This book provides technical descriptions of formwork systems that are used in concrete construction. It serves as a tool to assist contractors in selecting the optimal formwork system, and presents design criteria for conventional formwork for slabs and walls using the stress modification factors. > \nOffers 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 hand-set, crane-dependent and crane-independent systems. > 1. Concrete Formwork: An Introduction 2. Horizontal Formwork Systems: Hand-Set Systems 3. Slab Form Design 4.
