Abstract- Forms mold the concrete to desired size and shape and control its position and alignment.
Form works are temporary structure that supports its own weight +the freshly placed concrete +construction live loads (materials, equipment, and people).
Size, shape, and alignment of slabs, beams, and other concrete structural elements depend on accurate construction of the forms.
The form work must remain in place until the concrete is strong enough to carry its own weight, or the finished structure may be damaged.
