aluminium formwork

i been told some projects can goes as fast as average 4 days per floor,

maybe they during concrete setting time they can do all the rebar and formwork installation for upper floor...

those in china you mean precast system? sure fast lor.... but malaysia not cost efficient yet ler...

the one in malaysia is concrete cast insitu, if commercial building which use steel structure or precast concrete structure then can even faster la... normal residential in malaysia still using normal method... just faster in terms number of labours, type of formwork used, proper planning, coordination and execution...

and depends they work how late each day....

shear wall... concrete and steel bar

2 types of shear wall

load bearing sheer wall... support of the structure, the shear wall thickness usually depend on the loading need to be taken by the support, lower floor is thicker (e.g. more than 10") and upper floor will be thinner ... cannot be dismantle or hack later the structure will collapse or crack...

non load bearing shear wall... non support of the structure, just normal steel bar inside to hold the wall and very thin in thickness (4"-6")... more popular because increase speed of construction (no need lay bricks), use at small wall like toilet etc...

but you duno which one is load bearing and which one is non load bearing... so all shear wall now they say cannot cannot hack

to get 4 days per floor need every floor is typical floor and typical formwork can be use...
