When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

The "Design of Formwork System" course is meticulously crafted to instill a profound understanding of formwork design and its significance in construction. The course comprises four modules: In Module 1, we will delve in to the design loads, concrete pressure on formwork, and relevant codes and standards. Module 2 provides a comprehensive overview of horizontal and vertical formwork design, necessary design calculations and safety checks. Module 3 facilitates the learners to explore on the importance of formwork drawings, preparation, detailing, BOQ calculation, and formwork visualization using BIM 3D. Module 4 delves into overall formwork cost estimation, including material, labor and machinery costs, and cost optimization.

Upon completing the "Design of Formwork System" course, learners will gain a profound understanding of formwork design and its significance in construction. They will be equipped to understand design fundamentals, design of horizontal and vertical formwork applications, excel in formwork drawings, formwork costing and enabling effective cost optimization aligned with formwork design. Target Learners: Undergraduate students of Civil & Structural Engineering Post-Graduate Students of Structural Engineering Practicing Engineers in Structural Design Faculties of Civil Engineering Domain
