The definitive guide to formwork design, materials, and methods--fully updated
Formwork for Concrete Structures, Fourth Edition, provides current information on designing and building formwork and temporary structures during the construction process. Developed with the latest structural design recommendations by the National Design Specification (NDS 2005), the book covers recent advances in materials, money- and energy-saving strategies, safety guidelines, OSHA regulations, and dimensional tolerances. Up-to-date sample problems illustrate practical applications for calculating loads and stresses. This comprehensive manual also includes new summary tables and equations and a directory of suppliers.
Formwork for Concrete Structures, Fourth Edition, covers:
Economy of formwork
Pressure of concrete on formwork
Properties of form material
Form design
Shores and scaffolding
Failures of formwork
Forms for footings, walls, and columns
Forms for beams and floor slabs
Patented forms for concrete floor systems
Forms for thin-shell roof slabs
Forms for architectural concrete
Slipforms
Forms for concrete bridge decks
Flying deck forms
Robert L. Peurifoy taught civil engineering at the University of Texas and Texas A&I College, and construction engineering at Texas A&M University and Oklahoma State University. He served as a highway engineer for the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads and was the author of Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods and Estimating Construction Costs, Fifth Edition. Mr. Peurifoy was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, which presents an award in his name. Garold D. Oberlender, Ph.D., is Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at Oklahoma State University, where he was coordinator of the Graduate Program in Construction Engineering and Project Management. He has more than 40 years' experience as a consulting engineer, author, and professor.
