Question

Design forms to support a flat slab floor 10 in. thick of normal weight concrete using construction grade Spruce-Pine-Fir forming members and steel shoring. Ceiling height is 10 ft. and bays are 10 ft x 10 ft. Since forms will have continuing reuse, do not adjust base design values for short term load. Assume ¾ inch Plyform Class 1.

Part 1. Estimate the Design Loads

Part 2. Determine (appropriate) Joist Spacing

Part 3. Determine Joist Size and (appropriate) Stringer Spacing

Part 4. Determine Stringer Size and (appropriate) Shore Spacing

Part 5. Determine Load on the Shores Part 6. Draw a Sketch Detailing the Design
