Beginning with a review of statistics, it presents the core topics needed to fully comprehend the design of temporary structures: strength of materials; types of loads on temporary structures; scaffolding design; soil properties and soil loading; soldier beam, lagging, and tiebacks; sheet piling and strutting; pressure and forces on formwork and falsework; concrete formwork design; falsework; bracing and guying; trestles and equipment bridges; and the support of existing structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemporary structures during construction include scaffolding, formwork, shoring, ramps, platforms, earth-retaining structures, and other construction structures that are not part of the permanent installation. These structures are less regulated and monitored than most other parts of the construction process, even though they are often supporting tons of steel or concrete—and the safety of all workers on the site depends on these structures to perform as designed. Unfortunately, most tragic failures occur during construction and are usually the result of improperly designed, constructed, and\/or maintained temporary structures. \u003ci\u003eTemporary Structure Design\u003c\/i\u003e fills an important need in the literature by providing a trusted, comprehensive guide to designing temporary construction structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eServes as the first book to provide a design-oriented approach to the design of temporary structures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes coverage of the various safety considerations inherent in temporary structure design and construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides information on estimating cost and schedules for these specialized structures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers formwork and falsework, as well as personnel protection, production support, environmental protection, and foundational structures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you're a student or a professional working in the field of construction or structural engineering, \u003ci\u003eTemporary Structure Design\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have resource you'll turn to again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WILEY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025450418416,"sku":"9781118905586","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118905586_p0.jpg?v=1769889938","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118905586","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
