RAPID Horizontal Formwork

Product description

The RAPID recoverable modular formwork system is used in reinforced concrete slabs , lost pile grid slabs, joist and vaults slabs, hanging beams, etc.

Continual formwork assures the safety of the workers both while assembling the plywood and while putting up the joist and vaults.

Assembly can be executed without the need to use any tools other than a hammer.

There are two types of main beams; therefore it has two variants of the system: RAPID 1 m and

RAPID 0.67 m.

System elements are very durable, due to the system design and the robust materials of which it is manufactured with surface finishes coated in epoxy paint.

The main beams used together with the props or shoring towers, comprise the Remaining

Structure of the RAPID system, while all other elements constitute the Recoverable Materials.

After concrete is poured, the recoverable materials (boards, secondary beams and recoverable heads) can be recuperated within 3 days to be reused.

Installing board with nets under slab avoid any fall at different levels.

It is not necessary to reprop the shoring or to move the props from the time the structure is assembled until it is completely dismantled.

Open grids, with a standard opening of 2 m, achieve highly efficient assembly processes and leave enough space through which vehicles and mobile towers can pass.

Flexible system

• Can be adapted to different geometrical shapes with varying grid dimensions, using different dimensions of main beams and changing the direction of the grid.

• To infill against columns and walls.

• To provide solutions in perimeter areas with the cantilever running in the direction of the secondary beam and with the main beam running lengthwise.

• Few props per m 2 ; can easily be reinforced to permit pouring thick slabs by either reducing the width of the grids or by incorporating more props.

• Structure can be shored with props or shoring towers.

• The whole steel structure can be assembled on one side, and the plywood can then be put up by the same or different work crews.

Safe system

• Easy to incorporate handrail protection around the perimeter and holes.

• Board installation can be safely executed from mobile towers positioned in the open grids, from above after having hung nets under the formwork or with workers tied off to lifelines between columns.

• Board is installed between the main beams and the secondary beam tabs, which lock it in place impeding its movement without the need to nail it down.

System components

The main components of the system are:

Main beam Secondary beam

Recoverable head Board

6

The first three elements are used to form the steel structure, and the board is installed on top of the structure, serving as the base of the formwork.

The heads, secondary beams and board make up the recoverable structure of the system, designed so that in less than 72 hours after pouring the concrete, the plywood can be reused.

The design of edge secondary beams, where support the boards, prevents them slipping.

Formwork can be shored with any type of prop in our product range, as well as with the G Shoring, depending on the height and load required.

The main beams, together with the prop or shoring, comprise the remaining structure of the RAPID system.

By replacing only the main beams with support beams, the same components can be used for the construction of hanging beams, which are frequently used in slabs or beams free from mixed slabs (poured on site + prefabricated). G Shoring is used for shoring, and the cross brace is selected as a function of beam thickness and weight.

Construcción

BOARD

The board commonly used to form the RAPID system's shuttering face is the 3 layer plywood. Users can choose between TRIMAX and TRI qualities.

Trimax

TRIMAX is a high quality 3 layer plywood comprising three layers of spruce wood in which the outside layers run lengthwise while the inside layer runs crosswise.

Available manufactured thicknesses: 21 and 27 mm.

TRIMAX is resistant to boiling water and atmospheric conditions. It is bonded with an AW 100 type bond in accordance with ÖNORM B3023. The outside surface is coated with 130 g/m 2 synthetic yellow melamine resin coating, and the edges are sealed.

The inside sheets are bonded over their whole surface, sanded and calibrated, thus assuring uniform thickness for all TRIMAX sheets.

Due to its high quality it has a high durability.

Tri

TRI is a 3 layer plywood comprising three layers of select softwoods (spruce or pine) in which the outside layers run lengthwise while the inside layer runs crosswise.

The sheet is bonded with an AW100 type bond in accordance with ÖNORM B3023.

Available manufactured thicknesses: 21 and 27 mm.

The outside surface is coated with 120 g/m 2 synthetic yellow melamine resin coating, and the edges are sealed.

SP PROP

The SP Prop has been designed for shoring horizontal formwork systems, and other shoring requirements that may arise on construction site. It is known for its special design, which permits regulating and securing at specific heights thus permitting a fast approximation of the height of the element to be shored. A threaded nut is used to make the fine adjustment. The epoxy resin coating techniques give it an effective anti-rust protective coating.

There are five types of props available in the SP range of props:

• Normal Prop

• Strong Prop

• SP-34 Prop

• SP-40 Prop

• SP-50 Prop

Customers can select the most appropriate of these props for each need based on the load and height requirements.

For making the proper selection, the working loads (kN) charts are attached.

RAPID Horizontal Formwork

G SHORING

The G Shoring system is used to support horizontal formwork when that formwork exceeds the maximum height that can be reached by the props.

The system structure basically comprises its frame.

These frame elements are assembled one on top of another until reaching the desired height, using the different frame heights in combination with the base jacks.

This shoring system has different heads that facilitate shoring the main beams or the support beams as necessary.

10

The following working loads are provided to guide the user, always taking into consideration that the shoring has been properly assembled following the assembly instructions:

• Linked towers, built using Frames

G-100 1.85 m, braced with crossbraces and with jacks extended to a maximum of 65 cm (H: total height of the shoring):

0<H 10 m … Working load per leg:

20 kN

• Independent towers, built using

Frames G-100 1.85 m and with jacks extended to a maximum of 65 cm:

Working load per leg: 12 kN

For further information, see the

G Shoring Catalogue

Heights greater than 10 m require more exhaustive technical study.

2 Tie the first Main beam around a column so that the system is stable from the beginning of its assembly.

Lift the Main beam along with its corresponding heads, with 2 props and tie the Main beam to the column.

3 Hang the Secondary beams from the main beams. Then, parallel to the first main beam, assemble another main beam supported on 2 props.

In mobile scaffolding towers, work with the brake on and do not move when the operator is on top of them.

Construcción

13

RAPID Horizontal Formwork

4 Once the secondary beams are assembled, those secondary beams that interfere with columns, and that cannot be assembled on the corresponding recoverable heads, are supported on auxiliary heads and props.

5 Install the board in the column area to stabilize the structure.

14

Install the 3-layer plywood from a mobile scaffolding tower or from a work tower.

If that is not possible, execute this operation from the top of the formwork structure, but the operator must always be tied off to a lifeline to avoid falling, or nets under the formwork have to be used.

Construcción

6 Then continue assembling the main beams, assembling the window on the end of one beam with the tabs on the head of the other beam helped by a prop.

Disassembly instructions

RAPID formwork recovery or dismantling is carried out in two phases.

In phase one, the third day after pouring the slab, dismantle the recoverable material (heads, secondary beams, 3 layer plywood). The main beams along with the props or shoring should remain supporting the slab.

In phase two (at 21 days, 28 days or at the time required in accordance with the technical specifications provided specifically for the structure's slab and in the execution timeframes for the structure), remove the Main beams that were supported with the props or shoring system.

1 From the ground or from a mobile tower, release the heads along one row of main beams. Strike the wedge on each head with a hammer to free it up from the position where it is tied to the lug on the main beams.

24

2 The secondary beams are freed up once they are unhung from the recoverable heads.

The recoverable material (heads, secondary beams and boards) can be removed without letting it fall to the ground by first placing a net below the material recovery area.

Construcción

3 Then using a crow bar, strip the boards.

4 After the necessary time has passed, proceed to recover the main beams along with the props or shoring used.

Organization is an essential factor for safety.

When moving materials from one construction site to another, the materials should always be transported on duly strapped pallets to assure that the materials do not fall.

The Starting main beam and the Transversal fixation accessories allow starting the assembly from the wall in a safe way, without any infilling.

There are two possible assemblies:

MAIN BEAM PARALLEL TO THE WALL

With the Transversal fixation it is possible to assemble the main beam under the secondary beams, putting up the 3 layer plywood and the secondary beams against the wall. Likewise, it makes the system more stable because it's fitted between the main beam and the secondary beam opening.

Safety elements

The main purpose of the RAPID Formwork safety elements is to protect the perimeter of the formwork and any holes that are considered to pose a risk of falling to the workers when forming, reinforcing and pouring concrete. These safety elements include Safety heads,

Safety handrail posts, Handrail tubes and Toe boards.

This equipment comprises the protective elements used to mark off and delimit the base or work surface.

The suitable distance to install the Safety heads is 2 m. The Safety heads permit standard assembly of the Secondary beams, and they permit installing the Safety handrail post.

NETS UNDER FORMWORK

Nets under formwork are the most effective solution to prevent falls during the assembly of the board.

That way it fulfills the European Directive 92/57/EEC, which gives priority to collective protections against the individual ones.

Because of its versatility, RAPID System has a hook that can be fixed in the formwork and in the props.

System features

There are two variants of the RAPID System according to the type of the Main beam:

• RAPID 0.67 m

• RAPID 1 m

RAPID 0.67 m

The system can be applied to any type of work because of its flexibility and strength. With this variant of the RAPID both props such as secondary beams are assembled every 67 cm. Sockets, to enter the props have Ø 32 mm.

RAPID 1 m

RAPID 1 m can save up to 25% of the cost of material, particularly in the implementation of reduced thickness slabs or lightened ones. By locating the secondary beams each 1 meter, the props can be arranged to coincide with the interval (B layout) or every 0.5 m (A + B layout), it is possible to use lighter props and therefore cheaper ones. The sockets are different for each layout to facilitate the proper assembly: one round, 25 mm diameter socket (B layout) and one square, 20 mm socket (A layout).

36

Both systems are compatible and share the same accessories.

USING THE RELEASE AGENT

Release agent is used to keep concrete from sticking to the formwork, thus increasing number of times formwork can be used.

The release agent plays an important role in assuring the quality of the concrete surface. It serves the purpose of assuring there are no surface holes and that color is uniform.

To avoid bonding between the concrete and the formwork surface, the release agent creates a water resistant film, thus assuring that the water and the cement suspended in the surface cannot come in contact with the formwork surface.

The properties of the release agent should be compatible with the concrete and with the formwork on which it is going to be applied. This compatibility should comply with the following characteristics:

It should not cause holes nor generate color variations or other surface defects.

With the objective of avoiding interactions in the concrete curing and hardening process, it must not be soluble in water.

It must make the formwork more durable.

It must not be a health hazard to the workers who handle it.

As well as improving the concrete surface, the release agent minimizes the damages inflicted on the formwork surface. It also facilitates striping all types of molds and reduces residues, thus achieving long life board surfaces.

Additional information on the release agent

The release agent recommended by ULMA Construcción should be applied directly to surfaces, and it is formulated from mineral and chemical components with properties superior to conventional oils. Chemically, it forms an impermeable film over the board, which protects the formwork and the concrete.

RAPID Horizontal Formwork

PRECAUTIONS

Health and safety

It should be applied uniformly on the wall in thin coats. Correct use guidelines should always be taken into account.

If used at temperatures above 60º, consult our Technical Department.

The release agent can be preserved for a maximum of 12 months when stored, well sealed, in its original containers under normal storage conditions.

Non-absorbent surfaces require one single application. New wooden surfaces not covered with polyurethane should be recovered with release agent if the wood soaks in the first coat of release agent applied.

Fire

The release agent has a high flash point, and therefore it should not be exposed to open flames or other sources of ignition. (Flash point

>60º)

Cleaning and removing

The formwork surfaces should be cleaned carefully before applying the release agent. It can be brushed, rolled or sprayed on.

When possible it is recommended to use a sprayer.

General safety tips

RECOMMENDATIONS

The prop support must be horizontal with a flat surface and stable base.

The prop must be plumbed.

YES

The load applied over the prop will be vertical and centered.

Horizontal loads must not be exerted on the prop.

YES

The props must individually be used between the support and the load. It is not advised to join these together in order to use them at higher heights since that could lead to collapses and decreased working loads.

Construcción

47

48

RAPID Horizontal Formwork

Do not use the formwork as a material storage platform, loading specific areas.

Always distribute loads uniformly by sorting out the stored materials.

Do not drop objects or jump on the shuttering boards.

Pour the concrete in layers or levels of uniform thickness and continually vibrate. Do not permit concrete to accumulate or build up in mounds to be subsequently leveled out.

Construcción

RAPID Horizontal Formwork

HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE CONDITIONS

• Follow the Project instructions strictly.

• Always follow the Manufacturer’s General Instructions.

• Always follow Internal Safety Standards.

• The assembly of the mechanical elements and the board should be conducted safely, using either mobile towers, nets under the formwork or lifelines.

• The props should be used properly, observing load limits, plumbing and with stable support.

• When height of prop is exceeded, use shoring system.

• Personal and group safety equipment:

1. The personal protective equipment should include: hard hat, safety footwear, gloves and tool holder belt. It can also include an anti-fall harness and lifeline.

2. If necessary, use protective goggles or masks, hearing protection, breathing masks, reflective jackets and any other element required in the relevant occupational Health and Safety guidelines.

3. The safety handrail should be used as group protection, and, when applicable mobile towers, nets under the formwork and perimeter scaffolding will also be used.

• Safety Heads must be assembled in order to install the handrail on the steel structure. The housing is included in the perimeter solution.

• Pallets and boxes must be used when transporting material to the construction site and on the jobsite.

• For proper assembly, the following should be verified between uses: cleanliness of the board and support areas.

RAPID Horizontal Formwork

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

• Holes should be protected with covers, handrails, nets or meshes to prevent people from falling from one level to another.

• The sides of the formwork structure or perimeter scaffolding will have regulatory handrails.

• Use 15 cm toe boards in the perimeter handrails.

• Check formwork elements and safety elements. Replace as necessary. Confirm:

· That no knocks or blows have damaged their section.

· That they are not bent.

· That their attachments are correct and effective.

• Check the following in timber or plastic elements:

· That they have no knocks, cracks or knots that may reduce their resistance.

· That they are properly secured to their supports.

· Replace as necessary.

• To access the formwork standard ladders, ladder turrets or regulation catwalks should be used.

• In mobile scaffolding towers, work with the brake on and do not move them when the worker is on top of them.

• Follow the specific procedure in the assembly and disassembly of perimeter formwork.

• Keep work areas clean and organized at all times. Leave material organized and stacked. Do not leave material disorganized on the formwork or on the ground.

• The formwork must be put up and dismantled by competent personnel assigned by the site manager to avoid any wrong operations.

• Do not leave any element partially assembled.

• Properly brace the structure when it is assembled.

• Do not work with formwork when wind speeds are in excess of 60 km/h.

• Check safety hooks and slings before lifting or stripping the formwork.

• Use suitable anchoring and certified slings and hoists when lifting.

• When moving material in slings, secure it to make sure that it does not come loose in transit.

• Do not drive under hanging loads or in areas where machinery is operating.

• Mark off and impede circulation in working areas.

• Use tool holder belts with pockets for small parts.

• Fit the equipment with the necessary mechanical lift mechanisms.

• Move only through signposted areas on the working zone.

• Train personnel in manual load handling.

• Use comfortable and safe postures when loading difficult bulky loads.

• Manual load conveying should be carried out with right body positions.

• Conduct a general revision of the formwork after the assembly is complete.

Construcción

RAPID Horizontal Formwork

POURING CONCRETE

• Prior to pouring concrete make sure:

· That the formwork is assembled correctly, observing the layout.

· To install the Reinforcement props where necessary.

· To level the formwork.

· To steep the formwork surface with release agent.

· To install the Plastic handrail supports along the perimeter of the freshly poured concrete slab for the subsequent placement of Safety handrail post on the slab.

• During the vibration process, the vibrators will never come in contact with the formwork to assure that the loads and overloads considered for each slab thickness will not be exceeded.

• Avoid undue stockpiling of material as well as accumulations and abrupt pouring of concrete.

• Pouring the concrete in several phases is recommended in cases where the maximum admissible thickness may be exceeded.

• Avoid “sudden” emptying of the bucket on the formwork. Pour the concrete from a height at which rough movements will not be produced in the formwork.

• The formwork should be removed only when the concrete is strong enough.

• Check the state of the formwork before undertaking any disassembly work.

• The horizontal loads to be supported by temporary building elements on site are defined in the EN 12812:2004 standard,

Formwork: verification requirements and general design (Section 8.2.2.2.) and are quantified as 1% of the vertical loads, Q1 and

Q2, where Q1 are permanent loads and Q2 variable vertical loads.

Similarly, in this section it is considered that these loads are transmitted to the structure through the formwork elements which, attached to the structure, restrict the horizontal movement of the formwork.

It also indicates in a note that this effect is due to actions such as those caused by pumped concrete pouring.

The formwork is designed taking into account the transfer of horizontal forces into the actual structure.

The horizontal load is transferred from one part to another until this stress is absorbed by a rigid element of the structure, such as a column, wall, etc. If there are no fixed points on the structure for bracing, the use of stable shoring with its relevant attachments is necessary.
