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.
