The 8th Edition, authored by David W. Johnston, North Carolina State University, is a major revision of the document to bring it up-to-date with "Guide to Formwork for Concrete (ACI 347R-14)." Revisions include referencing current standards and practices, removing outdated or...
This Standard provides rules and requirements for the design, fabrication, erection, and use of concrete formwork which provide temporary lateral support or containment of freshly placed concrete for buildings and other structures during fbeir construction, alteration, or repair. It is...
This guide covers: a) A listing of information to be included in the contract documents b) Design criteria for horizontal and vertical loads on formwork c) Design considerations, including safety factors for determining the capacities of formwork accessories d) Preparation of...
To optimise formwork costs and minimise the time for its construction, the contractor needs to understand the guiding principles of safe and efficient formwork construction. He must also have some insight into the relative merits of the various methods, and should appreciate the...
This CD-ROM contains 14 papers sponsored by ACI Committees 347, 350, 364, and 437. The papers represent a broad range of topics including; concrete mix design, design and construction, construction failures, formwork in concrete design, and more
INTRODUCTION The scope of this guide is to solve a lack of uniformity in the appearance criteria of concrete surfaces, provide definitions for the various levels of formed concrete surfaces, and give objective evaluations of them. Although there are various reference sources for constructing and...
Defines terms relating to formwork for concrete.
Offers insights on currently-used concrete formwork structures, from classification, system components and materials' properties to selection and construction requirements and procedures, while considering product quality, labour, safety and economic factors throughout. The text details...
CATS Abstract: The ACI Collection of Concrete Codes, Specifications, and Practices is the most comprehensive concrete reference set available. It contains all of the widely used ACI concrete and masonry code requirements, specifications, guides and reports. - The largest, single...
Although the aforementioned documents provide basic guidelines for general formwork operations, there are no codes or standards that provide detailed design and construction requirements specifically for shoring/reshoring operations for multistory reinforced and post-tensioned concrete...

This Standard provides rules and requirements for the design, fabrication, erection, inspection, testing, maintenance, and use of falsework and formwork materials, components, and systems where they are erected to provide temporary vertical and lateral support or containment of freshly...
Modern formwork systems are designed for speed and efficiency. This publication describes generic types of formwork system that are widely available. It considers their applications, advantages and main features related to health and safety and sustainability performance. They are...
The ACI MANUAL OF CONCRETE PRACTICE (MCP) is the most comprehensive concrete reference set available. It contains all of the widely used ACI concrete and masonry code requirements, specifications, guides and reports. The largest, single source of concrete information in one set of...
This standard is intended to be used to determine the fresh concrete pressure on vertical formwork by concrete according to DIN EN 206-1 and DIN 1045-2, and by self-compacting concrete (SCC) according to DAfStb-Richtlinie "Selbstverdichtender
INTRODUCTION High-strength concrete (HSC) has advantages over normal-strength concrete (NSC), especially for columns of high-rise buildings, as it reduces column sizes and increases the durability of concrete (Smith and Rad 1989). Moreover, HSC can be advantageous with regard to lateral stiffness...
