Causes of formwork failure in construction
There are several factors that may lead to the failure of formwork during and after concrete placement. Improper bracing can cause formwork failure since the weight of fresh concrete is no longer supported by the formwork system. An unanticipated incident can make members fail and subsequent overloading or misalignment of other members results in the failure of the entire formwork structure.
Moreover, omissions in the assembly detail is another factor that causes concrete formwork failure. This is because localized weakness and overstress would occur which destabilize the formwork system. Furthermore, workmanship errors due to haste, indifference, or lack of knowledge is another cause of failure.
