갱폼이라 함은 주로 고층 아파트에서와 같이 평면상 상ㆍ하부 동일 단면 구조물에서 외부벽체 거푸집과 거푸집 설치ㆍ해체작업 및 미장ㆍ치장(견출) 작업발판용 케이지(cage)를 일체로 제작하여 사용하는 대형 거푸집을 말한다. 여기서 케이지는 갱폼에서 외부벽체 거푸집 부분을 제외한 부분으로 거푸집 설치ㆍ해체작업, 후속 미장, 치장(견출) 등 작업을 안전하게 수행하는데 필요한 작업발판, 안전난간 등으로 구성되어 갱폼 거푸집에 결합된 부분이며, 상부 케이지는 갱품 케이지의 4단 작업발판 중 거푸집 설치ㆍ해체작업용으로 사용되는 상부 2단 작업발판 구성 부분이고, 하부 케이지는 미장ㆍ치장(견출) 작업용으로 사용되는 하부 2단 작업발판 구성 부분을 말한다.(중략)

Recently, the urban centralization phenomenon appears to be growing. As a result, many vigorous efforts for the use of underground space are being made. In particular, the basement depth of construction in the downtown area has deepened and construction is often done close to adjacent buildings. In this case, generally, the underground construction approach mainly used is the composite basement wall system. However, a cost analysis of the basement composite wall system does not exist. Therefore, in this study, the cost of the composite basement wall system was analyzed. The percentage breakdown of costs were: buttress work processes, 3% form work processes, 26% reinforcement work processes, 12% support work processes, 42% and other processes,17%. Accordingly, it will be necessary when developing new technology and construction methods to determine the development focus.

With the amendment to the Building Act in November of 2005 that offered incentives in terms of floor area ratio and number of stories to apartment buildings adopting the Rahmen structure to facilitate remodeling, the construction industry is paying more attention to PC structures. As connections between PC columns and beams require complex design, it is very difficult to install and remove forms. Since forms made of plywood for such connections are fabricated and installed on site, a significant amount of labor is required, and constructability is low. Furthermore, after concrete casting, the forms are removed in a state in which they cannot be recycled, which leads to a significant amount of construction waste. For this reason, a solution to address such issues needs to be studied. However, many researchers have focused only on the structural performance of PC structures in Korea and elsewhere, ignoring the need for research on the forms used in building PC structure connections. Therefore, this research aims to develop a form that can improve the productivity of PC structure connection construction, and compare it with conventional forms to highlight its contribution to gains in productivity and economic viability.

Gangform compared with conventional wood and steel form is systemized form which has a capability to install and dismantle form at a time without repeating to assembly and disassembly small members. Gangform compared with ACS has some problems such as 1) Tower Crane load increase, 2) increase in safety incidence during climbing Gangform, 3) decrease in detachment operation productivity, 4) stop work due to climate impacts, and 5) decrease in labor cost, productivity, quality. A conceptual design model of automated Gangform climbing system is suggested for apartment housing construction to show its technical/economic feasibility and workers' safety while increasing operation productivity and concrete quality.

The widespread adoption of aluminum slab formwork in modern construction, evident in both domestic and international projects, offers numerous advantages. However, a critical challenge persists regarding the dismantling process for these slabs. The current industry standard involves dropping the slabs to the ground floor upon removal. This practice raises several concerns, notably the generation of significant noise pollution that disrupts nearby communities. More importantly, the risk of worker injuries due to falls from height during the dismantling process is a serious safety hazard. Additionally, the impact from dropping the slabs can damage the aluminum itself, leading to increased replacement costs. These drawbacks necessitate the exploration of alternative dismantling techniques that prioritize worker safety, material sustainability, and overall process efficiency. Accordingly, in this study, when the entire first-generation slab formwork of an apartment house is simultaneously lowered to a reachable position for workers, it is then disassembled and lifted for transport to the next floor. This approach has the potential to demonstrate improvements in safety, quality, economy, and process efficiency.

In Korea, a series of noise-reduced aluminum forms are being recently used in apartment housing construction. However, their complicated and time-consuming work processes, and the noise which is still generated due to the inherent property of aluminum when especially installing and dismantling them have been pointed out as a problem to be certainly solved for increasing their practical use in construction sites. The primary objectives of this study are proposing an optimal conceptual design of a newly designed noise-reduced aluminum form and verifying the technical feasibility by conducting a working mock-up drive experiment. Thus, conventional noise-reduced aluminum forms have been analyzed and three conceptual designs of a newly noise-reduced aluminum forms have been deducted. AHP has been applied to a survey data collected by interviewing field experts. A trade-off analysis results have shown that 'Noise-reduced System Aluminum Form with a Drop-down Floor Post and Adaptive Beam' the highest weights of safety(0.52), work convenience(0.54) and thus selected. The suggested conceptual design in this study improved problems of conventional system aluminum forms. It is also expected that the suggested design will be used as a reliable guideline for the actual development of an aluminum form that ensures noise-reduce, work convenience and labor safety.
