The modular steel form system is a faster, safer, and higher-quality alternative to conventional cast-in-place, precast, and masonry methods of core construction. Presented here are the system benefits related to low risk, safety, scheduling, cost, and ease of construction. Also discussed are the design and material responsibilities and considerations for the system manufacturer, specifying professionals, and contractors. Guidance is provided on loads, connections, and reinforcement, and the installation process is outlined.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Compare conventionally formed concrete walls to modular steel form systems, discussing risks related to tolerances, quality, and efficiency, as well as worker safety, erection procedures, and scheduling.
• Recall which aspects of the system design and installation are the responsibility of the manufacturer, the specifying professionals, and the contractors.
• Specify a modular steel form system to meet the project’s dimensional and loading requirements.
• Summarize the steps in the installation process that ensure a level and structurally sound core.
