====== Appendix A: Cost Analysis ====== 

###
<fs medium>Use of fabric formwork for concrete columns, would result in savings for project owners, builders and contractors. Since in this study comparison was made between cardboard and fabric formwork, a cost evaluation was adapted from the industry to show the amount of savings when the two techniques are being employed [1]. This case study reviews cost analysis of column forms for a project in Aldergrove, BC. As seen in Table A1 and A2, the analysis compares the overall cost of a non-permeable commercially available column fabric formwork called Fast-Tube™ (Figure A1) to conventional cardboard formworks and Geotex 315ST used in this thesis. As seen in Table A2, comparing to cardboard formwork, cost analysis shows 72.2% reduction in cost for Fast-Tube™ and 89.8% for Geotex 315ST.</fs>
