ACI 347.2R-05, published by the American Concrete Institute (ACI), provides technical guidance and design criteria for shoring and reshoring operations during the construction of reinforced and post-tensioned concrete multistory buildings. It covers construction loads, load distribution, formwork removal, and structural safety during construction.
The ACI 347.2R-05 Guide for Shoring/Reshoring of Concrete Multistory Buildings, published in 2005 by ACI Committee 347, provides engineering recommendations for temporary support systems used during concrete building construction. Key topics include: - Shoring and reshoring design requirements - Construction loads and load combinations - Load distribution between concrete floors - Early-age concrete strength development - Formwork removal and reshoring procedures - Structural adequacy of concrete slabs - Construction examples for reinforced and post-tensioned concrete buildings This guide serves as a technical reference for structural engineers, construction engineers, formwork designers, and contractors involved in temporary works and multistory concrete construction.
