability and is suitable for the construction of large complex structures. Aluminum alloy formwork is light in weight, easy to assemble and disassemble, and suitable for rapid construction and projects with high mobility requirements.
Building formwork is often removed after the completion of construction to facilitate the subsequent construction process, which makes the building formwork temporary. However, in some special cases, if some templates need to be kept as part of the structure or need to be reused, the building templates can also be properly handled and kept.
In a word, building formwork plays a vital role in building construction, providing temporary support and molding for concrete construction and ensuring the stability and accuracy of building structure.
