The advantage and disadvantage of wood formwork
Advantage of wood (timber)formwork
1. Easy handling because it’s light weight
2. Easy to disassemble
3. Damaged parts can be replaced with new one
4. Very Flexible
Disadvantages of timber formwork
1. Can’t be used for long. Have limited reuse. Can only be reused 5 or 6 times
2. If the timber is dry, it will absorb moisture from wet concrete which could weaken the resultant concrete member.
3. Timber with high moisture content (more than 20 % moisture content), wet concrete will shrink & cup leading to open joints & leakage of grout.
