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

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

Considering height of 1.5 M and pouring rate of 0.8 m/h

Therefore the design pressure:

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

= 25 [1.5 √0.8 + 0.45 x 1 √ 1.5 – 1.5 √0.8 ] KN/m2

= 38.018 KN/m2 , D h = 25 x 1.5= 37.50 KN/m2
Taking Maximum value i.e. 38.018 KN/m2
𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥
At = from top.
𝐷

And the pressure envelope is as follows

1.5m

Pmax = 38.018KN/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) =300 mm

Loading Intensity 0.10 KN/M run:

38.018 KN/M2 x 0.10m= 3.801 KN/M

Check through Bending Stress, Shear & Allowable Deflection

Max. Bending Moment BM = WL2 = 3.801*0.30*0.30 = 0.0342 KN-M

10 10

Max. Shear Force V = 0.60WL = 0.60*3.801*0.30 = 0.684 KN

Allowable Deflection δ = L/270 = 300/270 = 1.11 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 = 0.0342*1000*1000 = 6.336 N/mm2

Z 5400

6.336 N/mm < 17.58 N/mm ------------------------------- (SAFE)

Shear stress Fvr = VQ = 0.684*1000*4050 = 0.570 N/mm2

Max. Deflection δmax WL4 = 3.801* (300)4 = 0.95 mm

145EI 145*4600*48,600

0.95 mm < 1.11 mm -------------------------------- (SAFE)

B) CHECK FOR ALUMINIUM:

Technical data of Aluminum

Max Span (Length of Secondary) = 0.8M (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= 800/360= 2.22 mm.

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

Moment of Inertia (I) =458.160423 cm4

Maximum UDL on Secondary beam = 0.3x 38.018

= 11.405 KN/M

Check for Shear Force, Bending Moment & Deflection

Max. Bending Moment BM = WL2 = 11.405*0.8*0.8 = 0.729 KNM

10 10

Max B.M= 0.729 KNM < 8.75 KNM (SAFE)

Max. Shear Force V = 0.60WL = 0.60*11.405*0.8 = 5.474 KN

Max S.F= 5.474 KN < 45.11 KN (SAFE)

Max. Deflection δmax WL4 = 11.405 * (800)4 = 0.100mm

145EI 145*70000*4581604

Max Deflection= 0.100 mm < 2.22 mm (SAFE)

C) CHECK FOR STEEL WALER:

Maximum Span of Waler =0.8m

Allowable Deflection = L/360= 800/360= 2.22 mm.

Load on Waler =2 x Reaction from Secondary

= 2 x 5.474 =10.948 KN @0.25m c/c

Therefore from the above result for primary beam:

Max S.F= 20.53 KN < 100 KN (SAFE)

Max B.M= 3.42 KNM < 11.4 KNM (SAFE)

Max Deflection= 0.26 mm< 2.22 mm (SAFE)

D) CHECK FOR TIE ROD:

Max Tensile force on Tie rod = 38.018 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 24.331 KN < 70Kn (Safe)

E) CHECK FOR PUSH PULL

A) DESIGN WIND SPEED (VS):

Design wind speed as per BS 5975 Clause 4.51.3 is given by

 The design wind speed Vs in m/s for Height of 3.0m is given by the

expression

Vs = V S1 S2 S3

Where,

V = is the basic wind speed in m/s (45m/s)

S1 = topography factor for wind (0.9) from clause 4.5.1.4 BS 5975

S2 = ground surface condition (0.73) from Table 3 of CP3

S3 = statistical factor (0.77) from Table 12 of BS 5975

Applying these values,

Vs = 45*0.9*0.73*0.77

= 22.765 m/s

B) DYNAMIC WIND PRESSURE (Q):

 Having calculated the design wind speed the dynamic wind pressure as

per BS 5975, Table 13 gives us 297 N/M2

These wind pressure have to be taken by TILT UP SHORE safely given by,

Q=297N/M2

X=2.80MT

X’= 2.5MT

 Forces which is to be carried by Tilt up Shore is the wind force and

weight of the formwork

Wp = weight of formwork + wind force

Weight of formwork as per BS 5975 = 0.5KN/M2

= 0.50*(3.0*1.5) =2.25 KN

Wind force = 297*(3.0*1.5) =1336 N = 1.336KN

F) CHECK FOR HORIZONTAL FORCE:

Check for Shear Capacity of the 16mm Bar:

The shear force of the Bar should not be greater than the shear capacity given as per
BS 5950 Clause 4.2.3
PV=0.6*PY*A
PY = Design Strength of the bar = 460N/mm2
(Considering S 460 Grade of Steel)
A= Area of the cross section = 𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟 2
