| <fs medium>Geotextiles, while providing the requisite flexibility have limitations that a fabric formwork, used for everyday cast-in-place (CIP) work or precast panels requiring repeatability, must overcome. Fabrics which lend themselves to forming complex shapes and repeated use without loss of strength will be key to an economical system therefore the development of new fabrics, with improved properties over those of geotextile fabrics should be investigated.</fs> | <fs medium>Geotextiles, while providing the requisite flexibility have limitations that a fabric formwork, used for everyday cast-in-place (CIP) work or precast panels requiring repeatability, must overcome.

| <fs medium>Concrete mix designs will also need investigating. As suggested by **[[fabwiki:research:canada:delijani:chapter_6|Delijani]]** the effects of bleeding on plasticized concrete should be studied. Admixtures effects and finding that optimum W/C ratio will provide another avenue for research. The use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC), also known as self-compacting concrete is a highly flowable non-segregating concrete that spreads into place and its use should be investigated. As we're all trying to make this earth "greener" the use of fly-ash as a cement replacement can use more research work as to how its use affects the quality and finish of fabric-formed members - Delijani has done some with his research work.</fs> | <fs medium>Concrete mix designs will also need investigating.
