The Importance of Accurate Concrete Shoring

A safety factor refers to product strength expressed in terms of ratio. Concrete formwork has a safety factor of two to one. This means that it is twice as strong as it has to be to work effectively. The purpose of the safety factor is to protect against any unexpected events that may occur on a dangerous job site.

Concrete shoring loads may increase because of multiple spans of strongbacks, stringers, joists, and walers. The safety factor for concrete shoring frames accounts for unforeseen events such as human error. It is important to note that shoring frames are not intended to be used as design tools.
