Limitations
1. Wood, steel sheets/plates, ply boards, Aluminum, Plastics etc⦠are com
monly used form work materials.
2. Formwork costs around 40-50% of the total construction cost in RCC.
3. Storing and limitations in reusing increases the capital investment in con
struction industry.
4. Formwork arrangement and its alignment consumes more time compare
d to the concreting work.
5. Aluminum form work, steel form work, vinyl based form work, rubber and
glass form works are also available. But still the capital investments are
high and requires maintenance, transportation, storing unit etc..
NEED OF STAY-IN-PLACE FORM WORK
Stay in place (SIP) form work system is an effective and advanced way of
formwork system.
In SIP the formwork material become an integral part of the structural ele
ments Advantages such as thermal comfort, external protection to resist
the durability issues, additional confining pressure and reduces the
construction time and offers viable economical solution.
Different materials such as fibers reinforced polymers (FRP), polyvinyl
(PVC), Cementitious composites, extended polystyrene (EPS), glass fiber
reinforced concrete/composites (GFRP), steel composites, steel meshes
etc... have been in practice.
Research Scope in SIP
Numerous researches have focused on improving the SIP system m
ore systematically and efficiently. Problems such as the bond
between the fresh concrete and the form work materials influence
on the elemental behavior, failure pattern, life span etc⦠have been
identified as issues in SIP systems and research level and practical
level solutions also had been proposed.
Advantages
β’ Offers resistance to gravity and lateral loading due to its monolith
ic construction technique.
β’ Energy efficiency and thermal comfort
β’ Noise reduction
β’ Resistant to corrosion.
β’ Easy to install and time saving construction technique.
β’ Cost effective solution.
HYBRID FRP PANELS
In Hybrid FRP panels light weight concrete/foam based concrete used as cor
e material over a thin layer of normal concrete will be used. Figure shows the
Hybrid FRP panels. The bottom most FRP planks are offering better resistan
ce to tension and the top most concrete layer offers resistance to compressio
n. The inner core resists the shear force and acts as insulated materials. This
principle increases the stiffness and strength without increasing the density o
f the elements.

Heat Transfer- Conduction
β’ Heat transfer by conductioninvolves transfer of energywithin a material withoutany motion of the materialas a whole.
β’ The rate of heat transferdepends upon thetemperature gradient andthe thermal conductivity ofthe material.
Definitions from: Hyperphysics.net
Particles are held together very
closely by strong electromagnetic forces
β’ Heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or waterwhen the heated fluid is caused to move away from the sourceof heat, carrying energy with it.
β’ Convection above a hot surface occurs because hot airexpands, becomes less dense. Hot water is likewise less densethan cold water and rises, causing convection currents whichtransport energy.

Particles are quite
close to each other
and irregularly
connected
by weak
electromagnetic
forces that are
easily broken and
re-established.
Radiation is heat transfer by the emission ofelectromagnetic waves which carry energy away fromthe emitting object.

HEAT CONDUCTION THROUGH A PLANE WALL
Let us consider a plane wall of homogeneous material through which heat is flowing in x-direction.,
Let,
L = thickness of the wall
A = cross-sectional area of the wall
k = thermal conductivity of wall material
T0 ,T1 = temperature maintained at
surfaces 1 and 2.
ΞT- Temp difference inside and outside
πΌ - Thermal diffusivity
HEAT CONDUCTION THROUGH A PLANE WALL
General heat conduction equation is:, (Fourier-Biot equation)
π2π/ππ₯2 + π 2 π /ππ¦2 +π 2 π/ππ§2 + π/π = 1/πΌ*ππ/ππ‘
For one dimensional steady state system (ππ/ππ‘) = 0
With no heat generation (q/k)= 0
One dimensional flow , π 2 π /ππ¦2 =π 2 π/ππ§2= 0
Then, heat equation will be π 2 π/ππ₯2 = 0
π 2 π/ππ₯2 = 0
Integrating above equation,
ππ/ππ₯ = C1
Integrating it again,
T= C1x +C2
Where C1 and C2 are arbitrary constants
Steady Heat Flow through wall
β’ At x = 0; T = T0
β’ At x = L; T = T1
From the expression derived above T = C1.x + C2 β¦β¦β¦β¦(1)
At x = 0;
T0 = C1 (0)+ C2
C2 = T0
At x = L;
T1 = C1 . L + T0
C1 = (T1 - T0 )/L
Eqn. 1 can be re-written as
T = ( π»πβπ»π/π³) . π + T0
i.e temperature varies linearly with x
β’ Inference:
1. Temperature distribution across the wall is linear.
2. Temperature distribution is independent of k.
From Fourierβs Law of heat conduction, we have,
Heat flow Q = -k Aππ/ππ₯
ππ/ππ₯ = d/ππ₯ ((T1-To )/L * π₯) + To) = (T1-To )/L
Fourierβs Law can be re-written as,
Q = -k A (T1-To )/L
Q = - A U (T1-To )
Where, k- Thermal Conductivity W/mk
L/kA = Thermal Resistance of heat conduction (R) = (L/kA)
U- Thermal Transmittance, W/m2K =1/R

Different surfaces are exposed same temperature gradient
External and Internal Temperature
Due to periodic nature the temperature can be expressed as a mean temperature and a fluctuating component.
i.e. πππ (t) = πππ + fluctuation
&πππ (t) = πππ + fluctuation
Steady Heat Flow
β’ For conducting in steady state, heat exchange (πππ)
πππ = βπππ΄π (πππ- πππ)
Effect of Radiation on opaque surface
β’ For unit area, heat absorbed by a surface = Ξ± l
After reaching steady state temperature (say at equivalent temperature toe),
The Heat Absorbed = Heat Dissipated
β’ i.e. Ξ± l =βπ(πππ- πππ)
Ξ± l /βπ= Sol- air excess
πππ= πππ + Ξ± l /βπ
Ξ± = Absorptivity of surface
πππ= Sol-air temperature
πππ = Outside air temperature
ho= surface heat transfer coefficient
Temperature Gradient at different times
In (a)Temperature within the system does vary with time
In (b-d) Due to heat storage capacity of material Unsteady flow occur
Unsteady Heat Flow through wall
a) Light wall b) Heavy wall
TL: Time lag & Swing depends on thermal capacity i.e., Density x Specific heat
Thermal Mass
β’ Thermal mass is a term used in solar passive design todescribe materials that have the ability to absorb and storeheat.
β’ Solar efficient homes incorporate thermal mass in order toremain warm overnight and through periods of cold or cloudyweather
β’ High density materials such concrete, bricks, and tiles requirea great deal of heat energy to change their temperature andare therefore said to have high thermal mass. Lightweightmaterials, on the other hand, such timber, have low thermalmass.
Time Lag ΓΈ and Decrement factor f
Important characteristicsto determine the heatstorage capabilities ofany materialThe time (hour, h) ittakes for the heat waveto propagate from theouter surface to the innersurface is named asββtime lag (ΓΈ)ββ and thedecreasing ratio of itsamplitude during isnamed as ββdecrementfactor (f)
Where, t Tmax o time in hours when inside surface temperatures are at their maximums,
T Tmax e (h) time in hours when outside surface temperatures are at their maximumsP (24 h) is the period of the wave
Source: H Asan (2006)
Time Lag ΓΈ and Decrement factor f
The time lag may be computed as follows
The decrement factor is defined as:
Where, Ao, Ae amplitudes of the wave in the inner & outer surfaces of the wall
Smaller the decrement factor, the more effective is the envelope at suppressing temperature swings.
The time lag of the heat wave should be as high as possible to delay an outside sinusoidal heat wave from entering into the room
through the wall or roof.
Thermal Performance
β’ Effect of radiation on opaque surface is taken accountof through an equivalent temperature
β’ Short wave absorptivity (Low) and long wave emissivity(High) are also important
β’ Sequence of layer does not influence steady flowalthough may have effect in periodic heat flow

Thermal Admittance
β’ Thermal performance of the wall/roofs can bemeasured by two parameters: thermal insulation andthermal mass.
β’ Thermal transmittance is a steady-state property and itis the measure of thermal insulation
β’ Thermal admittance (w/mk) is the measure of thermal
mass. An ability to absorb the heat from andrelease it to a space over time.
β’ Amount of energy leaving the internal surface of theelement into the room per unit degree of temperatureswing
β’ This can be used for thermal storage capacity of amaterials absorbing heat from and releasing it to aspace through cyclic temperature variations and thusevening out temperature variations and so reducingthe building services system.
β’ This is a measure of the ability of a surface to smoothout temperature variations in a space and representsthe rate of energy entry into a structure rather thanthat of passage through it.
Thermal Admittance
For reduced cooling loads, thermal transmittance should be as low as possible and thermal admittance should be
as high as possible.
Thermal transmittance
β’ Thermal transmission through unit area of a building unit divided by
the temperature difference between the air or other fluid on either
side of the building unit in steady state conditions is termed as
Thermal Transmittance (U-value).
Overall U- factor of typical wall assembly construction:
U = 1/ (1/hi + βn Li/ Ki + 1/ ho)β¦β¦.. (i)i=1
Where, ho (19.90 W/(m2 K) and hi (9.3 W/(m2 K) are the outside and inside film heat transfer coefficients, Li and Ki
are thicknesses and thermal conductivities of material layers.
β’A measure of the overall ability of a building element (wall / window /
floor / roof) to prevent heat loss (W/m2K).
It includes: Material resistances, surface resistances & air space

CLIMATOLOGY : Thermal Comfort
β’ Thermal Comfort: Necessary to create an indoor comfortable environment
β’ The total heat produced by the body should balance the heat loss from it,
irrespective of the surrounding environmental conditions
β’ Indices of Thermal Comfort : Estimation of thermal stress due to a wide range of
climatic conditions Effective temperature (ET) & Tropical summer Index (TSI)
Effective Temperature:
β’ Definition : Temperature of still saturated air which has the same general effect
upon comfort as the atmosphere under investigation.
β’ Combinations of Temperature + Wind + Humidity same thermal sensation β‘
same ET
Tropical Summer Index (Developed by CBRI)
β’ Definition : The TSI is defined as the temperature of calm air, at 50 percent
relative humidity which imparts the same thermal sensation as the given
environment.
β’ TSI = .308 tw + .745tg - 2.06 β(V+. 841) .5 tw + .75tg - 2 βV
β’ The thermal comfort of subjects was found to lie between TSI values of 25 and
30Β°C with optimum conditions at 27.5Β°C
β’ 30-34Β°C : tolerable heat 19-25Β°C : tolerable cool
CLIMATOLOGY : Thermal Comfort
β’ These climatic conditions are shown on psychometric chart for all the three
