Formwork Set-Up Reference
Formwork Set-Up Reference
(OP)
Is there any really good reference out there on proper formwork set-ups for such things as walls, drain walls, etc. I find our contractors don't know squat about it - we get wavy tops as they are "finishing" down inside the formwork.

Now as to all the small details and logic, those things are hard to get out of a book, but alot of them are in there.
It's not too expensive as a base level reference. It won't make you a shoring contractor or an economical formwork designer, but it could be a good resource to try to share or at least give you justification when you question the practices.
Good luck,

There are usually no real problem leaving the forms on for very long time spans (weeks or months).
