(d) trusses;
(e) members so connected to one another that a
load applied to one member of it may alter or induce
stresses in the other members; or
(f) shores more than 10 feet in height,
the falsework ยท shall be designed by a professional
engineer in accordance with good engineering practice
to withstand all loads likely to be applied to the falsework before, during and after the placing of the concrete and it shall be constructed in accordance with
the design of the professional engineer.
The following sub-section states that the drawings of
the falsework shall:
(a) show the size and specifications of the falsework
including the type and grade of all materials to be
used in the construction of the falsework;
(b) bear the signature and seal of the professional
engineer referred to in sub-section 4; and
44
(c) be kept at the project at all times.
The corresponding requirement under the Accident
Prevention Regulations for British Columbia require
under S 34.28 that designs for falsework etc. shall:
(a) specify the size, type, grade and location of all
components and the loads which the structure is
intended to withstand;
(b) bear the signature of a registered professional
engineer or other person acceptable to the Board,
when the concrete structure is ten feet or more in
height;
(c) be kept on the job site while the temporary
supporting structure is under construction or use.
We believe that these various regulations include elements that might with advantage be imported and
have kept them in mind when framing our own
recommendations.
