Abstract
Explains the procedural and technical aspects of the formwork, falsework and striking operations for constructing fiat slab in situ concrete buildings. New principles for early striking of flat slabs are introduced, together with recommended methods of assessing concrete strength. Four methods of assessing backpropping loads are presented to help designers and constructors to plan efficient construction schemes. Other topics covered include temporary works management, approvals, guidance on applying the CDM Regulations, design, loading slabs above their design load, edge protection, working platforms, temporary cladding, enclosures and other construction details.
History
To be read in conjunction with the Manual for Excel spreadsheet for the calculation of loads in backpropping and supporting slabs. Published by the Concrete Society on behalf of CONSTUCT Concrete Structures Group.
