GENERAL INFORMATION
1. A qualified person must accurately calculate the applied loads and select the appropriate form tying products and determine compatible tie spacings. 2. In form tying operations, proper installation practices must be maintained. Failure to follow approved practices, such as missing form ties, misalignment of form ties, incorrect form tie lengths, excessive pour rates, etc., can cause form failure.

For catalogue updates visit our web site at www.nca.ca.

3. NCA recommends the user of the information contained herein and the installer of our products adhere to the Canadian Standards Association CAN /CSA - S269.3 -M92 Concrete Formwork and American Concrete Institute -ACI 347 Guide to Formwork. The applied safety factor for a product will depend on the degree of hazard or risk involved in the product application. This safety factor is governed by national codes, local codes and / or by design professionals. With regards to concrete construction, onsite conditions such as, poor concrete placing technique, concentrated loads on the formwork, improper use of cranes or concrete pumping could increase the degree of risk. If such site conditions exist, the user must increase the safety factor to compensate. For most applications NCA suggests a minimum 2:1 safety factor for hanging accessories and stresses that this safety factor should be strictly adhered to or the application be reviewed by a design professional. The material included in this publication uses this 2:1 safety factor for convenience but also provides the ultimate capacities so other safety factors may be used where applicable. WARNING : Improper, careless and/or haphazard use of the products shown in this document can expose workers to extreme danger, injury and death. If uncertain about installations or use of any NCA product, contact the nearest NCA Sales office or Technical Department for explanations and/or recommendations. National Concrete Accessories products are manufactured according to strict specifications and are subject to numerous tests under a stringent quality control program. These products are designed to be capable of meeting or exceeding all necessary safety requirements for the concrete construction and forming industry. All product test data shown, were obtained through an independent testing facility or tests conducted by NCA. However, the performance of a quality product can be affected by the manner in which it is used in the field. Therefore, the following precautions should be taken by all involved persons. 4. To avoid crushed wales and/or bent Tyholders when using a double waler system, maintain a spacing between the walers comparable to the tie diameter being used plus 13 mm (1/2"). 5. Any welding required on a forming project should be performed by a certified welder. Bending or welding of high tensile steel products should not be permitted.

Note: NCA does not warrant any product that has been welded, altered or modified in any way after leaving an NCA plant or warehouse. After final inspection of location and alignment, telltale devices should be installed in strategic places on the formwork to facilitate detection of formwork movement during concrete placement. During concreting, the formwork should be continuously monitored by competent persons. These monitors should have a reasonable area of safety and a means of communicating problems or emergencies to the placement crew. 6. Never exceed listed product safe working loads. Note that all product load ratings shown in this bulletin are ratings for new or "as new" products only. Extreme caution must be exercised when using any product that is in other than new condition. Any reusable product that shows wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion or any other factor that would compromise its safe working load should be discarded. 7. Caution must be exercised when using washer devices to span double wales. Waler gaps are excessive when the washer device does not bear directly on the primary waler members. 8. NCA products are not to be applied or installed until the user and/or the installer has a clear understanding of the information contained within the appropriate product publication. All contractors must instruct their employees in the appropriate use and installation of NCA products. To avoid injury and possible form tie problems DO NOT CLIMB ON FORM TIES. Over-vibration or re-vibration will cause lower concrete to remain in a liquid state for an extended period of time. This can cause excessive lateral form pressure and possible form failure Plumbing of the form, after concrete placement, should not be attempted. It is virtually impossible to force a form back into position if it is misaligned or has bulged during concrete placement. Runways for moving equipment should be provided with struts or legs as required and be supported directly on the formwork or structural member. Formwork must be suitable to support such runways without intolerable deflection, vibration or lateral movement. 9. Do not interchange products supplied by other manufacturers with those supplied by NCA. NCA cannot guarantee that products supplied by others will be compatible and/or interchangeable with NCA's quality concrete accessories. 10.Drawings and/or sketches shown in this bulletin are for illustrative purposes only. Check actual forming conditions for specific applications. Metric values listed are a soft conversion of imperial values.

The information contained herein supersedes all previous versions printed prior to this edition and is based on data and knowledge considered true and accurate. NCA reserves the right to update information without notice. Please read all statements, recommendations or suggestions in conjunction with NCA's condition of sale which apply to all goods supplied by NCA. No statement, recommendations or suggestions is intended for any use that would infringe any patent or copyright.
NOTE: For applications not specifically identified herein, approval in writing is required by the NCA Technical Department for special applications and uses of NCA products.

NCA Snap-Tys are fabricated to fit either prefabricated panels or built-in-place forms. They are specifically designed for quick, easy and accurate erection of light formwork. End sizes can be as short as 32 mm (1") for Steel Washer Snap-Tys or as long as you need them to fit a special condition. Snap-Tys can be fabricated for any required wall thickness up to 6 m (19'-6") in length. Spreader washers are precisely located to give exact wall thicknesses. Break points are located at specified distances back from the wall face to permit clean stripping without spalling. All standard Tys are manufactured to provide set back from the wall face. The small Ty holes and washer indentations are easily pointed, grouted or plugged. Consult the Technical Department for minimum wall thicknesses. For exposed concrete or where a longer set back is required, the NCA Space-TyTM is suggested. Snap-Tys are stocked in 120 mm or 211 mm (4" or 8") ends for standard wall thicknesses.

CAM-LOCK and ANCHOR-LOCK FORMING SYSTEMS

Cam-Lock Forming System


The NCA Cam-Lock Forming System takes advantage of inexpensive forming materials, S4S 2x4s with 4'x8'x" or 2'x8'x" plywood sheets. When used for built-in-place forming, no ribbing or special hardware attached to the panels is necessary. The use of stiffbacks and walers is cut in half. Walers may be used either vertically or horizontally, but field tests have proved the latter method to be easier and faster. The Cam-Lock Bracket holds the 2x4 waler in place by locking to the loop-end ty through caming pressure. Further rigidity of the form may be obtained through use of the Cam-Lock Stiff-Back Cam which connects to the ears on the back of the Cam-Lock Bracket, locking either a 2x4 or 2x6 in place with the same caming principle. This also assures perfect alignment of the form from top to bottom and enhances the systems adaptability to extremely high, close tolerance work. The extreme rigidity of Cam-Lock Forming System makes it adaptable to all types of construction, and this same rigidity, coupled with the Cam-Lock Scaffold Bracket, makes it especially desirable for high wall forming. Economy of the system is realized in labour costs through the simplicity of the system as well as the increased man-hour production that result from easier handling of the light weight plywood sheets. Since only half as much dimension lumber is used, further savings are derived from lower material costs.

Cam-Lock Self Centering D-Cone Ty

The NCA Cam-Lock Self Centering D-Cone Ty features a high density polyethylene Cone Washer. This Cone Washer will not absorb moisture or stick to the concrete, preventing break back problems. A smooth, uniform hole results after break back, allowing easier grouting and faster, better finishing. The standard 25 mm (1") D-Cone comes with a 25 mm (1") break back. Self-centering tapered cones require a drill hole size of 21 mm (13/16").

TYSCRU

The NCA TYSCRU

The NCA Tyscru is an extra strong, resistance welded Ty designed to take the abuse encountered in medium and heavy concrete construction. An extremely simple Ty, capable of many combinations and uses in the field, it may be used with or without Tycones or combined with Continuous Threaded Lagstud to form an Adjustable Tyscru. Determining your Tyscru Requirement Tyscru: The Tyscru length is determined by subtracting each set back requirement from the wall thickness at the tie location. Lagstud or lagstud bolt length is determined by adding the form thickness to the set back on one side plus the Tyscru coil length plus 13 mm ("). Lagstud or Lagstud Bolt are furnished standard in even 50 mm (2") lengths. Select the next higher full unit over actual length determined. For extreme adjustment requirements, 25 mm to 50 mm (1" to 2") may be added.

TYSCRU

Wall thickness: Distance between the form facings at the Tyscru location. Set Back: Required distance of Ty metal from the finished concrete face with or without the use of Tycones. Set back may be required at one or both faces, usually both. Total set back is the sum of set backs from both wall faces. When Tycones are used, their length is equal to the required set back.

2:1 Safety Factor

Form Thickness: Distance measured between the finished concrete surface to the outside face of the flat washer includes plywood sheeting material, studs, wales and washer. Coil Penetration: Distance the Lagstud should penetrate the Tyscru coil length plus 13 mm ("). General instructions: For extreme penetration or extended concrete curing requirements, the Lagstud or Lagstud Bolt is normally greased to facilitate removal. To break the bond and permit easy removal, it is a good practice to turn the lagstud or lagstud bolt a quarter to one-half turn, in and out, eight to twelve hours after the concrete has been poured.

The minimum Lagstud Bolt length required is equal to the sum of the flat washer, waler studs, form ply, set back and the coil length plus 13 mm ("). Plumb Wall Form

*NCA recommends that all Rock Anchors be tested under job-site conditions to determine if ambient stratum conditions will limit safe working load.

NOTE: Remove temporary plastic band before installation. The lagstud end must be against back-strap then forced to bottom of bore hole before tightening. Do not overtighten. Overtightening destroys the bond.

AR Rock Anchor Assembly


Transition couplers give the AR mechanical cone shell anchors the ability to be used with lagstud or National Course thread, for single sided forming applications. Refer to NCAs Rock Anchoring and Bolt System catalogue for technical information or consult the NCA Technical Department.

Drop-In Anchor
The lag thread NCA Drop-in Anchor features an internally threaded all-steel shell, with an preassembled expansion cone insert. The Drop-In Anchors are designed to work as part of the forming system, matched to the thread of NCA Lagstuds or Lagbolts. The Drop-In Anchors are made from carbon steel and electroplated galvanized for corrosion protection. The Drop-in Anchor is used for any application requiring anchorage in solid concrete or homogeneous igneous rock. Ideal for lagging, NCA Drop-In Anchors are also effective for hanging bolting or anchoring application with NCA Tylags, Lagstud Bolts or Lagstud. Not recommended for uncured concrete (less than 7 days old), lightweight concrete or masonry block or brick.

NCA suggests a minimum safety factor of 2:1. On site conditions such as, poor concrete, placing technique, concentrated loads on the formwork, improper use of cranes or concrete pumping could increase the risk. If such site conditions exist, the user must increase the safety factor to compensate. For anchoring situations not associated with forming, industry practice is to apply a safety factor of 4:1 minimum. For applications of greater risk a larger safety factor may be selected. For edge distance and load reductions contact NCA technical representative. Specifications subject to change without notice.

SCREW ANCHOR and B O LT S Y S T E M

Screw Anchor and Bolt System


The NCA Screw Anchor Bolt System provides a permanent or temporary cast in place anchorage. The Screw Anchor embedded in concrete effectively distributes bolt loads into the surrounding concrete. The Screw Anchor Bolts are removable and reusable as required. Installation Considerations After the Screw Anchor is spun onto and bottoms against the Screw Anchor Setting Bolt, it should be tightened securely. This tightening conforms the coils against the bolt threads for proper fit and function. If not properly tightened as described above, a thread mismatch may occur. It is a good practice to back-off the Setting Bolt a quarter to a half turn about eight to twelve hours after the concrete has been poured. This breaks the concrete bond and permits easier bolt removal. Setting Details for Anchor Bolts

For Falsework support 3:1 Working Load to Ultimate (concrete plus form and liveload allowance). For temporary form anchorage: 2:1 Working Load (computed load plus liveload allowance) to Ultimate Anchorage Strength (as related to concrete strength). The following are recommended reductions in ultimate strength for use of 1" and/or 1" diameter Screw Anchors and Bolts in low strength concrete. For 3.45 MPa (500 psi) concrete use 33% of 13.7 MPa (2,000 psi) values. For 6.9 MPa (1,000 psi) concrete use 60% of 13.7 MPa (2,000 psi) values. For 10.3 MPa (1,500 psi) concrete use 80% of 13.7 MPa (2,000 psi) values. Note: For lifting and shear applications all bolts should be securely tightened and have a bearing plate or washer under the bolt head.

Preparatory Work: None Limitations: The NCA Wilson Anchor Sleeve is not recommended where high heat is used, such as inside an oven. Caution: When using the NCA Wilson Anchor Sleeve outdoors or under freezing conditions, the sleeve must be sealed around the bolt to prevent moisture penetration or filled with Antifreeze. Installation: The bottom of the sleeve is passed over the top of the bolt until the threaded portion engages the self-threading top of the sleeve. The sleeve is turned until the proper projection is obtained. The entire assembly is cast into the concrete, with the top of the sleeve at foundation level. When the anchor bolt is ready for adjustment, the top of the sleeve is cut off and discarded. The bolt may now be adjusted within the sleeve. Expansion or non-shrinking grout is cast into the sleeve around the bolt when equipment is set. Other applications are done in a similar fashion.

Form Release Agents


NCA RICH-COTETM
A premium liquid debonding agent developed especially for concrete. Through a chemical reaction, RICH-COTETM produces a smooth, white, flat concrete surface which is free of voids and will bond with paint, plaster, tiles and any other coating applied directly to the concrete. RICH-COTETM reacts positively with the alkalis in the concrete forming a water resistant barrier with the concrete that prevents it from binding to the forms. RICH-COTETM waterproofs plywood forms preventing the alkalis in the concrete from being absorbed and rotting the wood. It is compatible with any pre-oiling done at the mill or any other substance previously used for treating forms. It will not wick out or wash off. Continued use makes forms completely waterproof and extends their life considerably. RICH-COTETM can be sprayed at sub-freezing temperatures. It will not stain and will reduce finishing time by 50%. RICH-COTETM makes form stripping easier and faster. For the most effective and economical method of application use the NCA Form Sprayer. Drying Time: 1 - 2 hours leaving a completely workable, non-slip surface. Coverage: 12-18 square metres per litre on most forms. 18 - 25 square metres per litre on plastic coated and steel forms.

CAUTION! Do not use on rubber articles. To order, please specify the following information

NCA 740 Release


A blend of hydrocarbon solvents and organic chemicals that uses a chemical reaction to provide quick, easy and clean release of concrete from forms. This form release agent acts as a bond breaker, will not wash off and is non-staining. The NCA 740 Release cuts cleanup time, eliminates voids and prevents buildup of concrete and mortar. The NCA 740 Release also protects steel forms from rusting. NCA 740 Release is used to prevent concrete from bonding to forms and may be used on sealed or unsealed plywood forms, timber, metal, spiral wound tube, fibreglass, and plastic. The agent may also be used to provent concrete from bonding to paving machines, precast equipment, mixers, vibrators, and other concrete equipment. Suitable for use in potable water applications.

The thinness and flexibility of Hy-rib allows it to be used in dense rebar sections. It accommodates heavy bending and doweling of rebar more cheaply. This would be difficult to do with conventional plywood. With some construction joints, plywood is almost impossible to remove. With Expamet Hy-rib, the sheets remain in the concrete with no labour involved for removing the sheets.

General Guidelines and Conditions


SAFE WORKING LOADS: The Safe Working Loads published in this brochure can only be obtained when NCA products and accessories are used together. Products must be installed correctly to obtain the full strength development as illustrated below.

Ensure that internal vibration has not caused Snap-Ty Wedges to bounce around, loosen or fall off. It is important to properly position the Snap-Ty head and the wedge.

The Ty Head must not be positioned lower than the midpoint of the wedge. The proper Ty Head position is at the midpoint of the wedge slot, or higher.

Walers spaced too far apart may cause crushing of the wales or bending of the wedge, causing the form to bulge outward. Incorrect wall thicknesses will result and cause the Ty Spreader Washers or Cones to become embedded in the concrete. Embedded Ty Washers or Cones will make it difficult to break back the Tys.

102

APPENDIX

Ty cones and metal washers are used to act as form spreaders only. The wedge should not be overtightened by any method. Attempting to draw-up warped wales with the wedge should not be attempted. Metal spreader washers will bend out of shape and plastic cones will break if over tightening is attempted, resulting in incorrect wall thickness.

To achieve proper form structures, it is important that all form tys are installed and used properly. Excessive loads will be transferred to adjacent tys and can result in form failure if tys and/or their required hardware are omitted.

Ensure that form tys are properly aligned. Increased loads placed on form tys because of misalignment may cause form failure to occur. Also, reduced load capacities can result from form tys damaged because of misalignment during installation.

103

APPENDIX
The maximum space between double walers should be 13 mm (") more than the nominal diameter of a forming device being used ie He-Bolts, Taper-Tys, She-Bolts and Lagstud Bolts.

Wales may be crushed or washers may bend if too much space is allowed between the walers. Too much space causes the form to move outward and will result in incorrect wall thickness and spreader cones becoming trapped in the concrete. Incorrect wall thickness can also be caused from washers being deflected due to the increased lateral form pressure. Lag stud bolts and other lag thread products must have proper lag penetration. A minimum of one diameter of the bolting device past the coil is the proper penetration. As an example, a lagstud bolt that is 25 mm (1") in diameter should extend a minimum of 25 mm (1") past the coil. Form failure can result if threaded items are penetrated incorrectly. Excessive wear on the bolts first few threads are caused from improper penetration and the entire bolt load is placed on a smaller portion of the coil welds. The coil welds can fail and cause form failure because of this increased load.
104

APPENDIX
Do not force tys into position. Forcing the tys may damage the ty and result in form failure. Do not use incorrect length Tys and do not mix incorrect form Ty lengths with correct ones. Doing so will cause a transfer of lateral pressure to adjacent tys and may result in form failure. Do not use the form tys for climbing. Impact wrenches should not be used to tighten form tying devices. Do not vibrate the concrete excessively or the concrete at the bottom of the form will stay in liquid state longer than should be expected. The liquid state will cause a higher than expected lateral form pressure and could cause a form failure. The recommended rate of placement should not be exceeded. If the concrete at the bottom of the form is still in liquid state do not continue to place concrete. Form failure may result. Working parts below the specified requirements should not be used with forming accessories. Use accessories and hardware of proper length, diameter and capacity. If it is necessary to use a greater safety factor, the safe working load must be reduced accordingly. Use caution when welding any forming system component. Material properties may be affected by welding and result in lower product performance. A good working knowledge of materials, heat treating and welding procedures is required before welding any forming accessory. National Concrete Accessories does not guarantee any product altered in any way after leaving the factory.
105

APPENDIX
Induced Tension Loads
When tying at an angle be aware that an increase in the tension applied to an angled ty is increased. Sample angles and the corresponding multiplication factors for calculating the tension load on an angled ty are shown in the table.

Induced Shear Loads


It is important to note the illustration showing ty downs placed at an angle and the shear loads produced. Total shear load may be many times greater than the shear load produced by the form weight alone. When deciding which form ty system to use for a forming application, consider both the tension and the shear load.

APPENDIX

Stripping of Snap-Tys and guidelines for break back


NCA Snap-Ty break backs are manufactured to exacting standards that ensure that they perform to load requirements while providing a consistent and reliable breaking point. However, many factors affect the performance of the break backs. Snap-Tys must not be bent during installation as the break back could be adversely affected. For best results, Tys are not to be removed until concrete has gained sufficient strength to prevent the Ty upset from rotating typically 2 to 3 days. Attempting to break the Ty in green concrete may result in the Ty rotation in the concrete and make it difficult to break the Ty. Only Space-Tys have a guaranteed break back. Other Snap-Ty products are designed to provide a consistent break back, but can be affected by the concrete, which could generate difficulties in achieving a consistent break back. Products like the Steel Washer, No Washer and No Spreader SnapTys where the break back could be contained within the concrete require extra attention. With increased bond length NCA cannot guarantee that the Ty will consistently provide the proper break back. For these products, this is especially important where break backs of over " (20 mm) are desired. A good quality release agent/grease (acceptable non-staining) applied between the break back and the face of formwork (grease wire to be embedded, that will be removed do not grease head area) may facilitate more consistent results. On site tests should be conducted to identify if consistent results can be achieved with the concrete mix and Ty. If the washer or cone is not free of the concrete, chip away the concrete using a hammer, screwdriver or drill to free the embedded components. Failure to free up the embedded components could result in the break back closer to the surface of the concrete instead of the desired break back location. Use of the NCA Snap-Ty and Space-Ty wrenches will assist with consistency, reduce risk of injury and speed up removal (see pages 22 and 23). If in doubt, contact NCAs technical department for assistance.

As you increase the height of plastic concrete to the forms, the pressure will build at a rate of 150 PSF per foot of depth. This will be true as long as all concrete remains in a plastic state. Example: Ten feet of fluid or plastic concrete bears on the bottom foot of forms with a pressure of 10 X 150 lbs/ft3 or 1500 PSF.

Concrete cures and gains strength faster with an increase in temperature. Example: At 21 C (70 F), concrete sets in approximately 1 hour. At 4.5C (40 F) concrete will set up in about 1 hour.

Consult the National Concrete Accessories Technical Department when concrete strengths are less than 3.4 MPa (500 psi). Estimated practical load values are shown for various strengths of concrete. Safety factors (ultimate load: working load) is determined at 2:1. Use lighter anchor unit in concrete above 4.8 MPA (700 psi) for same load capacity. A good forming practice is to preload re-anchorage units to safe working load prior to pouring lift. Slippage will indicate inadequate concrete strength. This practice is especially critical in concrete under 3.4 MPa (500 psi). These are guide figures drawn from comprehensive tests and accumulated data, and performance will vary somewhat under different conditions. For specific job conditions a check test is recommended under field conditions after a selection is made. It is not considered desirable to plan canteliver operation below 2.7 MPa (400 psi). Type 50, cement jobs have run as low as 450 psi @ 7 days. Below 400 psi, cycle increases for 400 psi minimum are indicated as good procedures.
