Question
The following figure shows the arrangement of formwork for casting a cantilever RC beam.
The correct sequence of removing the Shores/Props is
Correct answer
(B) S5 arrow S4 arrow S3 arrow S2 arrow S1
Solution
For a cantilever beam, the props should be removed starting from the free end and moving towards the fixed support. This ensures that the beam gradually takes up its own weight as a cantilever without inducing unexpected stresses or cracking. In the given figure, is at the free end and is closest to the fixed support (RC Column). Therefore, the correct sequence is .
