Formwork Design Handbook
The frequency of structural failure and the general risk of injury and death is much higher during construction than, later, during the service life of the completed permanent structure. Investigations into the causes of construction failure agree procedural inadequacies enable flaws in the design and/or construction to go undetected.
The purpose of the Formwork Handbook is to introduce and explain procedures, requirements and methods for the design and construction of formwork that minimise frequency of formwork failure and the general risk of injury and death. The Handbook provides guidance and examples that will be useful to architects, project managers, engineers, construction contractors, suppliers, manufacturers and students alike.
