Stripping cornerStripping cornerStripping cornerStripping cornerStripping corner

The stripping cornerallows gangs forelevator shafts andcore walls to be setand stripped withoutdisassembling thegangs (Fig. 42.1 and42.2).The stripping corner isdesigned with threepieces to permit inwardmovement when aturnbuckle connectionis retracted. Minimalcrane time is requiredbecause the strippingcorners turn all sides ofthe gang into onemoveable unit. Afterresetting the gang forthe next pour, theturnbuckles return thegang form to therectangular shape.

Stripping cornersallow easy stripping ofgangs adjacent tocorners or pilasters(Fig. 42.3).

Planning stagePlanning stagePlanning stagePlanning stagePlanning stageReasonable planning

and preparation arethe keys to a successfulapplication of anymodern formworksystems.

First of all, determinethe amount offormwork materialthat will be needed. Inthis regard severalfactors of influenceshould be taken intoaccount:• weight of the form-work to be handled• time allowed forassembly anddismantling• transportation of theformwork from onepour to the next –either panel by panel,or in gangs (whichconsiderably reducesforming time)• capacity of the liftingequipment• size of pours (takinginto account thenumber of corners etc.)

Once all theseaspects have beenconsidered, the quan-tities of formworkitems can be specified.

Assembly AreaAssembly AreaAssembly AreaAssembly AreaAssembly AreaThe area where the

formwork is set shouldbe clean, even andcapable of taking theexpected load.

Formwork AssemblyFormwork AssemblyFormwork AssemblyFormwork AssemblyFormwork AssemblyIn most cases it is

recommended to setthe outside formworkfirst. Always start at aconvenient locationand immediatelyattach a brace to thepanels set in place. Ifyou choose to pre-assemble large-sizegangs on the ground,attach braces andworking scaffoldbefore lifting thewhole unit. You shouldhave a flat surface forthe pre-assembly.

Don’t forget to spraythe alkus face withrelease agent.

Panel connectionPanel connectionPanel connectionPanel connectionPanel connectionIn general the 4’ and

8’ high panels are con-nected at the verticaljoint using 2 assemblylocks, while 12’ highpanels are connectedwith 3 assembly locks.

Exception: outsidecorners are connectedto the adjacent panelsas follows:• outside corner 4’ high:2 assembly locks• outside corner 8’ high:3 assembly locks• outside corner 12‘ high:5 assembly locks

After setting andbracing the outsideformwork:• mark the pouringheight• install blockouts andreinforcement• when usingthreadbars install atie in all tie locations• install PVC sleevesover the ties• set the inside form-work• tighten theformwork, usingeither standard orarticulated flangenuts on both sides ofthe tie.

StrippingStrippingStrippingStrippingStrippingWhen short wall

sections (≤ 20') areinvolved, be sure toinstall a filler, or ifpossible use strippingcorners while assem-bling the formwork(Fig. 44.2). This allowseasy stripping.

In all other casesstart stripping at oneend or at a corner.

Flange nuts and tiesare removed sectionby section. The side ofthe formworkwithout braces mustbe stripped imme-diately or otherwisesecured in order toprevent the panelsfrom tilting over. Thepanel units arestripped by removingthe assembly locksfrom the panel joints.

If the formwork ishandled manually,remove workingscaffold and bracesprior to dismantling thepanels.

If the formwork ishandled by crane,working scaffold andbraces can remain onlarge-size gangs. Thedismantled units arecleaned in uprightposition and releaseagent is applied beforemoving them to the nextpour.

When there is nofurther use for thelarge-size gangs theyshould be placed facedown to removescaffolding and braces.The panels are cleanedon the ground andstacked for transport(for example, withtransport angles).

Description Crane slings Stapos 60

Ref.-no. 29-403-25

Weight 9.9 lbs

Color green

Adm. load-bearing capacity per sling 2,200 lbs

Adm. stack weight 4,400 lbs

For frame profile width 2 3/8"

Max. stack height 10 panels

Max. stack height for Imperial 8'x8' = 5 panelslarge size panels Imperial 12'x8' = 3 panels

While transportingthe stack by crane theload-bearing capacityis uniformly distributedto all slings. Just oneperson is required forattachment and re-moval of the slings.

AttentionAttentionAttentionAttentionAttentionThe Stapos crane

slings may be used onlyin conjunction withdouble-rope cranedevices in compliancewith applicable safetyregulations. If panelwidth exceeding 6'-6"a four-rope cranedevice is imperative(Fig. 51.1).

be used with any four-rope crane device avail-able on the constructionsite to transport stacksof panels (alwaysuse 4 hooks at a time).

To calculate theadmissible load-bearingcapacity assume only 2hooks.

dimension exceeds2 13/32" the cranehook must be replacedimmediately. (Fig. 54.5)

Replace it even if onlyone side of the hookexceeds this dimension.

SafetySafetySafetySafetySafetyregulationsregulationsregulationsregulationsregulations

When using ourproducts the federal,state and local codesand regulations mustbe observed.

The admissible loadof a crane hook (Fig.54.1) is 3,300 lbs.

The handling is verysimple: Open thesafety lever as far aspossible (Fig. 54.2).Then push the cranehook over the panelprofile until the clawengages completely inthe groove. Move thesafety lever back tothe starting position tolock the crane hook(Fig. 54.3).

When moving gangs(Fig. 54.4), make surethat each crane hook isattached at a paneljoint or above astiffener (whenhorizontally stacked).This avoids displace-ment of the cranehook. For moreillustrations see page36.
