Design of column formwork

To prevent deformation of the waling profiles,

put a site-provided wooden spacer (Z) between
the profiles of each waling and nail it to the
Doka beam.

Together with tie-rods, the Universal angle tie bracket
enables the walings to be diagonally tension-braced.

CAUTION
Risk of tie overload if not correctly positioned!
Make sure that the Universal angle tie
bracket is bolted into the right holes for the

being used!

Using the easy-to-attach Lifting bracket, the col-
umn formwork can be safely lifted by crane:
For each half of the column formwork, attach two Lift-
ing brackets to the Doka beams symmetrically (so as

to ensure the centre-of-gravity position).

Fit a pressure bracing between the Lifting brackets to
transfer the oblique pull forces.

CAUTION
Where the column is 5.0 m high or more, or
where one half of the column formwork has
a dead weight of 800 kg or above, the Lift-
ing-bracket for column formwork is used.
Its high inherent rigidity enables the column
formwork to be lifted safely by crane.
For more information, please contact your
Doka technician.

Attach the first half-shell (the one without panel
struts) to the crane.
Undo the connections between the first and second

WARNING
The formwork tends to adhere to the concrete.
When stripping the formwork, do not try to
break concrete cohesion using the crane!
Risk of crane overload.
Use suitable tools such as timber wedges or
a special pry-bar to detach the formwork
from the concrete.
Lift away the first half-shell by crane and place it
