stairs, balconies and special architectural features.
The structures are more resistant to earthquakes than the
traditional RCC column and beam designs.
4. Convenient &
Effective
It can complete
assembly by manual
without any machines
assistance Low Carbon
Emission
Some developed
countries have
already stipulated
that cannot apply
wooden formwork
The set of
formwork can be
used more than
300 times in a low
average use-cost.
Good stability
with high
bearing capacity
