This course aims to develop students’ ability to design simple formwork/falsework for reinforced concrete structure construction and carry out preliminary design for sheet pile cofferdam. The design of the course is also intended to foster students’ appreciation of the importance of good practice of design and construction of temporary works, as well as to help students integrate and apply knowledge gained from subject areas such as applied mechanics, construction technology, geotechnical and foundation engineering through design of temporary works for facilitating construction of permanent structures.
