Abstract :
In Indonesia, although cost of formwork contributes significantly to the total reinforced concrete construction cost and formwork failure will result in a very complicated construction problem, formwork design is often neglected and left to the foreman to design. This paper presents slab formwork design practice in Romania, where formwork design is a requirement to obtain professional engineer certification. This paper is a continuation of previous paper ” Wall Formwork Design” by the same author published in Dimensi Teknik Sipil, Vol. 6, no. 2, September 2004.
