buildingconstruction is for the formwork (ACI 347 report). The collapse of a temporary structure duringconstruction involves a high risk of serious injuries, deaths and substantial property loss. A clearunderstanding of the design and construction of temporary structures is a critical function notonly for the designers but also for developers, contractors, suppliers of construction equipment,inspectors and all users of temporary structures. These temporary structures may pose substantialchallenges for the contractors since the projects design professionals rarely mention them in theproject documents. The lack of clear design, plan and specifications for these structures leaves alarge number of choices open to the contractor. Since no typical plan and
