 What is Slip Form?
Slip Form is a construction method in which formwork is
continuously risen vertically as a work process. It is a method of
vertical construction of a reinforced concrete section. Click icon to add picture
It is generally used to construct the core wall in building
constriction and also the lift shafts, stair shafts, towers, etc. Slip
Forming is a self-supported formwork system and it may need
little help from a crane during construction.

 Introduction
These types of formwork systems can be used to construct any
regular shape or core. In this method of concrete construction slip
forms raised or lifted upward at a rate of about 300mm per hour, Click icon to add picture
supporting itself on the core and not relying on support or any
external support from the building.
Generally, the slip form technique has three platforms. The top
part of the formwork acts as the storage and distribution area
whiles the middle platform, which is located at the top of the main
concrete pouring area. The bottom platform of slip forming
provides ease for finishing the work.

SHEATHING OR VERTICAL
FORMS
Sheathing forms also known as vertical forms, can be
made up of wood staves, metal, plywood, glass-fiber
reinforced plastic, or a combination of these materials.

Every material defines its specific characteristics when

used individually or combined. One of the important
objectives of sheathing or vertical forms is to shape
the concrete.

 COMPONENTS OF SLIP
FORMWORK
Wales

The function of Wales is to hold vertical form in place

till the hardening. Hence it is considered to be the
important component of vertical slip.

It is also trusted for supporting various platforms and

scaffolding, as it can transmit lifting force from yoke to
other components and elements of form.

Yokes

Yokes are used to attach and support wales at regular

intervals with legs. It is the component of vertical slip
formwork.

Yokes are capable of transmitting lifting forces from

the jacks used during the removal of formwork, to
wales. It is also liable to resist the lateral force of
plastic concrete within the form.

Jacks

Jacks are mounted on a jack rod which in turn is

installed on the yokes beam. It acts as a lifter of the
slip enabling the necessary force to lift the entire slip
form system.

These all components like decks, scaffolds complete

this entire system of slip form. They provide sufficient
space for concreting, reinforcing steel, and
embedding.

Quick Setting Property of concrete serves the dependency of

Vertical Slip Form System needed in-between of initial strength
gain and also the ability to work.
Concrete placing into form-work is a practice done to develop
strong initial strength of concrete in order to that the form slips
freshly onto concrete avoiding the ability to work.
Various types of hydraulic lifters are available to efficiently lift or
extend formwork for the whole horizontal projection. That is
where the Work platform comes into the picture.

CANTILEVER JUMP FORM
METHOD
In Cantilever Jump Form Method, the work of lifting devices in
order to lift and expand the form-work is done by the electric
motors.
The cantilever Jump Form Method minimizes the use of cranes as
it is attached to the large area of formwork with respect to story
height.

EGG SHAPE SLIP FORM
SYSTEM
Being the different type of Slip Form System, however, its
principle is based on jump form which is adapted to any of the
geometric shapes.
The change of circumference of the system results in the extension
or removal of the cantilever plate. Adjustment of curvature can be
done by simply adjusting the circumferential slope and axis.
Egg Shape Slip Form System is flexible to accommodate
adjustment on each side of the wall as well as products of optimal
working condition.

CONICAL FORMWORK
SYSTEM
Conical Form-work System is having conical formwork which is
made of cantilever plates as well as overlapping plates which are
attached through steel yoke frames. Cantilever, as well as
overlapping plates, have the mechanism of automatically adjusting
the geometry.
Structure of varying wall thickness including tapering walls can be
constructed through this system. However, the structures whose
formwork changes geometrically from angular to circular are also
constructed through it.

 USES OF SLIP FORM
• The primary use of Slip formwork has
been done for constructing tall towers
Click icon to add picture and big bridges.
• Silos and grain elevators are constructed
using the Slip Form technique.
• This technique has also been introduced
in the construction of roads and
highways.
