Formwork for Concrete has been written to serve a broad range of needs for information on formwork. For the experience designer or builder of formwork, it is a ready reference on material properties, design data, and construction suggestions. For the engineer-architect it adds guidance in relating details of the sturcture's design to the problems and possibilities of executing them in concrete. For the novice the book provides an introduction to many common formwork practices, explaining basic design principles and encouraging a rational rather than rule of thumb approach to formwork. -- book jacket.
