Design of Formwork System

The “Design of Formwork System” course is meticulously crafted to instill a profound understanding of formwork design and its significance in construction. The course comprises four modules: In Module 1, we will delve in to the design loads, concrete pressure on formwork, and relevant codes and standards. Module 2 provides a comprehensive overview of horizontal and vertical formwork design, necessary design calculations and safety checks. Module 3 facilitates the learners to explore on the importance of formwork drawings, preparation, detailing, BOQ calculation, and formwork visualization using BIM 3D.

Module 4 delves into overall formwork cost estimation, including material, labor and machinery costs, and cost optimization. Upon completing the “Design of Formwork System” course, learners will gain a profound understanding of formwork design and its significance in construction. They will be equipped to understand design fundamentals, design of horizontal and vertical formwork applications, excel in formwork drawings, formwork costing and enabling effective cost optimization aligned with formwork design. Target Learners: Undergraduate students of Civil & Structural Engineering Post-Graduate Students of Structural Engineering Practicing Engineers in Structural Design Faculties of Civil Engineering Domain
