AS 3610.2 (Int):2023 Formwork for concrete, Part 2: Design and construction
Standards Australia
Supersedes: AS 3610 SUPP 2-1996 Formwork for concrete, Part 2: Design and construction
Supersedes: AS 3610-1995 Formwork for concrete
Draft Designation: DR AS 3610.2:2020The objective of this document is to provide architects, engineers, builders and construction contractors, and formwork designers, suppliers and contractors, with design information that will enable them to produce formwork that will adequately and safely support fluid concrete until it is self-supporting.
This document provides a design document to achieve the objectives of AS 3610.1 with regard to the quality of finish of formed concrete structures.
The major changes in this edition are as follows:
(a): Formwork actions have been substantially updated.
(b): A section specific to structural analysis methods for falsework has been added.
(c): A section for special formwork, such as single sided wall forms, jump/climb forms, and slip forms, has been added.
(d): The testing of formwork and its components has been expanded from the earlier versions of this document, with new Appendices detailing specific tests.
