Fôrmas de madeira e cimbramentos para estruturas de concreto armado: estudo de caso em edifício de múltiplos pavimentos

Abstract

This work focuses on the study of wooden formwork and shoring for reinforced concrete structures, applied to a typical floor of a multi-story residential building. The topic is justified by the relevance of these systems in the execution of structures, as they represent a significant portion of the total construction cost and directly influence safety, productivity, and the final quality of the cast concrete. Despite their importance, the topic is still rarely addressed in academic training in Civil Engineering, leading many professionals to enter the market without adequate technical preparation to develop and interpret formwork designs, relying instead on empirical practices. The main objective of this work was to develop a wooden formwork and shoring design, dimensioned according to current Brazilian standards, aiming at optimizing the use of materials and ensuring structural stability during execution. The methodology consisted of a literature review, a survey of normative parameters, dimensioning, and three-dimensional modeling in Autodesk Revit 2025 software, enabling a detailed analysis of columns, beams, and slabs. The results obtained demonstrated that technical planning and correct formwork dimensioning contribute to cost reduction, material reuse, geometric precision, and greater control over the construction process. It is concluded that knowledge of formwork and shoring is fundamental to the work of civil engineers, as it combines safety, economy, and sustainability, in addition to filling a gap that still exists in education and professional practice.
