Mid-colloquium Lars Timmermans

In the world of scaffolding, many structural subjects are still not well understood or even unknown. One of these subjects is the stiffness of the formwork diapghragm used to horizontally support the scaffolding during pouring and drying of the concrete. To gather insight in the behaviour of this formwork diaphragm, this graduation thesis contains experimental and numerical research under the title:
"Experimental and numerical investigation on the in-plane elastic stiffness of formwork diaphragms"
