description This paper describes and discusses the results of designing and implementing a steel formwork for casting and testing concrete slab specimens with different sizes. The formwork saves space, materials and costs due to the different configurations it may adopt, which allow, for instance, casting slabs with different sizes. The formwork avoids purchasing a greater number of formworks of particular dimensions, which increases costs and the space needed for storage. The formwork performance was assessed through the analysis of numerical results (strain and stress) obtained from simulations using finite element software. Performance was also verified during construction and testing of concrete slab specimens, reinforced with welded-wire meshes or steel fibers. The novel steel formwork herein presented and discussed is currently a patent pending in the Colombian Office of Industry and Commerce.

Se describen y discuten los resultados del diseño y la implementación de una formaleta de acero para fundir y ensayar especímenes de losas de concreto con diferente geometría. La formaleta permite ahorrar espacio, materiales y costo, debido a sus diferentes posibles configuraciones; por ejemplo, permite fundir losas de diferentes tamaños. La formaleta evita adquirir otras con dimensiones específicas, lo cual implica mayores costos y mayor espacio para almacenamiento. La evaluación del desempeño de la formaleta se llevó a cabo a partir del análisis de resultados numéricos (deformación y esfuerzo) obtenidos de simulaciones con software de elementos finitos. El desempeño también se verificó durante la construcción y ensayo de especímenes de losas de concreto reforzadas con mallas electro-soldadas o fibras de acero. El nuevo molde en acero aquí presentado y discutido está actualmente en proceso de patente en la Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio de Colombia.
