A comprehensive guide to temporary structures in constructionprojects
Temporary Structure Design is the first book of its kind,presenting students and professionals with authoritative coverageof the major concepts in designing temporary constructionstructures. Beginning with a review of statistics, it presents thecore topics needed to fully comprehend the design of temporarystructures: strength of materials; types of loads on temporarystructures; scaffolding design; soil properties and soil loading;soldier beam, lagging, and tiebacks; sheet piling and strutting;pressure and forces on formwork and falsework; concrete formworkdesign; falsework; bracing and guying; trestles and equipmentbridges; and the support of existing structures.
Temporary structures during construction include scaffolding,formwork, shoring, ramps, platforms, earth-retaining structures,and other construction structures that are not part of thepermanent installation. These structures are less regulated andmonitored than most other parts of the construction process, eventhough they are often supporting tons of steel orconcrete--and the safety of all workers on the site depends onthese structures to perform as designed. Unfortunately, most tragicfailures occur during construction and are usually the result ofimproperly designed, constructed, and/or maintained temporarystructures. Temporary Structure Design fills an importantneed in the literature by providing a trusted, comprehensive guideto designing temporary construction structures.
* Serves as the first book to provide a design-oriented approachto the design of temporary structures
* Includes coverage of the various safety considerations inherentin temporary structure design and construction
* Provides information on estimating cost and schedules for thesespecialized structures
* Covers formwork and falsework, as well as personnel protection,production support, environmental protection, and foundationalstructures
If you're a student or a professional working in the field ofconstruction or structural engineering, Temporary StructureDesign is a must-have resource you'll turn to again andagain.
