The course will include a discussion of the materials and their properties used in formwork design and construction as well as passive reinforcement methods such as reinforcing steel, and active methods of reinforcement such as prestressing.
Formwork and reinforcing are two items that play a critical role in the design and construction of temporary structures needed to construct any concrete element. Proper formwork selection, design, and execution will be explored, along with the principle and theories behind concrete reinforcing. The use of steel reinforcing will be examined in concrete buildings, bridge structures, and containment vessels.
The increasing use of prestressed reinforcement will be examined, including precast, pretension elements, and site-cast post-tensioned elements. Proper detailing of formwork and reinforcing will be covered, along with safe execution techniques. This course will also explore the emerging trends in concrete formwork and reinforcing that have resulted in improved economies of scale, faster construction cycles, and taller structures.
