Concret Formwork, consisting of steel sheets formed into mesh and U pattern rib bone, will produce a surface with concrete which will bond directly to the next pour without any special treatment. High-ribbed formwork is widely used in building construction to form retaining walls, columns, stop ends, construction joints and used to support slab flooring.
Features:
1. Visual Concrete Pouring
Because it is comprised of porous open mesh, high-ribbed formwork reduces the risk of voids and/or honeycombing occurring within the concrete.
2. Lightweight and Convenience for Transportation and Installation
High-ribbed formwork is only 10% as heavy as the common steel module, featuring fast installation and convenient transportation.
3. Suitable for Segmented Concrete
High-ribbed formwork is a permanent one that is easy for concrete to bond with the next pour without dismantling the formwork or making a juncture, thus simplifying bonding work.
4. Good Mechanical Performance and Low Side Pressure
High-ribbed formwork is only subject to 60% of side pressure compared with common formwork, thus enabling to decrease weight of rib bone by 40%.
5. Easy for Muff Coupling, Shearing, Optimizing Technologies and Increasing Shearing Strength
High-ribbed formwork will produce an ideal surface with high shearing strength combined with poured mortar that will penetrate into the formwork through the mesh pores.
6. High-ribbed formwork is multifunctional, easy to cut and bendable to form different shapes to meet different requirements.
