Abstract
Formwork System (FS) selection for reinforced cement concrete (RCC) members is a crucial factor in finishing the project successfully, as it is necessary for improved productivity and faster construction of the projects. The present study assessed the criteria influencing the formwork system selection in the construction of residential buildings. From the literature and past studies conducted on selecting the formwork system, a total of 24 influencing factors were identified. The formwork suitability is analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Furthermore, using the performance indicators used in the formwork system analysis, a total of 5 influencing factors were indicated as being the primary determinant of formwork selection. The remaining 19 factors were omitted because they did not have a major influence. The surface finish, capital cost, durability, labor cost, repetition, and wastage are the top 5 factors which are identified as having a significant impact on formwork system selection. This study examines the different existing formwork technology with recently invented FS, such as aluminum formwork and the jump formwork system, that are not often used in India, to determine which formwork system is most effective and appropriate for the projects under consideration. To better understand this, the hypothetical building projects employing traditional formwork were considered to compare newly developed formwork with conventional formwork systems considering the key selection criteria analyzed. The results offer a better understanding of the influencing factor affecting the formwork system selection in Mumbai City. They will help construction professionals improve productivity in terms of cost saving faster construction, expanding the existing knowledge regarding formwork selection systems, and decreasing formwork waste.
