IntroductionElementary safety warnings

User target groups● This User Information booklet (Method Statement) is

aimed at everyone who will be working with the Doka product or system it describes. It contains informa-tion on the standard design for setting up this sys-tem, and on correct, compliant utilisation of the sys-tem.

● All persons working with the product described herein must be familiar with the contents of this man-ual and with all the safety instructions it contains.

● Persons who are incapable of reading and under-standing this booklet, or who can do so only with dif-ficulty, must be instructed and trained by the cus-tomer.

● The customer is to ensure that the information mate-rials provided by Doka (e.g. User Information book-lets, Instructions for Assembly and Use, Operating Instruction manuals, plans etc.) are available to all users, and that they have been made aware of them and have easy access to them at the usage location.

● In the relevant technical documentation and form-work utilisation plans, Doka shows the workplace safety precautions that are necessary in order to use the Doka products safely in the usage situations shown. In all cases, users are obliged to ensure compliance with national OH&S (occupational health and safety) rules throughout the entire project and to take appro-priate additional or alternative workplace safety pre-cautions where necessary.

Hazard assessment● The customer is responsible for drawing up, docu-

menting, implementing and continually updating a hazard assessment at every job-site. This document serves as the basis for the site-spe-cific hazard assessment, and for the instructions given to users on how to prepare and utilise the sys-tem. It does not substitute for these, however.

Remarks on this document● This User Information booklet can also be used as a

generic method statement or incorporated with a site-specific method statement.

● Many of the illustrations in this booklet show the situation during formwork assembly and are therefore not always complete from the safety point of view.Any safety accessories not shown in these illustra-tions must still be used by the customer, in accord-ance with the applicable rules and regulations.

● Further safety instructions, especially warnings, will be found in the individual sections of this document!

Planning● Provide safe workplaces for those using the form-

work (e.g. for when it is being erected/dismantled, modified or repositioned etc). It must be possible to get to and from these workplaces via safe access routes!

● If you are considering any deviation from the details and instructions given in this booklet, or any application which goes beyond those described in the booklet, then revised static cal-culations must be produced for checking, as well as supplementary assembly instructions.

Rules applying during all phases of the assignment:● The customer must ensure that this product is

erected and dismantled, reset and generally used for its intended purpose under the direction and super-vision of suitably skilled persons with the authority to issue instructions. These persons' mental and physical capacity must not in any way be impaired by alcohol, medicines or drugs.

● Doka products are technical working appliances which are intended for industrial/commercial use only, always in accordance with the respective Doka User Information booklets or other technical docu-mentation authored by Doka.

● The stability of all components and units must be ensured during all phases of the construction work!

● The functional/technical instructions, safety warn-ings and loading data must all be strictly observed and complied with. Failure to do so can cause acci-dents and severe (even life-threatening) damage to health, as well as very great material damage.

● Fire-sources are not permitted anywhere near the formwork. Heating appliances are only allowed if properly and expertly used, and set up a safe dis-tance away from the formwork.

● The work must take account of the weather condi-tions (e.g. risk of slippage). In extreme weather, steps must be taken in good time to safeguard the equipment, and the immediate vicinity of the equip-ment, and to protect employees.

● All connections must be checked regularly to ensure that they still fit properly and are functioning cor-rectly. It is very important to check all screw-type connec-tions and wedge-clamped joins whenever the con-struction operations require (particularly after excep-tional events such as storms), and to tighten them if necessary.


5999776002 - 03/2011


Assembly● The equipment/system must be inspected by the

customer before use, to ensure that it is in suitable condition. Steps must be taken to rule out the use of any components that are damaged, deformed, or weakened due to wear, corrosion or rot.

● Combining our formwork systems with those of other manufacturers could be dangerous, risking damage to both health and property. If you intend to combine different systems, please contact Doka for advice first.

● The assembly work must be carried out by suitably qualified employees of the client's.

● It is not permitted to modify Doka products; any such modifications constitute a safety risk.

Erecting the formwork● Doka products and systems must be set up in such

a way that all loads acting upon them are safely transferred!

Pouring● Do not exceed the permitted fresh-concrete pres-

sures. Excessively high pouring rates lead to form-work overload, cause greater deflection and risk causing breakage.

Striking the formwork● Do not strike the formwork until the concrete has

reached sufficient strength and the person in charge has given the order for the formwork to be struck!

● When striking the formwork, never use the crane to break concrete cohesion. Use suitable tools such as timber wedges, special pry-bars or system features such as Framax stripping corners.

● When striking the formwork, do not endanger the stability of any part of the structure, or of any scaf-folding, platforms or formwork that is still in place!

Transporting, stacking and storing● Observe all regulations applying to the handling of

formwork and scaffolding. In addition, the Doka slinging means must be used - this is a mandatory requirement.

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

● All components must be stored safely, following all the special Doka instructions given in the relevant sections of this User Information booklet!

Regulations; industrial safety● Always observe all industrial safety regulations and

other safety rules applying to the application and uti-lisation of our products in the country and/or region in which you are operating.

Instruction as required by EN 13374:● If a person or object falls against, or into, the edge

protection system and/or any of its accessories, the edge protection component affected may only con-tinue in use after it has been inspected and passed by an expert.

Maintenance● Only original Doka components may be used as

spare parts. Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised facilities.

Eurocodes at DokaIn Europe, a uniform series of Standards known as Eurocodes (EC) was developed for the construction field by the end of 2007. These are intended to provide a uniform basis, valid throughout Europe, for product specifications, tenders and mathematical verification.The EC are the world's most highly developed Stand-ards in the construction field.In the Doka Group, the EC are to be used as standard from the end of 2008. They will thus supersede the DIN norms as the "Doka standard" for product design.

The widely used "Permissible stress design" (compar-ing the actual stresses with the permissible stresses) has been superseded by a new safety concept in the EC.The EC contrast the actions (loads) with the resistance (capacity). The previous safety factor in the permissible stresses is now divided into several partial factors. The safety level remains the same!

Comparison of the safety concepts (example)

Ed Design value of effect of actions (E ... effect; d ... design) Internal forces from action Fd (VEd, NEd, MEd)

Rd Design value of the resistance (R ... resistance; d ... design) Design capacity of cross-section (VRd, NRd, MRd)

Fd Design value of an actionSteel: Rd =

Rk Timber: Rd = kmod ·Rk

Fd = γF · Fk γM γM

(F ... force)Fk Characteristic value of an action

"actual load", service load (k ... characteristic) e.g. dead weight, live load, concrete pressure, wind

Rk Characteristic value of the resistance e.g. moment resistance to yield stress

γF Partial factor for actions (in terms of load; F ... force) e.g. for dead weight, live load, concrete pres-sure, wind Values from EN 12812

γM Partial factor for a material property (in terms of material; M...material) e.g. for steel or timber Values from EN 12812

kmod Modification factor (only for timber – to take account of the moisture and the duration of load action) e.g. for Doka beam H20 Values as given in EN 1995-1-1 and EN 13377

The "permissible values" communicated in Doka documents (e.g.: Qpermissible = 70 kN) do not correspond to the design values (e.g.: VRd = 105 kN)!➤ Avoid any confusion between the two!➤ Our documents will continue to state the per-

missible values. Allowance has been made for the following par-tial factors: γF = 1.5 γM, timber = 1.3 γM, steel = 1.1 kmod = 0.9In this way, all the design values needed in an EC design calculation can be ascertained from the permissible values.

Product description

Dokaflex 1-2-4 - the versatile hand-set system for floor-slabsDokaflex 1-2-4 can easily be adapted to fit any layout, simply by telescoping the Doka H20 top beams. The materials planning work is done by slide-rule, which appreciably reduces the costs of planning and opera-tions scheduling.● no structural-design work is needed, as 1-2-4 shows

you the maximum spacings for all slabs up to 30 cm thick

● you can tell at a glance whether the formwork has been set up correctly

Further advantages:● infill zones are managed within the system, making it

easy to accommodate walls and columns● for shoring heights of up to 5.50 m● any type of form-facing can be used● no need to measure upDokaflex 1-2-4 is ideal for enclosed spaces where the formwork superstructure can rest up against walls on all sides.Horizontal forces at exposed slab-edges, drop beams or steps in ceiling slabs must be restrained by strutting or back-stays.

Instructions for assembly and use

Erecting the formworkPutting up the floor props➤ Place primary and secondary beams along the

edges.The marks on the beams show you the maximum spacings: - every 4 marks for primary beams - every 6 marks for props with removable folding tri-pods

➤ Roughly adjust the height of the floor prop, using the fastening clamp.

The pegging holes are all numbered, which makes it easier to adjust the props to the same height.

➤ Insert a Lowering head H20 into the floor prop. Leave the correct amount of lowering play (a)!

➤ Put up each removable folding tripod.

➤ Put the floor prop into the tripod and fix it in place with the clamping lever. Before stepping onto the formwork, check again to make sure that the props have been correctly fixed in the tripods.

Setting up tripods in corners or up against walls

If it is not possible to completely unfold the legs of the tripod – e.g. at the edges of a structure or at floor breakthroughs etc. – we recommend fastening this tripod to an adjacent floor prop instead, where there is room for the legs to be completely unfolded.

☞ Important note:As well as the instructions given here, the sec-tion headed "Reshoring props, concrete tech-nology and striking" MUST be followed.

CAUTION➤ If the floor props are transported with the

lowering heads still attached, you must secure these with a Spring-locked connect-ing pin 16 mm to prevent them dropping out. This is particularly important when they are transported in the horizontal.

Clearance a between wedge and head-plate: 6 cm

9720-006

9720-006

☞ ➤ Do not oil or grease wedge-clamped joins.

The lowering heads that will be under the pri-mary beams next to the walls must be turned inwards so that they can be knocked undone when the time comes to take down the form-work.

Inserting the primary beams➤ Using beam-forks, place the primary beams into the

lowering heads.

The lowering heads can hold both single beams (on edge-of-room props) and double beams (at over-laps).

➤ Adjust the primary beams to the correct floor-slab height.

WARNING➤ It is not permitted to set down any loads on

the floor-slab formwork (e.g. beams, form-work sheets, reinforcement steel) until after the intermediate props have been set up!

Planks can be attached to the floor props as diagonal braces, using the Bracing clamp B. (This is only to help stand the props upright and is not suitable for restraining horizontal loads).

9776-201-01


15999776002 - 03/2011


Placing the secondary beams on the primary beams➤ Use the beam forks to place the secondary beams

on the primary beams, with an overlap.

Maximum spacing of secondary beams: 1 mark

Putting up the intermediate props➤ Place the Supporting head H20 DF on the inside

tube of the floor prop and secure it with the integral spring-steel stirrup.

➤ Put up the intermediate props.

Maximum prop spacing: 2 marks apart

Be sure to place a beam (or double beam) wherever there is to be a joint between the Dokadur panels.

To prevent the secondary beams tipping on their sides while the panels are being laid on them, Secondary-beam stabilisers can be used.

Mounting slab stop-ends and fall-arrest railings

➤ Mount the slab stop-ends➤ Mount guard rails around all exposed edges.

Laying the ProFrame panels➤ Lay the ProFrame panels at right angles to the sec-

ondary beams.

➤ Spray the ProFrame panels with parting agent.

PouringTo protect the surface of the form-facing, we recom-mend using a vibrator with a protective rubber cap.

Striking

Removing the intermediate props➤ Remove the intermediate props and put them in the

stacking pallet.

After the intermediate props have been removed, there remain only props spaced 2.0 m apart in the direction of the secondary beams and 3.0 m apart in the direc-tion of the primary beams. This leaves enough space to manoeuvre wheel-around scaffolds and stacking pal-lets without difficulty.

☞ ➤ Use personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) to protect against fall hazards when working on unsecured slab-edges.

Follow the directions in the "Doka floor end-shutter clamp" User Information booklet!

Where necessary (e.g. edge zones), secure the form-ply with nails.Recommended nail lengths● sheet thickness 21 mm - approx. 50 mm● sheet thickness 27 mm - approx. 60 mm

☞ Windproofing● For increased stability, in larger rooms, the

full erection sequence of "primary beams + secondary beams + formwork sheets" should be carried out progressively for suc-cessive sub-areas of the room. When doing this, provide suitable bracing to walls or columns.

● If there is any risk of the formwork being blown over, all free-standing, non-enclosed areas of slab formwork must be secured dur-ing work-breaks and when work finishes for the day.

9720-330-01

☞ Observe all stipulated stripping times!

The Wheel-around scaffold DF is ideal for striking the formwork from floor-slabs above rooms of medium height.

● collapsible wheelaround platform made of light alloy

● variable working heights of up to 3.80 m (max. platform height: 1.75 m)

● platform width: 0.80 mFor greater heights than this, the Doka mobile scaffold tower Z is ideal.

9768-219-01


17999776002 - 03/2011


Lowering the floor-slab formwork➤ Lower the floor-slab formwork by striking the wedge

on the lowering head with a hammer.

Removing parts that are no longer needed➤ Turn the secondary beams over onto their sides, pull

them out and put them in the stacking pallet. Leave the beams under the panel-joints in place.

➤ Take out the ProFrame panels and put them in the stacking pallet.

➤ Remove the remaining secondary beams and the primary beams, and put them in the stacking pallet.

Removing the floor props1) Hold the inner tube with one hand.2) Open the fastening clamp to unfix the inner tube.

Guide this by hand while lowering it into the outer tube.

➤ Put the removable folding tripods and props in the stacking pallet.

Repropping➤ Before pouring the next floor-slab (i.e. above the one

that has just been stripped), put up reshoring props.

9720-007

9720

-008

9720-009

When lifting the equipment to the next storey, it is better to transport the floor props and the low-ering heads separately (the floor props on their own can be stored much more space-savingly in the stacking pallet).

System components of Dokaflex 1-2-4 – also for slab thicknesses of over 30 cm

Only one system in use on the siteUp to a slab thickness of 30 cm, no structural design work is needed. However, it is also possible to compute the exact quantities – of the same system components – that will be needed for any given thickness of slab, with reference to the table. In this way, only as much formwork equipment is used as is really needed, as dictated by the slab load.The following tables allow for a service load of 0.75 kN/m2 and additional loading totalling 10% of the dead load of the concrete, but min. 0.75 kN/m2 and max. 1.75 kN/m2. Mid-span deflection has been limited to l/500.

On the site, the easy-to-use slide-rule is ideal for deter-mining the permissible spacing of primary beams and props.

Floor formwork around edgesIt can be advantageous to combine Dokaflex with Dokamatic tables, particularly in edge-zones.This is an easy, safe way of forming drop-beams and slab stop-ends, and of erecting safety railings.

Without edge drop-beam

Using Dokaflex on edge zonesIf no separate edge tables are available, the following points must be remembered when using Dokaflex:● In order to be able to transfer the horizontal forces,

the superstructure components must be firmly attached to one another.

● The back-stay can be fastened to either the second-ary or primary beam.

With edge drop-beam

Staxo, Aluxo, d2 and the Beam forming support 20 can be readily combined with Dokaflex 1-2-4 where a drop beam needs to be formed.

For more information, see the "Dokamatic table", "Dokaflex table", "Doka load-bearing tower Staxo 40" or "Doka load-bearing tower Staxo 100" User Information booklets.

WARNING➤ For work at dangerous heights, the second-

ary-beam elements with the working plat-forms must be preassembled on the ground.

➤ Where working platforms are erected on cantilevering floor-slab formwork, the form-work must be secured against accidental lift-out.

➤ Secondary beams with stop-end formwork must be secured against horizontal pull-out.

➤ In addition, erect guard scaffolding beside the structure.

Beam forming supportThe Beam forming support 20 is the professional way of forming drop beams and slab stop-ends. In conjunc-tion with the "Extension 60 cm for beam support", exact height adjustment to within 1 cm is possible. This does away with time-consuming jobsite squared-timber constructions. The Beam forming support auto-matically clamps the formwork tight, resulting in clean concrete surfaces and grout-tight edges.

How to use the Beam forming sup-port 20➤ Place the Beam-forming support onto the H 20 sec-

ondary beam and push it up against the sidewall formwork.

The large bearing surface of the Beam-forming sup-port gives the sidewall formwork a high degree of (90°) angle accuracy.

➤ Clamp the Beam forming support firmly into position

The diagonal bracing of the Beam-forming support ensures that the joint between the form-ply sheets is automatically pressed together tightly when the Beam forming support is clamped.

This results in a clean concrete surface.

Formwork beams horizontal(up to a height of 60 cm)

Note:As a basic rule, it is forbidden to use formwork beams "horizontally" (i.e. with the load-direction perpendicular to the web). However, the specific applications shown here, using the Beam forming support, are permitted.

Secondary-beam stabilisersSecondary-beam stabilisers are used to prevent form-work beams tipping over while panels are being laid on them.

Advantages:● Special claws to prevent slippage on the beam-

flange● No work-platform scaffold needed, as the stabilisers

can be mounted/dismounted from ground level using an Alu beam fork H20

● Needs only small commissioning quantities, as the Secondary-beam stabilisers can be re-set in tandem with the formwork erection cycle:- approx. 20 Secondary-beam stabilisers 1- approx. 10 Secondary-beam stabilisers 2

Note:In certain special situations, (e.g. when forming inclined floor-slabs), Secondary-beam stabilisers can also be used for transferring horizontal loads.For more information, please contact your Doka techni-cian.

How to mount:➤ Hang the Secondary-beam stabilisers into place with

an Alu beam fork H20.

The secondary beam is now held in place.➤ Lay the ProFrame panels on the beams.➤ After the ProFrame panels have been laid, unhook

and remove the Secondary-beam stabilisers with an Alu beam fork H20.

Combining Doka table systemsBecause the superstructures of all Doka floor-slab sys-tems share the same basic structure, they can also be used together on the site.

Dokamatic and Dokaflex tablesThe Doka tables are pre-assembled, and save on both labour and crane time. With the shifting trolley plus attachable drive unit, the tables can easily be wheeled across to their next location by just one man working on his own. The system is optimised to give the very short-est forming-times on large areas, and copes well even with varying structural-design and geometrical require-ments.

Doka XtraThis value-for-money, high-speed system has a pre-defined stripping sequence which boosts efficiency and evens out the site crew's workload. Any type of form-facing can be used, enabling all architectural wishes regarding the concrete surface to be met.

For more information, see the "Dokamatic table" and "Dokaflex table" User Information booklets.

For more information, please see the User Infor-mation booklet "Doka Xtra".

Formwork planning with Tipos-Doka

Tipos-Doka helps you to form even more efficientlyTipos-Doka has been developed to assist you in planning the use of your Doka formwork. For wall formwork, floor formwork and platforms, it puts the same tools into your hands that we at Doka use ourselves for formwork planning.

Easy to use, fast and accurate resultsThe easy-to-use interface makes for very fast working. From when you input your layout (with the "Schal-Igel"® on-screen assistant), all the way through to when you manually put the finishing touches to the formwork solution the program gives you. All this saves time - yours.The program contains a large number of templates and wizards, so you can be sure of always getting the opti-mum technical and economical solution to your form-work task. This makes for greater operational reliability, and cuts costs.You can get to work right away with the piece-lists, plans, views, sections and perspective drawings that the program gives you. Operational reliability is also enhanced by the high level of detail of the plans.

Formwork drawings really can be as clear and detailed as this! Both for the layout and for spatial representations, Tipos-Doka sets an impressive new standard of visual presentation.

Always the right quantities of form-work and accessories

You can import the automatically generated piece-lists into many other programs for further processing.Formwork components and accessories that have to be organised at short notice, or replaced by improvisation, are the ones that cost the most. This is why Tipos-Doka offers complete piece-lists that leave no room for improvisation. Planning with Tipos-Doka eliminates costs before they have a chance to even arise. And your depot can make the best possible use of its stocks.

Reshoring props, concrete technology and striking

When is the best time to strike?In the building construction field, the load occurring dur-ing pouring (i.e. the weight of the uncovered floor) will generally be approx. 50% of the design load of the floor-slab (dead weight + flooring + service load).This means that the formwork can be struck once the concrete has reached 50% of its 28-day strength. The loading safety of the floor-slab is then equal to that of the finished structure.

Why put up reshoring props after striking the formwork?Depending on the construction sequence, reshoring props may be needed to carry service loads on the new floor-slab, and/or concreting-loads from the next floor to be poured.

Positioning the reshoring props cor-rectlyReshoring props have the job of spreading loads between the new floor-slab and the floor beneath it. This load distribution will depend on the relationship between the rigidities of these two floor-slabs.The required numerical relationship between reshoring props and formwork props can be stated for the follow-ing two limit cases:● only approx. 0.4 reshoring props per formwork

prop where both floor-slabs have similar rigidities● only approx. 0.8 reshoring props per formwork

prop where the floor-slab below has a considerably higher rigidity (foundation slab).

Strength development in the new concreteThe following diagrams show the strength development where different grades of cement are used. If the tem-perature of the concrete is < 5°C, the chemical reac-tions are very greatly slowed down. This is why low temperatures require cements that have rapid heat evolution and strength development.

Reference values for the evolution of the compres-sive strength of the concrete at storage tempera-tures of 20°C and 5°C as a function of the type of cement used

Water/binding-agent (cement) ratio = 0.50

☞ Important note:If the load is not removed from the floor props at this stage, they will remain loaded with the dead weight of the floor-slab.When the floor above is concreted, this may lead to a doubling of the load that is being applied to the floor props.The floor props are not designed to cope with such an overload, and the result may be dam-age to the formwork, the floor props and the structure.

☞ Ask an expert!As a rule, the question of using reshoring props should be referred to the responsible experts, regardless of the information given above. If there is any doubt, particularly where dissimilar floor systems are involved, the decision must be referred to the responsible structural designer.

Deflection of the new concreteThe modulus of elasticity of the concrete has already reached more than 90 % of the 28-day value after only 3 days, regardless of the formulation of the concrete. The increase in the elastic deformation taking place in the new concrete is thus only negligible.The creep deformation, which only finally ceases after several years, is several times more than the elastic deformation.However, early striking - e.g. after 3 days instead of 28 - only leads to an increase in the total deformation of less than 5 %.The part of this deformation accounted for by creep deformation, however, may be anything between 50 % and 100 % of the standard value, due to such variable influences as the strength of the aggregates, and the atmospheric humidity. This means that the total deflec-tion of the floor-slab is practically independent of the time at which the formwork was struck.

Cracks in new concreteThe bonding strength between the reinforcement steel and the concrete develops more rapidly in the new con-crete than does its compressive strength. This means that early striking does not have any negative influence upon the size and distribution of cracks on the tension side of reinforced concrete constructions.Other cracking phenomena caused by e.g. shrinkage, premature striking, impeded deformation etc. can be countered effectively by appropriate curing methods.

Curing of new concreteNew site-placed concrete is exposed to influences which may cause cracking and slow down its strength development:● premature drying● over-rapid cooling in the first few days● excessively low temperatures or frost● mechanical damage to the surface of the concrete● etc.The simplest precaution is to leave the formwork on the concrete surface for longer. As well as the familiar extra curing measures, this measure should be carried out in any case.

Striking the formwork from wide-spanned floor-slabs with support centres of over 7.5mIn the case of thin, wide-spanned concrete floor-slabs (e.g. in multistorey car parks), the following points must be remembered:When the formwork is removed from beneath these floor-slab spans (i.e. when the load is taken off the floor props), the floor props that are still in place are briefly subjected to additional loads. This may lead to over-loading, and to the floor props being damaged.When planning and designing floor formworks for these very thin concrete floor slabs, it is thus essential to allow for the loads occurring during formwork removal, as well as for the usual design loads.Please consult your Doka technician.

l ... Effective floor-slab spans of 7.50 m and over

☞ The basic rule is:The formwork should be removed starting from the middle of the floor slab (i.e. from mid-span), and working towards the edges. For wide spans, this procedure MUST be fol-lowed!
