About this listen

 A comprehensive instructional guide for construction professionals regarding the crucial temporary structures used to support and mold fresh concrete. The material is logically organized, dedicating extensive chapters to both horizontal formwork systems for slabs and vertical formwork systems for columns and walls. Systems are categorized based on their method of erection, ranging from hand-set conventional wood forms to high-speed, high-rise options like crane-set flying forms and crane-independent slipforms. Additionally, the book includes technical engineering chapters detailing the proper selection and mechanical properties required for slab form design, using lumber and plywood tables, load calculations, and deflection formulas. Finally, the text provides critical context for the construction industry by outlining the factors affecting the selection of the optimal formwork system, prioritizing economy, site conditions, and building characteristics.
