AS 3610.1:2018 PDF Download

AS 3610.1:2018 is a standard that specifies the requirements for formwork for concrete. It covers various aspects related to formwork design and construction, architectural requirements, and structural requirements.

In terms of formwork design and construction, the standard emphasizes the importance of documenting the architectural, structural, and construction information necessary for the proper execution of formwork. This documentation ensures that all relevant parties have access to the necessary information for successful formwork design and construction.

The architectural requirements addressed in the standard include specifying the quality, tolerance, color, and evaluation of off-form or as-repaired in situ or precast concrete surfaces. This ensures that the final concrete surfaces meet the desired aesthetic standards and are in line with the architectural intent.

The standard also addresses structural requirements that are critical to the stability, strength, and serviceability of the permanent structure during both the construction phase and once completed. These requirements have a direct impact on the design and construction of the formwork.
