stay-in-place formwork

"Coffor" is a structural stay-in-place formwork system to build constructions in concrete.

The first patent for an insulated stay-in-place formwork for concrete was registered in the early 1940s using recycled waste wood and cement as the insulating material.

The main objective was to assess the suitability of prefabricated GFRP shells for stay-in-place formwork and confining reinforcement for columns.

He is also interested in innovative systems, including FRP structurally integrated stay-in-place formwork for concrete structures such as concrete-filled FRP tubes.
