Does anybody know where to get some info on the process involved in reinforced concrete, particularly the formwork involved, ie the framework of the formwork, steel, timber etc, how the ply panels are fixed to the steel frame, how ando’s thread bars work etc, a book perhaps, possibly a link to a website maybe, or ami pushing my luck?????
many thanksRIAI bookshop on Merrion Square is usually a good bet
Some of the proprietary systems have good websites:

Another commonly used system is Perri, but I can’t find their website. This one is a site in the UK that has used it:
http://www.gradonconstructionltd.co.uk/gradonweb-Pages/Image8.html Some good pictures of how it goers together.
Some specialist contractors doing it, these would have apresence in Ireland:

http://www.sgb.co.uk/If you have access to the Barbour, there is a raft of info there. The BRE have a good overview document – “Form work for efficient, modern construction”.
not a DIY task … don’t attempt by reading a manual –
