Abstract: The complexity of special-shaped structure and the forming effect of fair-faced concrete put forward higher requirements for the selection of formwork. This paper makes a detailed study on the selection of special-shaped concrete formwork by expert scoring and analytic hierarchy process. Through reviewing the literatures at home and abroad, the factors of the criterion layer and scheme layer under the target layer are obtained, and the AHP model of this type of template selection is established. Finally, taking the special-shaped fair-faced concrete diving platform with curved surface as an example, the decision-making model of the diving platform formwork selection is constructed based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and then the optimal solution of the model is found out, which provides valuable experience for the formwork selection of special-shaped fair-faced concrete structure, and also provides some method guidance for the formwork selection of special-shaped fair-faced concrete members.
