This Course provides a comprehensive understanding of various formwork systems and their critical role in construction. It covers fundamental principles, classifications, benefits, and objectives of formwork, emphasizing strategic material selection and the use of essential accessories, consumables, and tools. The course explores formwork types for foundations, walls, columns, slabs, and beams, including both conventional and system formwork, and teaches interpretation of conventional formwork drawings. Practical aspects, such as components, assembly, and deshuttering techniques, are also addressed. Additionally, the course delves into specialized applications like tunnel formwork, high-rise construction formwork, and climbing systems, using real-world case studies to equip learners with practical knowledge and skills for diverse construction challenges.
