ALSHOR PLUS
Alshor Twin Pronged Table C-Hook - Allowable Working Loads

The lifting duty graph for the C-Hook is detailed below and on the C-Hook identification plate
attached to the vertical member. Lifting duties vary depending on the position of the centre of
gravity of the load relative to the C-Hook. This depends on two factors as follows.
• The length of the table parallel to the forks; longer tables have a centre of gravity further out
along the forks and hence result in lower lifting duties. The duty graph is plotted assuming
that the forks are fully inserted beneath the table top up to the vertical C-Hook member and
that the soffit formwork load is even along its length. For arrangements outside these
parameters refer to RMD Kwikform Engineering.
• The proportion of the load carried by each C-Hook fork; if the table is uniform and
rectangular then the centre of the table top can be accurately set out and marked. Provided
the C-hook is centred on these marks and square to the table, each fork will carry 50% of
the load. Where the table is an odd shape the position of the centre of gravity may be less
certain and allowances should be made for this when checking the duty of the C-Hook.
The folding stabiliser arms are rated at a maximum point load on the end of 500kg. This is not
additive to the overall C-Hook rating. The arms are intended to prevent accidental tipping
sideways of the table should the suspended load be subjected to an impact during crane
handling. Do not position the C-Hook such that the centre of gravity of the table lies
outside of the forks.

Structural Design Parameters

Allowable Working loads have been established for falsework and backpropping applications using
second order theory analysis (p-delta) with a factor of safety on failure of 2. Subsequent analyses
have shown that the methods used produce conservative results when compared to those
determined using EN 12812.
Boundary Conditions
• Falsework structures - fixed in position and free to rotate at the top of the structure, fixed in
position and fixed in rotation at the base of the structure.
• Backpropping structures - fixed in position and fixed in rotation at the top and the base of the
structure.
• Load eccentricity of 5mm at the top of the structure, concentric at the base.
Joints Between Components
• Joints between leg sections and between the leg and jack are modelled as continuous and are
checked subsequent to modelling to ensure that M/N is less than 28mm where M is the applied
bending moment at the joint and N is the applied axial force. Provided this condition is satisfied
these compression only joints cannot open.
• The second moment of area of the section of the leg with jack inserted is enhanced by 50% of
the jack second moment of area.
Imperfections
• Jack rotation due to a tolerance gap of 2.18mm between the outside of the jack and the inside
of the leg.
• Bow imperfection of L/666 and sway imperfection of L/285 where L is the overall height
including the jack.
Eccentric Loading
The allowable working load of legs loaded with
an eccentricity of e mm may be determined by
multiplying the value determined from the
charts by 1-(e/81)
Using this formula it is seen that an Alshor
Plus leg loaded by a single Albeam, placed
fully over to one side of the U-Head (56mm
load eccentricity) is only 31% of the value in
the charts. When single primary beams are
used fix them into the centre slot of the U-head
as soon as they are placed. Avoid Eccentric Loading!

ALSHOR PLUS
Lateral Restraint at the Top of the Structure

With the exception of the 700 series charts, allowable working loads are based on the equipment
being laterally restrained at the top, i.e. there is restraint at the top of the falsework to prevent it
from any lateral movement.
In design terms this means that the notional horizontal loads (2½% of the sum of the leg loads) and
any horizontal loads (wind, concrete pressures, impact etc) need to be resisted by a system
external to the falsework.
This is achieved by close cutting the soffit plywood around the permanent works columns and/or
walls of a structure (the Interface). In practice the stiffness of the reinforcement cage and the
placed concrete and the interlock between these and the tops of previously cast columns and walls
will also contribute to the fixing effect albeit to an unknown degree.
The use of top restrained design is widespread in the industry. The Interface itself will usually be
made up of non-RMDK supplied materials. Because of this and unless stated otherwise on the
RMDK scheme drawing, the design and construction of the Interface remains the responsibility of
the Customer.
The use of the permanent works to provide horizontal restraint will result in restraint loads being
transferred via the permanent works to the foundations. The behaviour and strength/stiffness of the
permanent works to resist these forces falls outside of RMD Kwikform knowledge. Because of this
it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that adequate checks are carried out.
At the free edges of a pour there may be areas where the Interface is unable to provide sufficient
horizontal restraint. In these regions edge restraint can be provided by the use of inclined RMDK
Ratchet Lashings (sheet 43). Ratchet lashings are stretchy and need to be tensioned using the
integral adjuster before pouring the concrete. Ratchet Lashings work only in tension and hence are
only able to restrain falsework in their line of action.
Where RMDK Technical Staff are of the opinion that the Interface will not provide sufficient
horizontal restraint, Ratchet Lashings will be indicated on the scheme drawing and provided with
the equipment. This assessment and provision does not remove the Customer’s responsibility to
check the adequacy of the Interface to provide horizontal restraint in other areas.

Where L>2D/3 No additional lateral restraint measures are required. For pours with slabs thicker
than 300mm checks shall be made to ensure that the force due to concrete pressure acting on the
edge formwork can be safely accommodated.
Where L<2D/3 and L>W link edge towers/tables to the internal rows of towers/tables at the top.
Links and the linked elements shall be designed to carry 2.5% of the vertical load in the edge
tables or 1% of this value plus the load from concrete pressure acting on the edge formwork.
Where the supported slab is 300mm thick or less, the rows of legs either side of the perimeter
columns do not need to be linked (broken lines). Where D is large it may be necessary to link the
first row of internal tables back to tables further under the pour until the 2D/3 criteria is satisfied.
Where L<W tie the edge table soffit down to the concrete slab using ratchet lashings at
approximately a 45 degree angle. Lashings shall be designed to carry 2.5% of the vertical load in
the edge tables or 1% of this value plus the load from concrete pressure acting on the edge
formwork. Where the supported slab is 300mm thick or less, the rows of legs adjacent to the
perimeter columns do not need to be lashed (broken line arrows). Carry out checks to ensure that
edge tables do not overturn or the soffit members tip up when live load is applied to the soffit

ALSHOR PLUS
Lateral Restraint of Free-standing Falsework

In this case ratchet lashings do not provide a sufficiently stiff restraint and Rapid Bar Tie tension
braces are used in crossed pairs to provide head fixity. It is economical if both ties can be anchored
to a common foundation as with the arrangement of bridge falsework below.
Relatively straight bridge decks may be top restrained longitudinally by virtue of the soffit being
jammed between abutments. The structure is likely to be freestanding laterally except local to
intermediate piers or columns, which may also provide top restraint. An access lift can be provided
between the falsework towers.

Leg Joint Rules

The position of joints between the leg sections in an Alshor Plus structure shall be checked during
the design process. Every lift of Alshor Plus leg sections shall be connected by a level of Alshor
Plus Frames (the leg must be connected to both the top and bottom of the frame). It is preferable to
select leg sections that are as long as possible to make up the completed leg length. E.g.
Individual props or structures with a single frame in the height shall be designed with a single leg
section. (I.e. no joints are allowed).
Joint Position
Structures designed with multiple frames in the height shall have no more leg sections in height
than the number of frames. At least one level of frames fully attached to each lift of legs etc.

Provided there is one level of frames attached to each level of legs then intermediate frames are
permitted to span over the joint in the leg.

ALSHOR PLUS
Optimising Brace Frame Positions

The 100 series charts for 4 frames in the height or more are plotted with equal separation between
the frames throughout the height of the tower. This will not always be convenient however and
rather than adding an additional layer of frames at close vertical separation, one or both of the
following methods can be used to minimise the number of frames in the height.
1. Lift the bottom frame by 500mm. Compensate for the reduction in load capacity that this brings
by adding 500mm to the measured base jack extension and read the allowable working load
from the relevant chart.
2. Interpolate between the charted lines for different frame separations: When a tower with mixed
frame separations is needed, begin with a tower with equal frame separations just shorter than
the required height and having a leg load capacity just higher than that required (left hand tower
below). To increase the height of the tower, first add 500mm to the frame separation mid height,
or just above mid height for towers with an odd number of frames (1). If further tower height is
needed add 500mm to the frame separation below the mid-height position (2). If further height is
again needed add 500mm to the frame separation above the mid height position (3). For towers
with more frames, 500mm can be added to subsequent frame separations alternatively below
and above the mid height of the tower to achieve the desired configuration.
For the example below the interpolation line drawn on the extract from chart 105 is shown in
green and is divided equally by the number of gaps between frames, in this case three. For
every frame separation which is increased by 500mm the allowable leg load is reduced by one
division.

Design of Falsework Tables

Alshor Plus towers may be linked with frames to make larger mobile falsework structures. Linking
frames should generally be placed at the same levels as those in the towers which may be fully
linked or partially linked. The additional frames provide no additional leg load capacity for the
completed structure but can be taken into account when checking lateral stability during the free-
standing stages of assembly/dismantling and during movement between pours. Where tables have
a height more than three times their minimum base dimension, check the free-standing stages for
wind overturning effects.
When the table is to be crane lifted or supported on castor units the frames enable the table
structure to span between the points of support. Ensure that all component connections during
these stages fall within allowable working loads.
Falsework tables should be plan braced to prevent them lozenging during movement. The plywood
soffit acts as a diaphragm to provide plan bracing at soffit level and may be sufficient for tables up
to 3.5m high. Tube plan braces should be added at the bottom of the structure for taller tables. For
tables over 12m high add a set of plan bracing mid height.
Provided the running surface is relatively flat, smooth and un-obstructed, mechanical assistance
should not be required when moving all but the heaviest tables.

Design of Craneable Table Tops

It is common site practice to assemble the falsework and table top separately and crane the table
top onto the falsework to complete the table. In some cases table tops may be separated during
movement and will anyway be parted again at dismantling time.
Where primary and secondary beams are detailed as a single length of beam no additional design
measures need be taken. For larger table tops, lapped or butted joints in primary beams are to be
avoided if possible (bolted Superslim joints are usually fine). Where the table plan size necessitates
lapped or butted secondary beams Take adequate measures to ensure that the table top can be
lifted safely e.g:
• use of dis-similar secondary beam lengths with staggered laps
• use of additional clipping at laps
• use of additional members to stiffen the table top
Consider how the table top is to be safely lifted. Identify the lifting points and how the lifting slings
are to be attached and show the weight of the table top. Do not use wedge clamps at soffit level.

• The maximum leg load in the tower does not exceed the mean load 14 7.19
by more than 20%. If this is the case the design leg load shall be
16 6.29
84% of the maximum leg load
18 5.59
• The maximum leg load does not exceed 120kN
20 5.03
• The primary beam can support the maximum reaction combined
with the applied bending moment 22 4.57
• The tables are used to form flat or nominally flat slabs of uniform 24 4.19
thickness 26 3.87
• The maximum leg load is shown on the scheme drawing as being 28 3.59
resisted by the foundation 30 3.35
Example:
68 72
A Individual Tower A is shown with the calculated leg loads in the
tower. The maximum leg load is 78kN. Use a design leg load for
this tower of 78kN
55 78
72
68 68 Linked Tower B is shown with the calculated leg loads. Loads are
of similar magnitude to those in tower A and the maximum leg
B load is again 78kN, however because this tower has more than
78 one falsework bay in both directions on plan, rule 2 can be used
55 55 to establish the design leg load:
Mean leg load = 67kN
Mean leg load x 1.2 = 80.4kN > 78kN
68 68
72 Hence the design leg load for this tower is 67kN

Lapped Primary Beam Rules

Where primary beams are lapped in the U heads, skew lapping Head Connection
is used to reduce load eccentricity. Where the primary beams
lap over one or two spans the Alshor Plus support grid remains Twin Albeam
rectangular. Where the primary beams lap over three or more
spans the support grid will need to be skewed slightly during
assembly to enable the primary beam to be clipped into the
central U-Head slot at each support. Tolerances in the
connection between the Alshor Plus Bracing Frame and the
pocket extrusion on the legs are sufficient to permit this.
Provided this discipline is followed on site the lapping of the

primary beams will not result in any reduction of allowable
working load for the structure.

Spanning of Floor Voids

Alshor Plus design charts are based on the falsework foundation being fixed in rotation.
Where Alshor Plus legs fall over a floor void use twin spanning beams across the void spaced
closely together with a suitable timber pack spanning between and at right angles to them. Ensure
the timber pack and the pair of spanning beams are placed centrally beneath the jacks.
DO NOT USE SINGLE SPANNING BEAMS!

Maximum allowable leg load for both configurations is 80kN.
Spanning beams are laterally unrestrained and are to be designed using an effective length of
1.4L+2D where L is the length of the void spanned and D is the depth of the spanning member.

ALSHOR PLUS
Alternative Falsework Arrangements.

Alshor Plus may be used outside of the scope of the published design charts in fixed at the head or
freestanding applications as individual towers, as a birdcage with frames at all levels or as multiple
towers linked by frames at a reduced number of levels. Analysis should be carried out to ensure
that all members and connections are working within published allowable working loads. Contact
RMD Kwikform Aldridge Head Technical Office for assistance.
For freestanding applications measures will likely be needed to either brace the structure between
frames (left) or alternatively to arrange the frames such that they are staggered in adjacent bays to
more fully brace the structure (right).

Series 100 Charts

Optimised top restrained towers for use in general falsework applications.
Charts for structures having 4 frames or more are plotted with equal separation
between the frames. Allowable working loads for unequal frame separations may be
found using the interpolation method described on page 47.
Use of top jacks should be avoided where possible (tables as tall as 15m high have
been used with great success without them.) For taller structures, or when customers
require top jack adjustment to enable final level adjustment, 750mm head jacks -
code ASX10030 (not inverted base jacks) may be added to the top of structures with
4-12 frames in height without load penalty* provided the jack extension in-situ does
not exceed 200mm. When designing using top jacks, show a top jack extension of
165mm and state on the drawing.
Top jack extension shown allows a final level adjustment of +/-35mm after
falsework erection. DO NOT EXCEED 200MM FINAL TOP JACK EXTENSION.
Where longer head jack extensions are required either use the series 400 charts with
un-braced head jacks or the series 500 charts with braced head jacks. Alternatively
the 100 series charts can be used without load penalty provided the head jacks are
braced for 2.5% of the vertical load
* The minimum jack extension case for the 100 series charts has been justified by
modelling the top of the head jacks so that the formwork presents such
partial resistance to rotation that the top may reach up to a maximum of 1.5 degrees
of rotation at failing load. This allows, also for manufacturing and assembly
tolerances.

Series 200 Charts

Influence factors read from these charts can be used to take account of varying the
frame size from the 1200mm value used to plot the 100 series charts.
Data is provided for 900mm frames (not available in some markets), 1800mm frames
and 2400/3000mm frames. Individual figures are not provided for 3000mm frames as
the improvement in load capacity resulting in increasing the frame size from 2400 to
3000mm is minor.
Towers built with a larger frame size have a lower slenderness than those with a
smaller frame size and as a result have a higher allowable working load. Conversely
towers built using 900mm frames are more slender than those with 1200mm frames
and as a result allowable working loads per leg are reduced.
E.G. for a 12 frame high tower with 1000mm frame separation and having 1200mm
frames and a 800mm base jack extension, chart 113 gives an allowable working load
of 76kN.
The allowable working load for the same tower having 2400mm frames can be found
using a factor from chart 214. Reading from this graph the influence factor is 1.2
resulting in an allowable working load for the wider tower of 1.2 x 76 = 91.2kN.
Similarly the allowable working load for a 4 frame high tower made with 1200mm
frames with 1000mm separation and a 600mm base jack extension is found from
chart 105 to be 97kN. The allowable working load for the same tower built using
900mm frames can be calculated using a factor of 0.815 found from chart 204 giving
an allowable working load of 97 x 0.815 = 79kN.
Where multi-bay towers are constructed with different frame sizes in neighbouring
bays take great care to use the correct frame size in the design. E.g. a 16 leg table
on a 4x4 grid having 4 towers built with 1200mm frames at the corners linked by
1800mm central frames shall be designed as a tower having 1200mm frames. The
same configuration with 1800mm frame towers at the corners linked by 1200mm
central frames may be designed as a tower having 1800mm frames.

ALSHOR PLUS
Series 300 Charts

Top restrained structures where the top frame has been lowered from the top lug
extrusion.
These structures are non-preferred as the allowable leg load is significantly reduced
from the values with the frame in the top position (see series 100 charts). It may
however be desirable to lower the top frame to admit a deep C-hook/frame lifting
device when craning tables. Note that the Alshor Plus Folding C-Hook can be used
with the frame in the top position.
When a boarded access is required at the top of the falsework this can usually be
provided between the towers enabling the frames in the towers to be positioned in
the top lug extrusion. It is not then required to provide a platform within the footprint
of each tower.

Top restrained towers with extended top jacks or inverted base jacks used at the top
and the jacks are effectively braced to resist 2.5% of the vertical load. The top of the
jack not shown braced is assumed to be connected to the braced jack by the soffit
formwork.
Top jacks should be avoided if possible due to the additional labour required to
operate them and access that needs to be provided. Bracing the top jacks improves
allowable working loads significantly and these arrangements can be useful where
sloping soffits are to be supported and heavier loads are present.
