positive properties of

advantages: longer

Besides the obvious
advantages, such as
considerably reduced
cleaning effort, minimum
consumption of release

concrete finish, alkus
offers substantial
ecological benefits.

Panel connection

Depending on whether
the AluFix-panel with
double groove (see
page AF-4) or single

AF
groove (see page AF-5)
is used, the EA- or the
E-assembly lock has to
be used. Both allow
for a fast and efficient
connection of the
panels, no matter if the
panels are assembled
side by side or on top
of each other. The lock
can be attached on the
frame at any position,
and its 5-point contact
(EA-assembly lock;
Fig. 7.2), or 3-point
contact (E-assembly
lock; Fig. 7.3) does not
only draw together the
panels, it also aligns
them (Fig. 7.1). Since the
lock weighs only 1,5 kg
or 0,8 kg it can be easily
attached with one hand.
Three assembly locks per
panel joint are sufficient
for the 3,00 m high
panels. Two assembly
locks per panel joint are
sufficient for the 2,64 m
and 1,32 m high panels.
Fig. 7.1 For outside corners
and columns other
configurations are valid

AF-32).

The tie hole sleeves

The size of the tie holes

On sloping formwork the
articulated flange nuts
15/120 have to be used.
These flange nuts can be
easily installed by using
a hammer (Fig. 9.2) or a
Fig. 9.1 spanner SW 27. In order
to secure the formwork
against uplift it has to be
tied to the ground.

Please note
If two panels of different
width are assembled side
by side, the ties should
always be placed through
the panel with the larger
width (Fig. 9.3).
When using Uni-tie claws,
the ties can be placed
at the outside edge of
the panels, for example
when forming stop ends,
or directly above the
panels when forming
foundations.

Attachment of accessories

All panels are provided


with multi-function
profiles. Dywidag
threaded nuts are
welded inside the
profile (Fig. 12.1). The
difference between
these multi-function
profiles and the
stiffeners is that the
multi-function profile
allows for attachment of
forming accessories.

Scaffolding brackets are Fig. 12.1


provided with self-lock-
ing pins (Fig. 12.3 and
12.4) and thus can be
mounted on the multi- Fig. 12.2
function profile. The
scaffolding bracket can
be secured with a flange
screw 18 (Fig. 12.4).
Steel rails must be
attached to the multi-
function profile at tie
hole elevation to ensure
proper load transfer
(Fig. 12.2).
Formwork can be
set plumb by using a
push-pull prop, attached
to the panel with
the formwork-prop-
connector as shown in

Differences in height

The assembly lock can be


attached at any position
on the frame profile
(Fig. 26.1), so the
formwork needs no
connection grid and
requires no additional
accessories for assembly.
Vertical, horizontal and
even inclined panels can
all be safely connected by
means of assembly locks,
even with differences
in height (EA-assembly
lock for double groove
panels, E-assembly lock
for single groove panels).
Job built fillers are made
with square timbers and
an alkus plastic sheet or
plywood cut to size. When
required, use a square
timber for reinforcing.
Square timbers and panels
are simply connected to
each other with assembly
locks (EA-assembly lock
for double groove panels,
E-assembly lock for single
groove panels).
The wood filler areas
need special attention Fig. 26.1

a straight wall as an
example to illustrate the
sequence of operations.

AF
Transport:
When unloading the
truck and moving
piles of panels on the
construction site take
care to use appropriate
crane slings or the like.

Assembly:
Erect the first panel and
immediately attach a
push-pull prop or brace
(Fig. 33.1). Anchor the
brace to the ground in
order to prevent the
Fig.33.1
panel from tilting over.
Erect further panels and
connect them to each
other with assembly locks
(see pages AF 7 and
AF 8).
Spray the forming face
with release agent
MevaTrenn FT 8.
Attach the scaffolding
brackets and side railing
(Fig. 33.2).

Assembly and stripping (step-by-step)

Closing of formwork
After the reinforcement
is installed you can start
to close the formwork.
After the ties have been
installed the opposite
side of the formwork is
secured against tilting
over (Fig. 34.1).
However, for this side
you may not necessarily
need braces.
1. Insert the ties through
the first formwork equal
to the required wall
thickness.
2. Install spacer cones
and PVC sleeves over
the ties.
3. Lift and move the
second formwork into
place.
4. Push the ties through
the second formwork
and secure them on both
sides with flange nuts.
5. When using systems
without spacers apply Fig. 34.1
Z-bars to ensure a con-
stant wall thickness.

Finally complete the


working scaffold and
mount side railings
(Fig. 34.2).

Pouring
Watch rate of pouring
and observe DIN 4235
part 2 when pouring
(see also page AF-10).

Observe all federal, state


and local codes and
regulations for pouring
concrete.

Stripping
Do not start stripping
until the concrete has
set to the point where it

AF
cannot deform anymore.

Always start stripping


the formwork on the
second side (the one
without braces)
(Fig. 35.1 and 35.2).

1. Remove planking of
working scaffold.
2. Remove scaffolding
brackets.
3. Remove ties.
4. Remove panels.

If heavily soiled, you


might need to clean the
panels and spray them
with release agent
(MevaTrenn FT 8) before
the next use.

If stripping is done by
Fig. 35.1 crane, move units away
from the wall and place
them on the ground.

is disassembled at the
ground.

The panels can be


removed by hand or
by using a crane hook
one by one after the
wall braces and the

When using a crane,
larger panel units can be
lifted as one, also after

have been removed.
