Design Forms for Concrete and Estimate Materials

Design Forms for Concrete and Estimate Materials includes four training courses:

Design Forms for a Concrete Wall

This training course addresses the principles of designing wooden forms for a concrete wall. One of a carpenter's most important concerns is to ensure that all wooden forms for concrete walls are designed for strength and durability. In this training course you will be taught how to select the proper materials and how to space these materials to gain the desired strength. As a carpenter, you must be able to construct these wall forms to support the concrete during placement and the initial set period.

Lessons:

- Math Review

- Select Materials for Wall Forms

- Complete the Design Procedure

Design Forms for a Concrete Column

This training course addresses the procedures used to design a wooden form for a concrete column. The primary purpose of a form is to support the concrete during its placement and initial set period. An engineer carpenter must understand the basic principles concerning the design of wall forms for concrete columns to ensure that they are designed for the necessary strength and durability.

Lessons:

- Forms Design

Design Forms for an Overhead Concrete Slab

In this training course you will learn to design forms for an overhead concrete slab.

Estimate Materials for a Wall Form

In this training course you will learn to estimate material for each of the five components needed to construct a wall form for concrete. You will estimate the amount of sheathing, the number of studs, the number of walls, the amount of bracing, and the amount of tie wire.
