Abstract
Slab formwork accounts for about 30–40% of the total project cost. Hence, it is one of the most critical concerns for design engineers in introspecting various qualitative and quantitative aspects of a construction project, including speed, cost, and work safety. In this paper, an optimum combination of the level of shore and level of reshore by considering different storey buildings has been identified using a population-based technique, SOMGA. An investigation has been carried out with four different storey buildings, i.e., 05, 20, 40, 50 stories for two concrete grades combined with varying construction days. The arrangement of loads on interconnected slabs during the development cycle is as indicated in ACI-347.2R-05. The validation of the optimized results obtained is done by analytical calculation as per ACI. Based on the results, it is concluded that minimum cost is achieved when a combination of 1 level of shore with 1 level of reshore is used to construct multi-storey buildings.
