Elementary safety warnings

Symbols usedThe following symbols are used in this booklet:

MiscellaneousWe reserve the right to make alterations in the inter-ests of technical progress.

Unless otherwise stated, all dimensions are givenin cm.

Doka products and systems must be set up insuch a way that all loads acting upon them aresafely transferred!

The stability of all components and units mustbe ensured during all phases of the construc-tion work!

Provide safe workplaces for those using theformwork (e.g. for when it is being erected/dis-mantled, modified or repositioned etc). It mustbe possible to get to and from these workplacesvia safe access routes!

Do not exceed the permitted fresh-concretepressures. Excessively high pouring rates leadto formwork overload, cause greater deflectionand risk causing breakage.

Do not strike the formwork until the concretehas reached sufficient strength and the personin charge has given the order for the formworkto be struck!

When striking the formwork, never use thecrane to break concrete cohesion. Use suitabletools such as timber wedges, special pry-barsor system features such as Framax strippingcorners.

When striking the formwork, do not endangerthe stability of any part of the structure, or ofany scaffolding, platforms or formwork that isstill in place!

Observe all regulations applying to the hand-ling of formwork and scaffolding. In addition,the Doka slinging means must be used - this isa mandatory requirement.

Remove any loose parts or fix them in place sothat they cannot be dislodged or fall free!

All connections must be checked regularly toensure that they still fit properly and are func-tioning correctly.It is very important to check all screw-type con-nections and wedge-clamped joins wheneverthe construction operations require (particu-larly after exceptional events such as storms),and to tighten them if necessary.

All components must be stored safely, follow-ing all the special Doka instructions given in therelevant sections of this User Information book-let!

Alu-Framax Xlife - the crane-independent variantof Framax Xlife

Alu-Framax Xlife is a complete system with high-performance safety and working accessories. Thepanels are lightweight and handy, and so can bequickly erected by hand.

The system uses only a very few different sizes ofpanel to obtain a consistent 15 cm increment-grid.The connecting devices and accessories are alsodesigned to fit in with this increment-grid.The innovative plastic coating of the Xlife sheetenables it to be re-used intensively, with superbconcrete results every time.

Alu-Framax Xlife is ideal for use on: walls columns circular formwork foundations

A range of practical accessories makes work onthe site a lot easier and does away with the needfor costly in-situ improvisations.Alu-Framax Xlife is 100% compatible with Doka'sframed formwork Framax Xlife. All the linkingparts, closures and accessories are interchangea-ble, of course.With Framax Xlife, you can form large areas withcrane-shifted gangs, and then continue formingmanually with Alu-Framax Xlife, without having towait for the crane.

Wall formwork

Forming walls with Alu-Framax XlifeWith the Doka framed formwork Alu-Framax Xlife,you can achieve perfect forming results even with-out a crane.

The exceptionally high loadability and long lifespanof Alu-Framax Xlife make it highly economical forall wall-forming tasks.

Alu-Framax is unusually versatile and flexible, soyou can quickly form any layout with it.

The panels can be fixed together at any pointaround the frame, quickly and safely, using theFramax quick-acting clamp RU or the multi-functionclamp.

Because the Alu-Framax Xlife panels are so robust,you only need 2 form-ties per 2.70 m of panelheight.

Any fitting-gaps left between the Alu-Framax Xlifepanels are very easy to close. The system gives youa choice between several different options so thatyou can always get the best possible length adjust-ment in each case.

Alu-Framax Xlife also takes corners, stop-end form-work and wall junctions happily in its stride. Heretoo, it gives you perfect, cost-saving solutions.

Matching safety and working accessories makework with Alu-Framax even quicker and easier.

Wall formwork User information Doka framed formwork Alu-Framax Xlife

Instructions for assembly and use

Alu-Framax as a hand-moved form-workThe sequence shown here is based on a straightwall. However, you should always start to formfrom the corner outwards.Ladders must be located so as to create viable "traf-fic routes" in the horizontal. (On a straight wall, forexample, one ladder on the first element andanother on the last).

Transporting / handling the panels

For offloading panels from a truck, or lifting themon-site a stack at a time, use the Framax transportgear (see "Transporting, stacking and storing").

Erecting the formwork

Spray the ply with release agent (see "Cleaning

and care"). Fix the first panel to the ground with a panel strut(see the section headed "Plumbing accessories").This stabilises the panel so that it cannot fallover.

Continue lining up panels in this way, clampthem together (see "Inter-panel connections")and attach panel struts.The gang-form is now stable and can be plumbedand aligned exactly.

Erecting the opposing formwork:

Once the reinforcement has been placed, the form-work can be closed.

Spray the form-ply of the opposing formworkwith release agent.

Stand up the first panel of the opposing form-work. Fit the form-ties (see "Form-tie system"). Now the

opposing formwork is also secured against top-pling over.

In the same way, carry on lining up panels,clamping them together and fitting form-ties.

Mount the pouring platform (see "Pouring plat-forms with single brackets").

Fix the attachable ladder to the pouring platformto prevent it tipping over.

Attach end-of-platform sideguards and opposingguard-rails (see "Pouring platforms with singlebrackets").

Caution!

Never use a sledge hammer to plumb thepanels!This would damage the profiles of the pan-els.Use only proper plumbing tools (e.g. a

special pry-bar) that cannot cause any

damage!

Pouring

Pour the concrete.Make only moderate use of vibrators, carefully

co-ordinating the times and locations of vibratoruse.

Striking

Remove the end-of-platform sideguards, pouringplatform and opposing guard-rails.

Beginning with the opposite formwork, dismountthe panels one-by-one - take out the form-tiesand remove the connectors to the neighbouringpanel.

Lift the panel away and clean concrete residue offthe ply (see "Cleaning and care").

Alu-Framax as a crane-moved form-workLarge multi-panel elements can be pre-assembledface-down on a level screed floor. See "Verticalstacking of elements" for detailed instructions on

how to attach the interpanel connectors.These multi-panel elements can be lifted usingcrane-hoisting gear and the Framax lifting hook. Fordetailed instructions see Section "Resetting bycrane" and the Operating Manual for the Framaxlifting hook..

Do not exceed the maximum permissible

rate of placing. See also "Concrete pressure on perpen-

dicular formwork to DIN 18218" in theDoka Calculation Guide.

Permitted concrete pressure: 60 kN/m2

Concrete compaction by vibration mustcomply with DIN 4235 Part 2.

Observe the stipulated striking times.

Max. load- bearing capacity:

1000 kg / Framax lifting hook(feasible formwork area with 2 lifting hooks =approx. 30 m )

If "hybrid" gang-forms (containing both Alu-Framax Xlife + Framax Xlife panels) arelifted and reset by crane, they must be givenadditional stiffening reinforcement.Do not exceed the permitted design valuesof the Alu-Framax Xlife connector compo-nents! (see "Inter-panel connections")

Adaptability

Possible combinationsThe perfect panel size-grid gives you innumerablecombinations, in both width and height. You canuse the panels either upright or horizontal, and the15 cm increment-grid gives you optimum adapta-

bility of the formwork to the dimensions of thestructure, at all times.

Schematic representation

Stepless height offset

The fixing bead around the inside of the profilesenables the connectors to be fastened anywhere onthe frame. This allows adjacent panels to bestagge-

redin height continuously, i.e. without being con-fined to any fixed grid. This means that the form-work can easily be accommodated to e.g. steps,slopes and uneven floors, at no extra cost in termsof time.

Schematic representation

Carry on forming with in-situ timber

Alu-Framax formwork gives you easy connectionswhen you need to "fill-in" with in-situ timber form-work. Between them, the universal waling, thewedge clamp and the integrated bolt system makeit easy for you to join Alu-Framax panels to squaredtimbers and ply sheets.

Notes




Form-tie system

Placing form-ties in the frame profile The Doka form-tie system 15.0

As an alternative to the plastic tube with universalcone, there is also a distancer in the form of a com-

plete form-tie sheathing tube.

The stoppers for plugging the distancers are alsoincluded.

Note:

Doka also offer economical solutions for makingwatertight form-tie points.

In general:

Fix a form-tie in every form-tie sleeve that is notcovered over by a super-plate.

Always tie in the bigger (wider) of the two panels.

For exceptions, see the sections headed "Lengthadjustment using closures" and "Vertical stackingof panels".

Stop-end formworkThere are 2 possible ways of forming stop-ends: with universal panels with universal walings

with Universal walings

Universal walings make it possible to form stop-ends continuously across any thickness of wall.

There are 2 possible ways offastening the univer-sal walings: with universal fixing bolts with stop-end ties

Universal fixing bolts

The universal walings are mounted using universal-fixing bolts and super-plates 15.0 fixed through the-

cross boreholes in the Alu-Framax Xlife panels 0.55and 0.60m / Alu-Framax Xlife universal panels.

Stop-end ties

The universal walings or multi-purpose walings arefastened using Framax stop-end ties and super-plates. This enables you to form stop-ends continu-ously, even across large thicknesses of wall.

For details regarding inter-panel connec-tions near stop-ends (for increased tensileloads), see "Inter-panel connections forincreased tensile loads".

Panel struts ensure that the formwork remains sta-ble against wind loads, and make it easier to plumband align the formwork.

Number of panel struts on 2.70 m wide gang-form:

*) Up to a height of 3.30 m, the spacing of the props can beextended to 4.05 m apart.

The values given here apply up to a height of 8 m above the sur-rounding ground. For heights of more than 8 m, the correct spac-ing of the props must be calculated as required by the higherwind loads.

Note:

Every gang-form must be supported by at least 2panel struts.

Example:Where the formwork height is 5.10 m, the following

are needed for every 5.40 m wide gang-form: 2 Panel struts 540

Connection in the waling profile

Product features:

Can be telescoped in 8 cm increments Fine adjustment by screw-thread All parts are captively integrated - including the

telescopic tube (has safety stop to preventdropout)

Important note:

The formwork panels must be held stable inevery phase of the construction work!Please observe all applicable safety regula-tions!

Caution!

There is a risk of the formwork tipping overin high winds. If high wind speeds are likely, and when

work finishes for the day or before pro-longed work-breaks, always take extraprecautions to fix the formwork in place.

Suitable precautions:- set up the opposing formwork- place the formwork against a wall- anchor the formwork to the ground

Lifting the platform onto the formwork:

Attach a four-part lifting tackle (e.g. Doka 4-partchain 3.20m) to the pouring platform and hoist ittowards the formwork.

Fix the pouring platform to the top of the form-work.

Detach the four-part lifting tackle.The safety hooks latch into place automatically.

The pouring platform is now secured against acci-

dental lift-out.


Only fix the pouring platform onto formwork con-

structions that are sufficiently stable to transferthe expected loads.

Shore the formwork in a windproof manner whenerecting it and when it is temporarily placed in thestanding position.

Ensure that the formwork gang has sufficient stiff-ness.

Observe all applicable safety regulations.

If the formwork is lifted with the pouring

platform still mounted to it, the platform

must be secured so that it cannot slip toeither side. It is NOT allowed to place the formwork

on its side while the pouring platform isstill mounted!

In vertically stacked configurations withhorizontal panels, these must also be tiedat the top edge when used with pouringplatforms!

For length adjustments, it may be neces-sary to place floor planking as a bridge(max. 50 cm) between two platforms.Minimum plank overlap: 25 cm.

formwork and platforms, or secure them firmly.

How to operate the lifting hook

1) Raise the handle (locking lever) as far as it will go.2) Push the lifting hook onto the frame profile as far

as the rear stop, and close the handle (spring-loaded).

3) When the panels are lifted by the crane, a load-dependent locking mechanism is activated.

Transporting, stacking and storing

Bundling the panels1) Place sleepers (W x H approx. 8.0 x 10.0) under

the cross-profile.2) Strap the sleepers and the bottom framed panel

together with strapping tapes.

3) Insert Framax stacking cones.The stacking cones secure the panels against

slippage.

4) Strap the whole stack together tightly with strap-ping tape.

Transporting the panels

Dokamatic lifting strap 13.00m

The Lifting strap 13.00m is a practical tool for load-ing and offloading lorries (trucks), and for lifting

and setting down stacks of panels.

Framax transport gear

For safe crane transport of panel stacks on buildingsites, builder's yards etc.

The four round slings of the transport gear hold thestack together on all four sides, in such a way that itis impossible for individual panels to slip out.

Advantages: Spring-loaded slinging hooks reach from under-

neath into the beads of the panel frame and pre-

Warning!

The smooth surface of the powder-coatedpanels reduces the sticking friction. It is strictly forbidden to lift stacks of pan-

els without inserting Framax stackingcones (2 cones per layer) first!

Exception: Stacking cones are not requiredif the stack is lifted using the "Framax trans-port gear".

Caution!

Stack max. 8 panels on top of one another(results in a stack height, incl. sleepers, ofapprox. 110 cm).

Position the first panel and brace it with panelstruts.

Join the second panel to the first, and attach apanel strut.

Plumb and align this formwork-half with thepanel struts.

Add two more panels to close the formwork.

Striking:

First remove the panels that are not attached to apanel strut, and place them face-down for inter-

mediate storage.Undo the inter-panel connections of the form-work-half.

Undo the ground anchors of the panel struts. Place the panels face-down for intermediate stor-

age.

Doka column formwork platform 150/90cm

Product description

The main features: This pre-assembled, ready-to-use platform

ensures convenient and safe working on columnformworks. It can be used on columns of anycross-section.- with Alu-Framax Xlife: from 25x25 to 60x60cm- with Framax Xlife: from 25x25 to 75x75cm

The slinging points recessed into the deckingmake it a quick and easy job to lift the platform bycrane. Only one column formwork platform canbe used on each column!

Because the platform can be re-suspended soquickly, it can "migrate" from one formwork tothe next during concreting. This means that oneplatform is sufficient to serve several column

formworks. The practical swing-out side railings make it easy

to get on or off the platform. Both the side rail-ings can be fixed in either the open or closedposition.

Transporting, stacking and storingThe Doka column-formwork platforms are pre-assembled and are easy to transport and store inthe folded-down position - it is not possible forthem to slide sideways.

Circular formwork

Circular formwork

The quick way to form "in the round" - the Framaxcircular forming plates will get your framed form-work "around" any curve!

With the Framax circular forming plates and theAlu-Framax Xlife panels, "circular" (i.e. polygonal)structures can be formed.

A particularly cost-cutting factor in practice is thefact that you can use your existing Alu-Framax Xlife

panels and all accessories such as panel struts andworking platforms from the Alu-Framax Xlife range.

This makes circular forming of curved concretestructures with Framax circular forming plates uni-versal, economical and fast.

Design of the circular formworkBy combining the Framax circular forming plateswith the Alu-Framax Xlife panels, round structuresof any radius can be formed.

In the same way as with the wall formwork, all that

is needed to connect the Framax circular formingplates to the Alu-Framax Xlife panels is the quickacting clamp RU - and a blow of the hammer.
