TL;DR: In this paper, a study of 85 major falsework collapses of bridges and buildings in the past 23 years has documented the types of collapsed falseworks and failed permanent structures, the construction stages at the time of collapse, and the causes of failures.
Abstract: A study of 85 major falsework collapses of bridges and buildings in the past 23 yrs has documented the types of collapsed falseworks and failed permanent structures, the construction stages at the time of collapse, and the causes of failures. Three causes of failure were identified: triggering; enabling; and procedural causes. Most failures occurred because of the interaction of the triggering and enabling events that were, in many cases, produced by inadequacies in the procedural methods. Impact forces resulting from concreting operations have repeatedly triggered falsework failures that were enabled by deficiencies in the falsework bracings, components, connections, foundations, and design. Inadequate review of falsework design and monitoring procedures were frequent problems that facilitated the occurrernce of these events. The findings emphasize the importance of proper delineation of responsibility of each party in the building process in order to reduce falsework failures in the future.

TL;DR: The hybrid approach results in an ultra-lightweight formwork that is easily transportable and significantly reduces the need for falsework support and scaffolding, which has many advantages on the construction site.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the research conducted throughout the last forty years into scaffold and falsework structures, and suggest that the majority of failures occur due to inadequate site supervision and poor design.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of impact and vibration during concrete pouring have often triggered the failures of falsework during construction processes, and several design and construction deficiencies which existed in the components of temporary structures enabled the failures.
