Abstract

High shoring towers, the common shoring solution for high clearance construction, cause the entire formwork system to account for a remarkably high percentage of the cost of the constructed concrete element. However, data on work inputs in assembly and disassembly of high towers are scarce, and the reason lies in the difficulty in conducting the numerous work studies that would be needed to cover the wide variety of tower types offered by the market and the extensive range of heights to which towers are erected. A model is presented, based on a limited number of work studies, for the prediction of work inputs in the assembly and disassembly of shoring towers of two configurations, rising to heights of up to 30 m. Results of actual measured work input data for three tower models representing three tower types widely used on construction sites are presented. An insight is provided into the anatomy of tower erection, which should make possible use of the proposed methodology for the development of similar models for additional tower types.
