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.
