Formwork Design

• Floor and Roof formwork Design:


The design load that acts on the slab form consist of :
– self-weight of the reinforced slab plus
– the live load and,
– the weight of the formwork themselves.
 The American concrete institute (ACI) recommended a
minimum live load of:
 2.4kpa
In case of motorized concrete buggies are used
 3.6kpa

 ACI recommended a minimum design load (dead plus live) :

 4.8kpa

In case of motorized concrete buggies are used :

 6.0 kpa
 Design steps:

 Selecting the design load.

 Analyzing the sheeting, joist and stringers as beam under


uniformly distributed load supported over one of the
three conditions (single span - two spans – three spans or
larger).

 Determining the allowable span for slab from table 13-


5& 13-5A by considering the smallest span based on the
value of bending, shear and deflection.
 Design the sheathing.

 Design the joist.

 Design the stringers.

 Check the stringer spans and shore capacity.

 Check the crushing between joist and stringer.


Maximum bending moment, shear force and deflection developed by
uniformly distributed load can be obtained from table below:

The maximum fiber stress developed in bending, shear and
compression resulting from a specified load can be
determined from the upper equations.

EXAMPLE 13-1
• Design the formwork (Figure 13-2) for an elevated
concrete floor slab 6 in. (152 mm) thick.
• Sheathing will be nominal 1 in. (25-mm) lumber while 2
x 8 in. (50 x 200 mm) lumber will be used for joists.
• Stringers will be 4 x 8 in. (100 x 200 mm) lumber.
• Assume that all members are continuous over three or
more spans.
• Commercial 4000-lb (17.8-kN) shores will be used.
• It is estimated that the weight of the formwork will be
5 lb/sq ft (0.24 kPa).
• The adjusted allowable stresses for the lumber being
used are as follows:

13
EXAMPLE 13-1

• Maximum deflection of form members will be limited to l/360.


• Use the minimum value of live load permitted by ACI.
• Determine joist spacing, stringer spacing, and shore spacing.

Deck Design
• Consider a uniformly loaded strip of decking
(sheathing) 12 in.
• (or 1 m) wide placed perpendicular to the
joists (Figure 13-1a) and analyze it as a beam.
• Assume that the strip is continuous over three
or more spans and use the appropriate
equations of Table 13-5 and 13-5A.
• w =(1 sq ft/lin ft) x (130 lb/sq ft) = 130 lb/ft
• [w =(1 m2/lin m) x (6.21 kN/m2) =6.21 kN/m]

• Deflection governs in this case and the
maximum allowable span is 27.7 in. (703 mm).
• We will select a 24-in. (610-mm) joist spacing
as a modular value for the design.

24
Joist design
• Consider the joist as a uniformly loaded beam
supporting a strip of design load 24 in. (610
mm) wide (same as joist spacing; see Figure
13-1b).
• Joists are 2 x 8 in. (50 x 200 mm) lumber.
• Assume that the joists are continuous over
three spans.
• w =(2 ft) x (1) x (130 lb/sq ft) =260 lb/ft
• [ w =(0.610 m) x (1) x (6.22 kPa) = 3.79 kN/m]

Joist design
• Thus bending governs and the maximum joist
span is 87 in. (2213 mm).
• We will select a stringer spacing (joist span) of
84 in (7 ft). (2134 mm).

32
Stringer Design
• To analyze stringer design, consider a strip of design
load 7 ft (2.13 m) wide (equal to stringer spacing) as
resting directly on the stringer (Figure 13-1c).
• Assume the stringer to be continuous over three spans.
• Stringers are 4 x 8 (100 x 200 mm) lumber.
• Now analyze the stringer as a beam and determine the
maximum allowable span.
• w =(7) (130) =910 lb/ft
• [w =(2.13) (1) (6.22) = 13.25 kN/m]

• Bending governs and the maximum span is 71.1


in. (1808 mm).

37
Check Shore Strength
• Now we must check shore strength before
selecting the stringer span (shore spacing).
• The maximum stringer span based on shore
strength is equal to the shore strength divided by
the load per unit length of stringer.

• Thus the maximum stringer span is limited by shore


strength to 52.7 in. (1.343 m).
• We select a shore spacing of 4 ft (1.22 m) as a modular
value.
38
Check for Crushing
• Before completing our design, we should check for crushing
at the point where each joist rests on a stringer.
• The load at this point is the load per unit length of joist
multiplied by the joist span.

39
Final Design
• Decking: nominal1-in. (25-mm) lumber
• Joists: 2 x 8's (50 x 200-mm) at 24-in. (610-
mm) spacing
• Stringers: 4 x 8's (100 x 200-mm) at 84-in.
(2.13-m) spacing
• Shore: 4000-lb (17.8-kN) commercial shores at
48-in. (1.22-m) intervals
