Christian, J and Mir, S U (1987) Use of integrated microcomputer package for formwork design. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 113(4), pp. 603-610. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
Contemporary use of integrated package programs in construction management has centered on financial and accounting analyses. A method is described in this paper that uses an integrated package in the design and optimization of concrete formwork. The formwork design method consists of three modules, the input data, the data bank, and the calculations.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
