Design Requirements
- Buildings and their structural members and connections, including formwork and falsework, shall be designed to have sufficient structural capacity and structural integrity to safely and effectively resist all loads, effects of loads and influences that may reasonably be expected, having regard to the expected service life of buildings, and shall in any case satisfy the requirements of this Section. (See Note A-4.1.1.3.(1).)
- Buildings and their structural members shall be designed for serviceability, in accordance with Articles 4.1.3.4., 4.1.3.5. and 4.1.3.6. (See Note A-4.1.1.3.(2).)
- All permanent and temporary structural members, including the formwork and falsework of a building, shall be protected against loads exceeding the specified loads during the construction period except when, as verified by analysis or test, temporary overloading of a structural member would result in no impairment of that member or any other member.
- Falsework, scaffolding, and formwork shall be designed in conformance with
- CSA S269.1, "Falsework for Construction Purposes,"
- CSA S269.2, "Access Scaffolding for Construction Purposes," or
- CAN/CSA-S269.3-M, "Concrete Formwork."
- Precautions shall be taken during all phases of construction to ensure that the building is not damaged or distorted due to loads applied during construction.
