Modulus of Elasticity E = 4600 N/ mm2

Aluminum Beam:
Allowable Bending Moment = 8.75 KN-m
Allowable Shear Force = 45.11 KN

Waler:

3) CALCULATION OF PRESSURE ON FORMWORK (TWO SIDES):

The following is an extract from CIRIA Report 108 for Calculating Concrete Pressure on
Formwork:

Considering height of 3.65m and pouring rate of 0.5 m/h

Therefore the design pressure:

Pmax = D [C1 √ R + C2 K √ H - C1 √ R ] KN/m2

= 25 [1 √ 0.5 + 0.45 x 1 √ 3.7- 1 √ 0.5 ] KN/m2

= 37.14 KN/m2 , D h = 25 x 3.7= 92.5 KN/m2
Taking lesser value i.e. 37.14 KN/m2
Pmax
At = from top.
D
And the pressure envelope is as follows

1.486 m
5m
3.7m

Pmax = 37.14 KN/m2

Based on the above pressure we check for the safety of Plywood, distance between Primary
walers, spacing of Aluminum beams and Load on Tie Rod.

A) CHECK FOR PLYWOOD:

Technical data of plywood
Modulus of Elasticity E = 4600 N/mm2
(Cross grain)
Allowable Shear = 4.83 N/mm2

Considering Plywood Strip 10cm

Width of plywood strip = 0.10m
Span of plywood
(B/w Secondary beam) =260 mm

Loading Intensity 0.10 KN/M run:

37.14 KN/M2 x 0.10m= 3.71 KN/M

Check through Bending Stress, Shear & Allowable Deflection

Max. Bending Moment BM = WL2 = 3.7*0.262 = 0.0251 KN-M

10 10

Max. Shear Force V = 0.60WL = 0.60*3.7*0.26 = 0.579 KN

Allowable Deflection δ = L/270 = 260/270 = 0.963 mm

For 0.10m strip * 18mm thick of Plywood

Section modulus Z =bd2/6 =100(18)2/6 = 5400mm3

Moment of Inertia Ixx =bd3/12 =100(18) 3/12 = 48600mm4
Moment Area about N/A axis Q =100*9*9/2 = 4050mm3
Width of plywood strip B = 100mm

Bending Stress Fbr = M = 0.0251*1000*1000 = 4.64 N/mm2

Z 5400
2 2
4.64 N/mm < 17.58 N/mm ------------------------------- (SAFE)

Shear stress Fvr = VQ = 0.579*1000*4050 = 0.48 N/mm2

IxxB 48600*100
0.48 N/mm2 < 4.83 N/mm2 --------------------------- (SAFE)

Max. Deflection δmax WL4 = 3.71 * (260)4 = 0.52 mm

145EI 145*4600*48,600

0.52 mm < 0.96 mm -------------------------------- (SAFE)

B) CHECK FOR ALUMINIUM:

Technical data of Aluminum

Max Span (Length of Secondary) = 1.3M (i.e. max distance between two primary horizontal Walers)

Allowable Shear Force = 45.11 KN

Allowable Bending Moment on Aluminum = 8.75 KNM

Allowable Deflection = L/360= 1300/360= 3.611 mm.

Modulus of Elasticity (E) =70,000 N/mm2

Moment of Inertia (I) =458.160423 cm4

Maximum UDL on Secondary beam = 0.26x 37.14

= 9.65KN/M
Check for Shear Force, Bending Moment & Deflection

Max. Bending Moment BM = WL2 = 9.65*1.3*1.3 = 1.63KNM

10 10

Max B.M= 1.63 KNM < 8.75 KNM (SAFE)

Max. Shear Force V = 0.60WL = 0.60*9.65*1.3 = 7.53 KN

Max S.F= 7.53 KN < 45.11 KN (SAFE)

Max. Deflection δmax WL4 = 9.65* (1300)4 = 0.593mm

145EI 145*70000*4581604

Max Deflection= 0.59 mm < 3.611mm (SAFE)

C) CHECK FOR STEEL WALER:

Maximum Span of Waler =0.85m

Allowable Deflection = L/360= 850/360= 2.36 mm.

Load on Waler =2 x Reaction from Secondary

= 2 x 7.53=15.06 KN @0.26m c/c

Therefore from the above result for primary beam:

Max S.F= 27.64 KN < 100 KN (SAFE)

Max B.M= 5.21 KNM < 11.4 KNM (SAFE)

Max Deflection= 0.02 mm< 2.36 mm (SAFE)

D) CHECK FOR TIE ROD:

Max Tensile force on Tie rod = 37.14x 1.3 x 0.85 =41.03 KN < 70KN (Safe)
