Preassembly of STB units

Assembly area
The area where the
formwork and STB units
ares pre-assembled
should be clean, even
and capable of taking
the expected weight.
The support frames are
attached at the backside
of the formwork panels
(Fig. 6.1).

Assembly
¢ The support frame can
be attached to the form-
work at the tie holes Fig. 6.1
with fixing screws 35
and flange nuts 100 or
it can be screwed to the
multi-function profiles of

screws 18.
¢ The pre-assembled
units should rest on
square timbers (face
down) on the ground
before they are flown
into place.

Diagonal bracing

Scaffold tubes with

Ø 48,3 x 4,05 mm, bolt-
on couplers 48/M14 and
swivel-joint couplers
48/48 are necessary
to build the required
diagonal bracing.

Units built out of

STB 300 frames only
need 1 horizontal tube
(Fig. 7.1)

Units built out of

STB 450 frames need
2 horizontal and 1
diagonal scaffold tube
(Fig. 7.2).

If height extensions are

used, one additional

per height extension is
required from the sec-
ond height extension on

Working platforms

IThe scaffolding brackets

90 and 125 together with
guard-railing posts can be
used to build a working
platform. The procedure
is as with a two-sided wall
formwork. For details see
the Technical Instruction
Manual of the formwork
you are using. For a safe
access to the platform
we recommend using the
MEVA Stair Tower.

Admissible load
150 kg/m², scaffold group
2 according to DIN 4420,

with classification SH 10. Attachment of boards at scaffolding bracket with bolts ∅ 10 mm and a minimum length of 110 mm

STB 450
When using the STB 450
support frame we recom-
mend bolting planks or
boards to the support
frame or height exten-
sion (Fig 8.3 and 8.4). The
holes for the attachment
of height extensions can
be used. The STB 450 and
height extensions 150
provide pockets for slid-
ing in the guard-railing
posts.

Platform layout
Since the STB units can be
built in a flexible way and
combined with different
formwork systems with
different heights, check
and determine in the
planning stage what plat-
form layout will be used.
Make sure to observe the
maximum permissible fall

Anchoring

Depending on the load,

there are different ways
to anchor the support
frames:
¢ Anchor loop 15 (20)
in combination with
the cross stiffener 44
(Fig. 9.1 and 9.2).
¢ Anchor loop in turned
configuration if support
frame sits on top of a
slab, see fig. 9.2 for an
example. It needs to be
discussed with the stress
analyst if an additional
rebar is required.
¢ Anchoring by using a
20 or 26,5 mm threadbar
Fig. 9.1 Fig. 9.2 and twin channel 80 or
245 (Fig. 9.4).

Anchoring auxiliary

The anchoring auxil-

iary STB facilitates the
installing of threadbars
into the foundation. The
auxiliaries are attached
to the rebar and guar-
antee an angle of 45°.
The threadbar can be
slid through the aux-
iliary at any position,
which allows adapt-
ing to any foundation
size. The plastic sleeve
(DW 15 without thread, Fig. 12.1
DW 20 and DW 26,5
with thread) keeps the
threadbar at the ideal
position.

Crane ganging

For crane ganging, each

panel must be attached
to the support frame
STB 300 or STB 450.

STB 300 units

STB 300 units with a
maximum width of
3,50 m are moved by
using the crane hook
of the wall formwork
system which is used
(Fig. 18.1 and 18.2).
Make sure to always use
2 crane hooks and watch
their capacity.

STB 450 units

The STB 450 and exten-
sion 150 are equipped
with crane eyes. When
flying STB 450 units with
extensions, crane slings
should be used and be Fig. 18.1 Mammut and STB 300 Fig. 18.2 StarTec and STB 300
attached at the crane
eyes of the top exten-
sion (Fig. 18.3 and 18.4).

Attention
¢ Do not strip STB units
by breaking them free
from the concrete by
crane!
¢ When setting STB
units down to the
ground make sure
they do not tilt over. If
necessary use a counter
weight.

Moving STB units with trolley

STB units can easily

and quickly be moved
around on the job with
the trolley waler if a
crane cannot be used,
e.g. in tunnels. The
trolley waler can be
mounted to the STB 300
and STB 450.

Attention
The support frames must
not stand on trolley
spindles while pouring.
When using the STB 300
make sure to remove the
trolley waler adjacent
to the panels; otherwise
anchoring is not pos-
sible. Observe the trolley
waler instructions.

Assembly of the
Fig. 19.1 STB 300 with trolley waler Fig. 19.2 STB 300 with trolley waler trolley waler
The trolley waler is
bolted to the support
frames (counter plates
and nuts are already
attached to the waler).

STB
When moving the unit, a
counter weight is neces-
sary to avoid tilting over
(the weight depends on
the formwork height
and support frame). One
unit requires 2 trolley
walers, 4 wheel adapt-
ers and 4 trolley spindles
48/70. Depending on the
weight, 4 swivel type
castors of 2 or 6 or 10
tons are required. The
wheels are mounted to
the waler by raising the
unit with the spindle.
