This paper describes a study about improving formwork using permanent form made of extruded composite. The extruded cement composite panels have many advantages in productivity, strength and durability, but the fracture behaviour of the panel is brittle in general. A recently developed extruder can make mortar and rebar extrude simultaneously, which has the potential of improving brittleness and is expected to become a key to produce permanent form. Bending behaviours of composite panel manufactured by it were investigated. Also a simulation method for the bending behaviour was developed and the bending behaviour of a typical permanent form was predicted employing it. The simulated result tells that the composite of short fibre reinforced material and CFRP rebar have great potential for the material for permanent form.
