- This assembly process can be performed with the aid of a specially made jig, to ensure accuracy in the completed assembly 100 .
- the bracing elements 40 A and 40 B improve the strength and rigidity of the lost column formwork assembly 100 . Usefully, they will reinforce the assembly 100 against bulging when the assembly 100 is filled with concrete, ensuring dimensional accuracy of the completed column.

Description
- The present application claims priority from Australian Provisional Patent Application No. 2019903147 titled “COLUMN FORMWORK IMPROVEMENTS” and filed on 28 Aug. 2019, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present disclosure relates to formwork. In a particular form the present disclosure relates to lost column formwork.
- Structural concrete columns are formed by pouring the concrete into shape providing formwork arranged around structural steel reinforcement framework so that the concrete sets around the reinforcement framework.
- Lost formwork is formwork which remains in situ after pouring, becoming part of the completed structure. Use of lost formwork permits preassembly of the formwork offsite, reducing delays associated with the set-up, removal and cleaning of conventional reusable formwork.
- Lost column formwork comprises a shell into which the structural steel reinforcement framework is positioned and the concrete is poured, and which will remain a part of the completed column.
- Fire resistance is a critically important part of structural design of structures. Standards for structural fire design of concrete structures typically require specified minimum dimensions of a cross-sectional area for the structure, and specified minimal distances of reinforcement bar from the surface of the concrete member, the latter being commonly referred to as ‘axis distance’.
- A significant issue with lost column formwork relates to preventing bulging or ballooning of a shell of the formwork resulting from hydrostatic pressure once this is filled with concrete.
- A further issue is ensuring that the ‘axis distance’ of the reinforcement bar from the surface of the column is properly established during manufacture, and that this axis distance will be maintained when transporting the formwork to the building site, and finally once this formwork is filled with concrete. Where bulging occurs, this axis distance will be greater than required, but insufficient in other (higher) regions on the column. As a result, such a column would not meet the necessary standards.
- Yet a further issue is that the long and slender geometry of columns creates difficulties with internal assembly of the lost column formwork, particularly in the central region of the formwork, as this cannot be accessed from the ends thereof.
- It is against this background and the problems and difficulties associated therewith that the present invention has been developed.
