This document serves a broad range of information needs with the objective of improving quality, safety, and economy in all types of formwork. For the experienced designer or builder of formwork, it is a ready reference on material properties, design data, and construction suggestions. For the architect or engineer, it adds guidance relating to structural design details and the problems and possibilities of executing them in formwork. For the novice, the book explains basic design principles and provides an introduction to many common formwork practices. This edition includes new material on single-sided wall forms, insulating concrete forms, pressure formulas with coefficients for differing weights and mix chemistries, inflated forming methods, and expanded text on multistory shoring systems. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. General Objectives in Formwork Building How Formwork affects concrete quality Causes of failures Planning forsSafety Relationship of architect, engineer, and contractor Measurement and payment for formwork How the architect-engineer can reduce form costs References 3. Overall Planning Development of a basic system Key areas of cost reduction Planning for maximum reuse Economical form construction Setting and stripping Other costs affected by formwork plan Planning examples 4. Materials, Accessories, Proprietary Products Lumber Engineered wood products Plywood Other framing and facing materials Insulation and insulating forms Hardware and fasteners Prefabricated forms Shoring and scaffolding References 5. Loads and Pressures Vertical loads Lateral pressure of fresh concrete Lateral loads Other loads References 6.
