A working wind of q = 0.2 kN/m2 should always be

assumed.
The aerodynamic wind pressure w is obtained by mul-
tiplying the dynamic pressure q with the force coeffi-
cient cf (as a rule, for wall formwork cp,net = 1.3).

in the longitudinal are different from those in the

is the longitudinal and which is the transverse
direction is by the direction of the lettering on

1) In accordance with EN 12812, this allows for a service load of 0.75 kN/m² and a variable load of 10 % of a massive concrete floor-slab, totalling

at least 0.75 kN/m² but no more than 1.75 kN/m² (assuming a unit weight of 25 kN/m³ for the fresh concrete). Mid-span deflection has been limited
to l/500. In the case of cavity flat-slab floors, significantly lower slab loads occur.

The horizontal load H and the vertical load V will influ-

ence:
● the force in the Stop-anchor "Z" (needs to be
known for correct dimensioning of the tie-rod), and
● the force in the concrete cone pull-out "N". This is
the force to which the concrete cone pull-out is sub-
jected, and which can be directly compared with the
permitted tensile forces of the Universal climbing
cone in the concrete.

Note:
Revised static calculations are required for the loads in
the stop-anchor "Z" and for the concrete cone pull-out
load "N".

Demarcation of work-zones
When combined with fence-feet baseblocks, the Edge
protection system XP can also be used to demarcate
different working areas within a jobsite.
Required spacing of the handrail posts: 2.50 m
(as the Protective gratings XP have to be mounted in a

Requirements for fence-feet baseblocks:

☞ Important note:
● This demarcation fence is not a fall-arrest
barrier as defined by EN 13374!
● Ensure that it has sufficient stability against
overturning, and allow for wind loads!
● When used as a safety guard and demarca-

placed min. 2.00 m from the drop-off edge!
● Observe all local Standards and regulations!
