F ormwork has a major impact on the quality, cost and time to build concrete structures. In addition, its sound design and construction is essential to ensure safety during construction. Unfortunately, in Australia there is little or no up-to date guidance on formwork planning, design and construction. Regrettably, there has also been some significant formwork failures and loss of life. Currently, the requirements for formwork design and testing, set out in Section 4 and Appendix A of AS 3610-1995, were developed in the late 1980s. Although all the other information in AS 3610-1995 has been updated and superseded by AS 3610.1-2010, there are no plans to update the requirements for design and testing in the foreseeable future. Exasperating this situation, the construction industry has seen significant change and advancements since AS 3610 was first published e focus of this series of seminars is to provide the industry with up to date guidance on formwork planning, design and construction. Much of the information presented will be published by the Concrete Institute of Australia in a Formwork Handbook and a pre-publication draſt of the Formwork Handbook will be provided to attendees. e speakers will present both the theory and real-world examples of the topics covered.
