| Summary: | The construction cost and duration of erecting a tall building are significantly reliant on the chosen formwork system,
among the various systems in use. The selection of an appropriate formwork system requires specialized expertise and opinions
from experienced professionals in the field to offer economically efficient solutions for stakeholders. In this study, the Fuzzy
Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method was applied to assess formwork alternatives based on identified criteria derived
from the outcomes of primary factors from the previous Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) stage. Fuzzy theory was employed to
construct pairwise comparison matrices for criteria related to material selection in formwork, using the Analytical Hierarchy
Process (AHP) method. The research emphasizes the paramount impact of the initial investment cost on formwork selection and
designates plastic formwork as the optimal solution based on expert evaluations. The findings aim to augment managerial
understanding of formwork systems, advocating for the integration of decision support tools in high-rise construction projects to
enhance planning precision and select of suitable formwork systems tailored to specific projects. |
