Case study: aluminium falsework and formwork for a concrete slab

摘要

In this example, temporary works designers, temporary works co-ordinators and the structural engineers for the permanent works would all need to be involved.rnIn all falsework, there is a requirement that, to ensure stability, it should be designed to resist a minimum lateral (horizontal) load at the top. This includes the wind load on the formwork and associated falsework elements.rnIn practice, the required stability is achieved by strutting or tying the top of the falsework to the existing permanent structure at the level of the formwork (top -restrained) or otherwise by providing bracing through the height of the falsework structure to the supporting surface (free-standing).
