Methods and apparatus for forming adjacent floor slabs and, in particular, adjacent floor slabs of cement or concrete are disclosed. One form of such apparatus provides formwork (1) for the edge of a slab (31). Said framework (1) comprising a base region (2) which has extending thereform an upstand (10), in forms of the invention said upstand being supported by braces. Extending from said upstand (10) is a capping region (4), said capping region (4), in preferred forms, is braced by a member (5). The capping region (4) is preferably removable after said slab (31) is sufficiently set to be self-supporting. The top (6) of the capping region (4) may provide a level for the screeding (30) of said slab (31). In preferred forms of the invention the formwork (1) provides support for force transmitting dowels (20). Said dowels (20) may be supported in apertures (9) through said formwork (1). Other forms of the invention in which said capping region (4) provides resilient nosings for the edge of said slabs (31) are also disclosed. |
