other construction trends such as steel

requires a restructuring of the entire conventional
construction process to enable interaction between
the design phase and production planning in order
to improve and speed up the construction. The
speed of construction by this system will surpass
speed of most of the other construction method.

In the design of formwork for columns or

should be taken into account. This pressuredepends
upon the quantity of water in theconcrete, rate of
pouring and the temperature.
