Introduction
Tremendous demand for housing and accomodation in a limited area has increased the trend of
vertical expansion of the buildings. Taking the concepts of vertical expansion, CPWD has the proposed
Construction of 726 Nos. Residential Quarters(288 Nos. Type-II. 288 Nos. Type- III with stilt parking
& 150 Nos. Type- IV) for Customs/Central Excise Department at Ranganathan Gardens. Anna Nagar
West, Chennai, was entrusted to M/s. Geo Foundations and Structures (P) Ltd., Adyar, Chennai-600020,
by M/s. D.E.C Infrastructure and Projects Pvt. Ltd. For rapid construction for this project, Tunnel
formwork technology has been introduced instead of conventional method of construction.
Tunnel Formwork Technology is modern method of construction in which steel tunnels are used to
cast the slab and wall in a single time/operation. It is based on two half shells which are placed together
to form a room or cell. Several cells make an apartment. This is used for office buildings, apartments
and mostly the building which has repetitive units.
Tunnel Formwork system is manufactured by many companies. But Only two of them are used in
the Central Revenue Quarters i.e.
1. Neru Tunnel Formwork system
2. Mesa Tunnel Formwork system

Literature
Review
Mr Taehoon Kim, et.al (2018): Formwork Management Based on Ubiquitous computing For High-Rise Building
construction: They studied on formwork management based on ubiquitous computing for high rise building construction.
They study intends to develop a formwork management .They conclude that the ubiquitous computing has resulted to
improvement of management performance through real time monitoring and control.
Mr. Manas A. Shalgar, et.al (2020): Introduction to advanced TUNNEL Formwork system: case study of “Rohan-
Abhilasha” : They studied on introduction to advanced tunnel formwork system. They conclude that the "Time is money“
because the time loss is ultimately money loss as current situation of labour oriented to machine oriented and also They
shows that the formwork is the best factor where we can move from labour to machine .Also conclude that new emerging
technology which is beneficial than that of aluminum or mivan formwork.
MESA IMALAT (Member of MESA GROUP OF COMPANIES) (1978): Analysis And Design of Tunnel Formwork:
They studied about the behaviour of tunnel formwork and have introduced an innovative product which have been designed
and improved constantly by connecting experience with engineering skills.
Mr. Dillip Chaudhary et.al (2020) : Study of Tunnel Formwork System & Comparative Analysis with conventional
Formwork: They studied on tunnel formwork system and comparative analysis with conventional formwork and also they
show the aim at focusing on the benefits and limitation of tunnel formwork in contrast to conventional formwork. Thus
changing the mindset of local construction industries that are still dependent on conventional formwork techniques.
Literature Summary
1. This method of construction is faster than conventional method i.e. one G+18 storey structure can be
completed in 7 months.
2. Although initial investment is higher for long terms tunnel formwork is 20% less economic than conventional
method.

Scope of Project Work
This formwork is limited as technique used is relatively new to Indian construction industry further study could
be done in following:-
1. As this technology is mainly aims for cost and slab cycle time of formwork system, one can focus on increase in
productivity by using advance techniques in formworks.
2. To build one floor in 7 days and a G+18 building in 7 months including the substructure.

The lateral load path is the way lateral loads (mainly due to wind
and earthquakes) are transferred through a building. Shear walls and
frames are the primary lateral-load resisting elements; however,
these members also carry gravity loads.
Shear walls receive lateral forces from diaphragms and transmit
them to the foundations. Foundations form the final link in the load
path is done by collecting the lateral forces from all storeys and
transmitting them to the ground.

STAIRCASE DESIGN
STEPS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN PROCESS:
Solution,
In this x direction, h=31.9m d=36.01m
Tx=0.09h/√d Where h= height of building , d= base dimension of building at
plinth level in m
=(0.09*31.9)/√(36.01)
=0.47 sec
So, condition 1/T for x direction
Tz=0.09h/√d (h=22.6m d=20.940)
Tz=0.47 sec, so the condition satisfy 1/T
Now, for x direction
Sa/g=2.12 where Sa/g is design

Importance factor(I)=1.2 (Building

Response reduction factor(R)=4
Now,
Ah= (Z/2 * Sa/g) / (R/I)
where Ah ((Design horizontal seismic coffiecent)
Ah=0.05
Ah=5%
Seismic weight (W)

Live load =3 KN/m
Floor finish load = 1 KN
Total seismic load on floor(W)= Wd.l+Wll
Vb= Ah*W where Ah ((Design horizontal seismic coffiecent)
Vb= Design base shear
DESIGN CALCULATION OF SLAB:
Given data: Assume,
fck =40 N/mm² effective cover (d') = 25mm.
Fy = 500 N/mm² So,
L.L = 4 kN/mm² Overall depth (D) = d+d'
F.F.L = 1.5 kN/m²
=200+25
Here,
D = 225mm
Check for one way & Two way slab.
Trial & error method:
Lx/ly= 8.9 /5.64 = 1.6
The required depth of slab is 86.5 mm but earlier, we provided 200mm which is
since, ly/lx < 2. So, the slab Can be design as Two way Stab. more.
Now, To make the structure economical, we can provide the depth of Slap (d) =165m
1) Calculate the depth of two way Slab. Overall depth(D) =d+d'
Lx/d =26 x M.F =165+ 25
For Continuers slab. D=180 mm
M.F. Modification factor
Assume, M.F =1.3 2) Load Calculation:
So, a) D.L = b*D*r
Lx/d =26*1.3 =1* 0.18 * 25
d = 5.64 /26x13 = 0.2m =4.5 kN/m
d= 200MM
(b) L. L= 4 * b kN/m ,b=1
= 4KN/M Now,
(C) F.F. L= 1. 5 * 6 kN/m For αn+
=1.5 KN/M The value of … depends Upon the support Condition and ly/lx ratio.
So,
The tunnel formwork technology and aluminium formwork was new method to
understand. Overall it provided an enhanced understanding of the outside working
environment before the student graduate. In our three month staying at the Revenue
Quarters(Site) we have acquire much knowledge in different tasks such as the various
formwork systems, Pile foundation, construction materials, Structural design, etc of the
building.
This training program is an excellent opportunity for us to get to the ground level
and experience the things that we would have never gained through going straight into a
job.
