(circular concrete shuttering)
A: Circular concrete shuttering is typically made from steel, aluminum, or plastic. These materials provide durability, smooth finishes, and reusability. Steel is preferred for heavy-duty projects due to its strength.
A: Install circular column shuttering by aligning prefabricated halves around reinforcement bars. Secure joints with clamps and ensure vertical alignment using spirit levels. Add braces or ties to prevent shifting during concrete pouring.
A: Circular formwork reduces edge stress concentrations, improves structural strength, and enables faster installation. It also creates aesthetically pleasing columns and minimizes concrete waste during construction.
A: Yes, high-quality steel or plastic circular shuttering can be reused 50-100 times with proper cleaning and maintenance. Ensure surfaces are undamaged and coated with release agents before reuse.
A: Circular formwork is ideal for bridges, architectural columns, silos, and decorative structures. It’s also used in seismic zones where rounded columns offer better resistance to lateral forces.
