The objective of this course is to help engineers understand the structural design and construction of falsework and educate the engineer on designing and building safe systems that are economically efficient and within the project’s budget.

The importance of this course lies in the fact that there are very few references dealing with falsework systems that are used on almost every construction site worldwide.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the risks associated with falsework.
• Describe common causes and consequences of falsework accidents.
• Explain responsibility for the design, construction, and maintenance of falsework.
• Analyze a detailed case study of a falsework accident.
• Describe the falsework review process.
• Identify the criteria used in falsework design.
• Trace load paths used in falsework design.
• Apply step-by-step procedures in falsework design examples.
• Examine detailed case studies of falsework for existing buildings.
• Summarize best practices for falsework design and construction.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
