第八版由北卡罗莱纳州立大学戴维·W·约翰斯顿（David W.Johnston）编写，是对该文件的一次重大修订，以更新《混凝土模板指南》（ACI 347R-14）修订内容包括参考当前的标准和实践，删除过时或不相关的材料，添加模板技术和实践的新发展内容，以及更新文件的外观和布局。本版本考虑了ACI 347R-14目前提供的更新侧向压力和其他规定。SP-4中对ASCE/SEI 7-10中专门规定的模板上的风荷载进行了扩展，并对其进行了ASCE/SEI 37-14的修改。模板设计分为两章，一章侧重于墙、板和柱模板构件的弯曲、剪切和挠度，另一章侧重于支撑和支撑构件。 桥梁模板注意事项已移至单独一章中。新增了一章，总结了ACI 347.3R-13《成型混凝土表面指南》的建议。第8版的优点包括:-一份ACI畅销文件-容许强度设计和荷载及阻力系数设计示例-更新至当前标准-课堂学习的章节问题-500张现代彩色照片-150张彩色插图-包括ACI 347R-14

The 8th Edition, authored by David W. Johnston, North Carolina State University, is a major revision of the document to bring it up-to-date with "Guide to Formwork for Concrete (ACI 347R-14)." Revisions include referencing current standards and practices, removing outdated or irrelevant material, adding content on new developments in formwork technology and practice, and updating the look and layout of the document.This edition considers the updated lateral pressure and other provisions now provided by ACI 347R-14. Expanded coverage is provided in SP-4 for wind loads on formwork specialized from ASCE/SEI 7-10 as modified by ASCE/SEI 37-14. The design of formwork has been divided into two chapters, one focusing on bending, shear, and deflection of wall, slab, and column formwork members, and a second focusing on shoring and bracing members. Bridge formwork considerations have been moved into a separate chapter. A new chapter summarizing the recommendations of ACI 347.3R-13, "Guide to Formed Concrete Surfaces," has been added.Benefits of the 8th Edition include:— An ACI best-selling document— Allowable strength design and load and resistance factor design examples— Updated to current standards— Chapter problems for classroom study— 500 modern color photographs— 150 color illustrations— Includes ACI 347R-14
