3.16 REMOVAL OF FORMS
A. Forms shall not be removed until the concrete has adequately hardened and set has
attained sufficient strength to resist dead loads plus applied live loads. Clamps or tie
rods may be loosened twenty -four (24) hours after the concrete is placed; ties, except
for a sufficient number to hold the forms in place, may be removed at that time.
Throughwall ties that are to be wholly withdrawn shall be pulled toward the inside face
of the respective wall or beam. Cutting ties back from the face of the concrete will not
be permitted, and care shall be exercised to avoid spalling concrete surfaces. Remove
formwork in a manner that will not damage surfaces of concrete; patch work damaged
during form removal operations.
B. Formwork for concrete members that support the weight of concrete shall remain in
place until the concrete has reached 75% of its specified 28 -day strength, unless
otherwise specified or permitted. All shoring and reshoring shall comply with ACI 318,
ACI 301, and ACI 347.
C. Under normal conditions, the minimum period of time to be allowed to elapse before
forms may be removed shall be as indicated in ACI 347, but its observance shall not
operate to relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for the safety of the structure.
Deviations shall be submitted to and reviewed by the Architect prior to removal of
forms.
D. When the temperature falls below forty degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees F.), the forms
shall remain in place an additional period equal to the time the structure has been
exposed to such lower temperature. Adequate measures shall be taken to protect the
concrete from cold weather conditions.
E. Contractor shall pay for and have Testing Laboratory make additional test cylinders to
confirm strength requirements for early form recovery.
F. Adequately reshore members subject to additional loads during construction to support
both member and construction loads in a manner that will protect member from
damage. In multistory construction, extend shoring or reshoring over a sufficient
number of stories to distribute loads in such a manner that no floor or member will be
excessively loaded or will induce tensile stress in concrete members without sufficient
steel reinforcement. Contractor shall pay for and have Testing Laboratory make
additional test cylinders to confirm strength requirements for early form recovery.
Reshore before removing original shoring. Reshoring shall remain in place until
members have attained required compressive strength, or as long as required to
support additional construction loads.
G. When reshoring is required, the operations shall be planned in advance and shall be the
responsibility of the Contractor.
H. Reshoring shall remain in place until members have attained required compressive
strength, or as long as required to support additional construction loads.

3. The compound shall be applied in accordance with the recommendations of the
manufacturer immediately after any water sheen which may develop after finishing
has disappeared from the concrete surface. It shall not be used on any surface
against which additional concrete or other material is to be bonded unless it is

measures are taken to remove it completely from areas to receive bonded
applications.

initial set after finishing. Spread curing paper over surfaces, lapping ends and sides a
minimum of 4 inches, and maintain in place by use of suitable weights for at least 7-
days, then remove.
