Two major changes in the construction industry demanded a more nuanced approach:
The challenge for engineers was finding a reliable mathematical model that balanced safety (preventing formwork failure) with economy (not over-designing the formwork). This is where CIRIA Report 108 stepped in.
For decades, has stood as the definitive industry standard for calculating these pressures. Published by the Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) in 1985, this document revolutionized formwork design by replacing overly conservative empirical formulas with a rational, multi-variable approach that accurately reflects real-world construction practices.
