Steel formwork used in construction can be classified into various types based on its application and structural characteristics, primarily including:
1. Flat Formwork: Flat formwork is the most commonly used type of steel formwork, primarily employed for casting horizontal components such as walls and floor slabs. It is characterized by a simple structure, ease of use, high load-bearing capacity, and a high reuse rate.
2. Beam Formwork: Beam formwork is primarily used for casting horizontal components such as beams and bridge structures. It is characterized by the ability to span large distances, high load-bearing capacity, and excellent stability.
3. Column Formwork: Column formwork is primarily used for casting vertical components such as columns. It is characterized by adjustable height, good stability, and flexible application.
4. Special-Shaped Formwork: Special-shaped formwork is primarily used for casting components with irregular shapes. It is characterized by diverse forms, a high degree of customizability, and flexible application.
