2) MATERIAL TECHNICAL DATA:

Plywood (18mm):
Plywood to be provided by the client and it should have the below specifications:
2

Allowable shear stress Fv = 4.83 N/ mm
2
Modulus of Elasticity E = 4600 N/ mm

Aluminum Beam:
Allowable Bending Moment = 8.75 KN-m
Allowable Shear Force = 45.11 KN

Waler:
Allowable Bending Moment = 11.4 KN-m
Allowable Shear Force = 100 KN

3) CALCULATION OF PRESSURE ON FORMWORK (ONE SIDE):

The following is an extract from CIRIA Report 108 for Calculating Concrete Pressure on
Formwork:

Considering height of 1.8 m and pouring rate of 0.5 m/h

Therefore the design pressure:

Pmax = D [C1 √ + C2 K √ H - C1 √ ] KN/m2

= 25 [1 √ + 0.45 x 1 √ 1.8 - 1 √ ] KN/m2

= 29.439 KN/m2 , D h = 25 x 1.80= 45.0 KN/m2

Taking lesser value i.e. 29.439 KN/m2

At = from top.

And the pressure envelope is as follows

1.178 m
1.80m

Pmax = 29.439KN/m2

Based on the above pressure we check for the safety of Plywood, distance between Primary
walers, spacing of Aluminum beams and Load on Push Pull.

A) CHECK FOR PLYWOOD:

Technical data of plywood
Modulus of Elasticity E = 4600 N/mm2
(Cross grain)
Allowable Shear = 4.83 N/mm2

Considering Plywood Strip 10cm

Width of plywood strip = 0.10m
Span of plywood
(B/w Secondary beam) =300 mm

Loading Intensity 0.10 KN/M run:

29.439 KN/M2 x 0.10m= 2.943 KN/M

Check through Bending Stress, Shear & Allowable Deflection

Max. Bending Moment BM = WL2 = 2.943*0.32 = 0.026 KN-M

10 10

Max. Shear Force V = 0.60WL = 0.60*2.943*0.3 = 0.52 KN

Allowable Deflection δ = L/270 = 300/270 = 1.11 mm

For 0.10m strip * 18mm thick of Plywood

2 2
Section modulus Z =bd /6 =100(18) /6 = 5400mm3
3 3
Moment of Inertia Ixx =bd /12 =100(18) /12 = 48600mm4
Moment Area about N/A axis Q =100*9*9/2 = 4050mm3
Width of plywood strip B = 100mm

Bending Stress Fbr = M = 0.026*1000*1000 = 4.9 N/mm2

Z 5400

4.9 N/mm < 17.58 N/mm ------------------------------- (SAFE)

Shear stress Fvr = VQ = 0.52*1000*4050 = 0.44 N/mm2

IxxB 48600*100
2 2
0.44 N/mm < 4.83 N/mm --------------------------- (SAFE)

Max. Deflection δmax WL = 2.943 * (225) = 0.74 mm
145EI 145*4600*48,600

0.74 mm < 1.11 mm -------------------------------- (SAFE)

B) CHECK FOR ALUMINIUM:

Technical data of Aluminum

Max Span (Length of Secondary) = 1.0M (i.e. max distance between two primary horizontal Walers)

Allowable Shear Force = 45.11 KN

Allowable Bending Moment on Aluminum = 8.75 KNM

Allowable Deflection = L/360= 1000/360= 2.77 mm.

Modulus of Elasticity (E) =70,000N/mm2

Moment of Inertia (I) =458.160423cm4

Maximum UDL on Secondary beam = 0.3 x 29.43

= 8.82 KN/M

Check for Shear Force, Bending Moment & Deflection

Max. Bending Moment BM = WL2 = 8.82*1.02 = 0.88KNM

10 10

Max B.M= 0.88 KNM < 8.75 KNM (SAFE)

Max. Shear Force V = 0.60WL = 0.60*8.82*1.0 = 5.29 KN

Max S.F= 5.29 KN < 45.11 KN (SAFE)

4 4
Max. Deflection δmax WL = 8.82* (1000) = 0.189mm
145EI 145*70000*4581604

Max Deflection= 0.189 mm < 2.77 mm (SAFE)

C) CHECK FOR STEEL WALER:

Maximum Span of Waler =0.8m

Allowable Deflection = L/360= 800/360= 2.22 mm.

Therefore from the above result for primary beam:

Max S.F= 5.95 KN < 100 KN (SAFE)

Max B.M= 1.39 KNM < 11.4 KNM (SAFE)

Max Deflection= 0.1 mm< 2.22 mm (SAFE)

D) CHECK FOR TIE ROD:

Max Tensile force on Tie rod = 29.43 x 1.0 x 0.8 = 23.54 KN < 70KN (Safe)
