Course formwork and falsework in building and work civilian

We can all recognize that there are many engineers or architects who are active on social media and in their own blogs, but if there is someone who stands out from the average to national level in Spain, is the Professor of the University Polytechnic of Valencia in the area of Engineering of the Construction, we are talking about Víctor Yepes Piqueras . In its different channels, we can test a technical quality about the high-level engineering and construction fields, and This is appreciated.

This time, its informative facet goes further. Just launch a course on construction of civil works and construction with formwork and falsework , which in addition to be totally free (It is a MOOC ), is endorsed and organized by the University Polytechnic of Valencia . So thank you!

Characteristics of the course

It is a course that does not require special knowledge and is designed to be useful to a wide range of professionals with or without experience, students of any branch of the construction, vocational training or either university.

The learning of the course has been staggered so that the The user can delve into those aspects that are most convenient for them. of interest through complementary documentation and links to catalogues, Internet videos, etc.

In this course you will learn the different applicability and formwork typologies and forming used in building, works civil engineering and in the precast industry. HE index especially in the understanding of concrete thrust fresco on the formworks, the striking, formwork and stripping or in aspects related to the safety in formwork works.

The bending and lowering of plants is studied in detail successive constructions and the formworks and falsework used in bridges, structures in height, tunnels, buildings , among others: telescopic, sliding, climbing formwork, tunnel formwork, self-launching falsework, self-supporting falsework, etc. .

We remember three articles of interest:

• The scaffold and types of scaffolding with their features
• Machinery on site and construction
• Signage of works and informative posters of risks (Downloadable)

The course content is organized based on 4 modules , each one, with 4 learning sequences that allow, with a dedication of less than one hour a day, to learn the basic aspects of formwork and falsework . Each week a module will be worked on, the course having a Estimated duration of one month.

Learning objectives

1. Understand the limitations and usefulness of auxiliary structures (formwork and falsework) in the construction of civil works and building.
2. Select and evaluate the best formwork type and necessary formwork for a construction in conditions determined, considering the safety and economy.
