FORM WORK 



FORMS FOR FLOOR SYSTEMS 



Common Types of Form Work. In Fig. 1 is shown a type 

 of form work extensively used for the construction of rein- 



FIG. 1 



forced-concrete floor systems, and in Fig. 2 is shown a per- 

 spective of the forms at the intersection of a beam and 

 girder. This form work is designed so that light f -in. dressed 

 tongued-and-grooved material may be used extensively in its 

 construction. It is arranged so that the sides of the beams 

 and girders, together with the slab form boards, may be 

 removed without the necessity of removing the supports 

 directly underneath the beams and girders. 



The column form 

 for this type of 

 construction is 

 shown in Fig. 3. 



Forms Construct- 

 ed of Plank. A 

 superior type of 

 form for a rein- 

 forced-concrete 

 floor system is 

 shown in Fig. 4. The wooden forms are supported by 3" X 4" 

 studs. As it is important to bring the forms to a true level, a 

 double adjustment wedge is provided at the bottom of the 

 studs. The forms for the columns are made of 1- or 2-in.
