Abstract
This paper will present the results of an ongoing study to measure shoring loads during the construction of reinforced concrete buildings. The shoring loads are measured with an array of 3-axis strain-gage based load cells in the laboratory and at an actual construction site. Data are collected at sampling rates sufficiently fast to measure dynamic and impact-type events, in addition to pseudo-static loads that are experienced by the shoring during the cure cycle. The data will be used to develop and propose improved design loads and guidelines for shoring systems, formwork, and construction procedures. The applications of this research will lead to increased levels of safety as well as procedures for the instrumentation and performance modeling of buildings during construction.
