AS 3610.1 pdf download.Formwork for concrete
1.1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out- (a) the requirements for the documentation of architectural, structural and construction information necessary for formwork design and construction; (b) architectural requirements and procedures covering the specification of the quality, tolerance, colour, and evaluation of off-form or as-repaired in situ or precast concrete surfaces; and (c) structural requirements that- (i) are critical to the stability, strength and serviceability of the permanent structure during construction and once completed; and (i) affect the formwork design and construction. This Standard does not apply to unformed surfaces. The requirements in this Standard apply to plain concrete surfaces left off-form or prior to application of surface treatment or coating. This Standard does not cover the specification of textured finishes, surface treatment, coatings or paint.
1.2 APPLICATION
Project, construction, formwork and proprietary documentation shall conform with Section 2. The physical quality, colour control, evaluation and repairs of the concrete surface, as well as test panels, shall conform with Section 3. Structural requirements for limitations on construction loads, multistorey shoring, minimum stripping times and procedures, construction sequence and other specific information are set out in Section 4. Appendix A provides formwork importance levels in different situations. Appendix B provides blowhole photographs which are intended for use in the evaluation of completed work. Appendix C provides guidance on the documentation of formwork stripping times. Appendix D provides general commentary on Section 3. Appendix E provides an informative glossary of terms.
1.5 DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions below apply. NOTE: For guidance and informative purposes, a glossary of terms is listed in Appendix E. 1.5.1 Administrative definitions 1.5.1.1 Acceptable Conforms with the criteria set out in this Standard. 1.5.1.2 Back form A form for a concrete surface that is totally concealed in the finished structure. 1.5.1.3 Bearer Part of soffit form framing. A primary member supported on formwork supports or hangers and carrying joists. 1.5.1.4 Cantilever forms Forms that are solely supported by anchors embedded in the exposed face of previously placed concrete. 1.5.1.5 Competent person A person who has acquired through training, qualification or experience or a combination of these, the knowledge and skills that enable the person to safely and effectively perform the task required. 1.5.1.6 Construction documentation Documents that set out information on the planned construction method for the permanent structure, which are required for the formwork design and construction. 1.5.1.7 May Indicates the existence of an option. 1.5.1.8 Project documentation Drawings, specifications and associated documents that set out the information required for the construction of the permanent structure. 1.5.1.9 Proprietary documentation Brochures，catalogues, drawings, specifications and associated documents that detail proprietary formwork. 1.5.2.5 Camber The intentional curvature of formwork prior to concrete placement to compensate for the deflection of the formwork or element under load. 1.5.2.6 Cast in situ concrete Concrete that is placed, as plastic concrete, in its final location. 1.5.2.7 Class of surface finish Standard of the untreated concrete surface of the formed concrete. NOTE: Also known as ‘class’. 1.5.2.8 Colour control The limitation of tonal range of cast in situ concrete and precast concrete. 1.5.2.9 Component A structural member. 1.5.2.10 Construction joint A joint, including a joint between precast segments, that is located for the convenience of construction. 1.5.2.11 Deflection Flexural movement of a structural member or assembly in response to the forces acting on it. 1.5.2.12 Design service load The permanent and imposed loads for which the design of the permanent structure is based. 1.5.2.13 Deviation The divergence from the specified position. 1.5.2.14 Element That concrete portion of the permanent structure defined by the formed concrete faces, mandatory joints, construction joints and the completed concrete surfaces, which is cast in one continuous operation. 1.5.2.15 Falsework A part of the formwork that supports the form and transfers all the loads to a stable surface(s) prior to, during and following concrete placement. 1.5.2.16 Flatness The variations in the formed surface resulting from movement of the formwork.
