Abstract The objective of this study is to examine the flexural behavior of the developed synthetic resin formwork and propose a simple model for their stiffness ( ) for straightforwardly determining a thickness of form to achieve the minimum requirements specified in KS F 5651. The deflection of the synthetic resin formworks was commonly greater than that of the euro form, indicating a lower flexural stiffness for the former than the latter. As a result, all synthetic resin formwork tested did not meet the deflection requirement of KS F 5651. The stiffness model was derived from strain compatibility, force equilibrium, and curvature distributions along the form length on the basis of the elasticity theorem, considering the tie-holes given in the form. The proposed model predicts accurately the slope of the load-displacement curve obtained from the foams under flexure. Using the proposed  model, design chart is developed for determining the thickness of formwork with different sizes and material properties.
