Formworks also act as a temporary structure that support the following, EXCEPT:

• it’s own weight

• dead load

• construction live loads (material , human, logistic)

• the freshly placed concrete

In practice, the column is cast up to the underside of the lowest beam soffit.

• True

• False

_________ is where the ratio of effective length to least lateral dimension is less than 12.

• long column

• short column

• wide column

A good formwork would have the following characteristics EXCEPT:

• less durability

• safe

• cost effective

• high quality

Adequate control of concrete placement is one of the causes of formwork failure.

• True

• False

The main bar reinforcement is to be provided at the ______ span of the slab.

• longer

• shorter

In the shorter span slab faces High bending Moment which is known as _______.

• dead load

• sagging

• spanning

• compression

Strength of the column depends on the following, EXCEPT:
