Abstract

Planning formwork (selecting systems, designing layout of formwork members) affects the economy of in situ concrete structures. Formwork rental cost, and labor cost of formwork installation and removal,  have a significant share in total cost. The paper investigates into the problem of minimizing wall shuttering cost. A mathematical model of the problem of panel layout is proposed, and its operation is illustrated by the case with two optimization criteria.
