Eurocodes at Doka

Calculation Guide Doka formwork engineering

Eurocodes at Doka
Eurocodes at Doka

In Europe, a uniform series of Standards known as


Eurocodes (EC) was developed for the construction
field by the end of 2007. These are intended to provide
a uniform basis, valid throughout Europe, for product
specifications, tenders and mathematical verification.
The EC are the world's most highly developed Standards in the construction field.
In the Doka Group, the EC are to be used as standard
from the end of 2008. They will thus supersede the DIN
norms as the "Doka standard" for product design.

The widely used "Permissible stress design" (comparing the actual stresses with the permissible stresses)
has been superseded by a new safety concept in the
EC.
The EC contrast the actions (loads) with the resistance
(capacity). The previous safety factor in the permissible
stresses is now divided into several partial factors. The
safety level remains the same!

Modification factor (only for timber to take


account of the moisture and the duration of load
action)
e.g. for Doka beam H20
Values as given in EN 1995-1-1 and EN 13377
The "permissible values" communicated in
Doka documents (e.g.: Qpermissible = 70 kN)
do not correspond to the design values
(e.g.: VRd = 105 kN)!
Avoid any confusion between the two!
Our documents will continue to state the permissible values.
Allowance has been made for the following partial factors:
F = 1.5
M, timber = 1.3
M, steel = 1.1
kmod = 0.9
In this way, all the design values needed in an
EC design calculation can be ascertained from
the permissible values.

2. for working and protection platforms:


EN 12812 states that a minimum service load of
0.75 kN/m2 should be assumed for all access zones
and scaffold levels.
Depending on the type of work to be carried out, it may
also be necessary to assume higher live loads. For
these live loads on work decks, EN 12811 specifies the
following Load Classes.

areas)

A working wind of q = 0.2 kN/m2 should always be


assumed.
The aerodynamic wind pressure w is obtained by multiplying the dynamic pressure q with the force coefficient cf (as a rule, for wall formwork cp,net = 1.3).

The grain of the face layer (A) must run at right


angles to the supports (B) .

If the moisture content is higher than shown in the diagrams below, the modulus of elasticity diminishes significantly (i.e. deformation increases), and this is
accompanied by a reduction in strength. This, in consequence, means a reduction in the ability to bear loads.

Xlife sheets 21mm

The deflection characteristics of the Xlife sheet


in the longitudinal are different from those in the
transverse direction. The only way to tell which
is the longitudinal and which is the transverse
direction is by the direction of the lettering on
the formwork sheets.
For the purpose of the following diagrams, then,
be sure to know which way round the Xlife
sheets are placed in relation to the supports
(e.g. Doka beams).

Examples of usage in Doka formwork systems


In the case of free-standing walls, an aerodynamic
coefficient cp,net of 1.3 should be assumed for Doka
products (formwork). The greater wind loads at the
ends must be constructionally sustained by additional
plumbing accessories (e.g. struts or pipe-braces).

Max. anchoring load: Fk = 13.5 kN (Rd = 20.3 kN)
*) Up to a height of 3.30 m, the spacing of the props can be extended
to 4.05 m apart.

The values apply where the wind pressure we =


0.65 kN/m2. This results in a dynamic pressure qp =
0.5 kN/m2 (102 km/h) where cp, net = 1.3. The greater
wind loads encountered at exposed formwork-ends
must be constructionally sustained by additional plumbing accessories (e.g. struts or pipe-braces). In cases
where higher wind pressure is encountered, the
number of struts must be determined by statical calculation.
For more information, see the Calculation
Guide "Wind loads to the Eurocodes" or ask
your Doka technician!
Note:
Every gang-form must be supported by at least 2
plumbing accessories.
Example: Where the formwork height is 7.20 m, the following are needed for every 5.40 m wide gang-form:

wind loads encountered at exposed formwork-ends
must be constructionally sustained by additional plumbing accessories (e.g. struts or pipe-braces). In cases
where higher wind pressure is encountered, the
number of struts must be determined by statical calculation.

The tensile forces that can be sustained only


apply where the anchor is positioned exactly as
required, i.e. 15 cm either side of the vertical
axis of the SC-frame.

The vertical and horizontal forces (Vk and Hk) must be transferred into
the ground by suitable means e.g. 2 ground nails per supporting
construction, or dowel-and-screw type fixing points in the sub-base
course (no need to prepare anchoring points).

1) In accordance with EN 12812, this allows for a service load of 0.75 kN/m and a variable load of 10 % of a massive concrete floor-slab, totalling
at least 0.75 kN/m but no more than 1.75 kN/m (assuming a unit weight of 25 kN/m for the fresh concrete). Mid-span deflection has been limited
to l/500. In the case of cavity flat-slab floors, significantly lower slab loads occur.

The horizontal load H and the vertical load V will influence:
the force in the Stop-anchor "Z" (needs to be
known for correct dimensioning of the tie-rod), and
the force in the concrete cone pull-out "N". This is
the force to which the concrete cone pull-out is subjected, and which can be directly compared with the
permitted tensile forces of the Universal climbing
cone in the concrete.
Note:
Revised static calculations are required for the loads in
the stop-anchor "Z" and for the concrete cone pull-out
load "N".

Important note:
Max. width of guard-rail boards 15cm. Where
larger areas are exposed to wind, this
reduces the possible influence widths!
Depending upon the height above the
ground, the influence will need to be limited
because of the max. load-bearing capacity of
the Handrail post T 1.80m (see 'Bridge edge
beam formwork T' User Information booklet).
The Doka beams H20 of the side-formwork
must be statically verified! Where necessary,
use them in the upright (i.e. loaded in the
'strong' direction)!
A working wind of 0.2 kN/m2 (64 km/h) and a

Demarcation of work-zones
When combined with fence-feet baseblocks, the Edge
protection system XP can also be used to demarcate
different working areas within a jobsite.
Required spacing of the handrail posts: 2.50 m
(as the Protective gratings XP have to be mounted in a
higher position).
Requirements for fence-feet baseblocks:
Dead weight min. 25 kg; length of baseblock foot
80 cm

Important note:
This demarcation fence is not a fall-arrest
barrier as defined by EN 13374!
Ensure that it has sufficient stability against
overturning, and allow for wind loads!
When used as a safety guard and demarcation fence for fall-hazard locations, it must be
placed min. 2.00 m from the drop-off edge!
Observe all local Standards and regulations!

Spans and cantilevering projections


of edge-protection components to
EN 13374 and EN 12811
The maximum span and cantilever of edge-protection
components is stipulated in European Standards
EN 13374 and EN 12811.
EN 13374 deals with temporary edge-protection systems such as the:
Edge protection system XP
Handrail clamp S
Handrail clamp T
Handrail post 1.10m
EN 12811 deals with temporary works equipment for
structures, working platforms etc. such as the:
Platform system Xsafe plus
Bracket platform M
Folding platform K
The requirements made regarding edge protection
(railing spars, intermediate spars, guard-rail boards,
scaffolding tubes) are similar in both Standards.
The tables show the maximum spans and cantilevering
projections of the railing spars (valid for both Standards).

Important note:
A fundamental distinction is made between the
span and the influence width.
The span is the distance between the handrail-post uprights (posts), and is specified in
the table.
The permitted influence width of a handrailpost upright is stated in the structural-design
section of the documentation and can only
be determined by calculation.
The distance between the handrail-post
uprights is roughly the same as the influence
width when
they are evenly spaced and
the guard-rail boards are either continuous
or are jointed at the handrail posts.
