Furthermore, a simple modification of the popular simplified method for calculating the load distribution during construction is presented. A simplified procedure to include the construction live load in the analysis of construction loads is proposed. Extensive numerical studies of the distribution of construction loads between multistory framed structures and the shoring and reshoring systems are made, using the computer models developed. A practical method to check the slab adequacy during construction is presented. Herein, realistic models of the structure in the construction phase are developed. Consequently, determination of load distribution during construction is one of the critical factors in assessing the structural safety during the construction of reinforced concrete structures.
Also, a great deal of damage and loss of property during construction are caused by wind. The most serious deficiency in formwork design is in the consideration of lateral loads. Many, perhaps most, construction disasters occur as a result of the failure of temporary structures, and far more disasters occur during construction than after completion of projects.
The most critical stage of a structure's lifetime is that of construction. Khalid Homoud Mosallam, Purdue University Construction loads and load effects in concrete building construction
