Part 1: An introduction to temporary works for the structural engineer

摘要

The practice of temporary works is to consider the means by which a structure is transformed from one permanent condition to another. This can be from a green field to a finished building, from a completed structure to a brown field, or from one finished condition to another. The basis of the practice is to design a process that enables the transition between these states, and often several intermediate conditions, without overloading the permanent/retained structure. There are, however, many elements to consider throughout the process that have an impact on the range of solutions that are practical.
