The upper and lower surfaces of the EPS forms incorporate small castellations so that adjacent forms lock together effectively without fixings. The forms are interlocked and build up horizontally and vertically into a tight rigid formwork.

The elements of the wall system are filled with concrete manually, 2-3 rows at a time. To achieve proper consistency for the concrete, compacting can be done manually and hammering through the masonry elements load distribution boards as needed. In case of a technical break, the elements of the last row should be filled with concrete only halfway, and joining is done when continued, by filling the next 2-3 elements.

The formwork is used in conjunction with concrete class of C16/20 (according to EN 206-1) for plain concrete walls or classes in the range from C20/25 to C30/37 for reinforced concrete walls. Class of slump ≥ F2 is recommended and maximum size of the aggregate used in concrete walls is 16 mm. The concrete is possible to apply according to national rules. The concrete can contain an admixture complying with EN 934-2:2009 to allow placement by either rodding or free flow and eventually allow adequate time of concreting. For the intended use it is essential to protect the formwork against effects of the weather. Components and finishes used in conjunction with the formwork, not covered by this document, are as follow: - steel reinforcement - where required, should comply with applicable national rules - external rendering or external masonry or gypsum plasterboards according to EN

520:2004+A1:2009 - internal finishing - brickwork/stonework wall ties according to EN 845-1:2003+A1:2008 - supports

1.2 Intended use POLISTYRENE EPS NEOPOR BUILDING MODULE ProKoncept® is used for forming loadbearing and non-loadbearing internal or external walls. Once filled on site with concrete, the EPS formwork remains as a permanent part of the wall and so contributes to the overall thermal resistance of the completed wall construction. When using this system below ground, then according to applicable national rules, a waterproofing membrane should be provided on the external surface. The membrane should be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and should be protected from damage using an impact-resistant protective layer or sand blinding. The relevant and applicable use categories in accordance with EOTA TR 034 for the product are: Category IA 2: Product with no direct contact to but possible impact on indoor air. Category S/W 3: Product with no contact to and no impact on soil, ground or surface water.

1.3 Intended working life The provisions made for the ProKoncept® elements in this ETA are based on an assumed working life of the system for at least 50 years. The indications given on the working life cannot be interpreted as a guarantee given by the manufacturer or approval body, but are to be used as a means for selecting the appropriate product in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of this systems.

4.3 Installation 4.3.1 General

The manufacturer shall ensure that the requirements in accordance with sections 1, 2 and 4 of this ETA are made known to those involved in planning and execution. The ProKoncept® Application Guide is deposited at ÉMI Non-profit Limited Liability Company for Quality Control and Innovation in Building (ÉMI Építésügyi Minőségellenőrző Innovációs Nonprofit Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság) and shall be present at every construction site. If the manufacturer's instructions contain provisions which differ from those stated here, the specifications of the ETA shall apply. After installation of the shuttering elements the site-mixed or ready mixed concrete is brought in and compacted. In end use conditions the grid type concrete walls of plain or reinforced concrete according to EN 1992-1-1 or corresponding national rules will be formed. In end use conditions the EPS-shuttering leaves are the main part of the thermal insulation of the walls.

4.3.2 Installation of the shuttering elements The shuttering elements are put together on site in layers without mortar or adhesive. The formwork shall build up a wall with staggered hollow blocks and the spacers shall be stacked. The first row should be filled with concrete in half, than do the altitudinal fine setups and the walling should be continued only after the concrete had consolidated (the next day is recommend). Covering for the protection of the element’s castellated horizontal joints must be used during concreting. The maximum filling height is 0,75 m (3 lines of the shuttering) at once. Next section can be filled after achieving compressive strength of the previous section app. 2 N·mm-2. In this case it is not necessary to use support system for stabilization of the wall before concreting. Horizontally passing ducts are to be installed according to the ProKoncept® Application Guide and are to be taken into account when designing the wall. Horizontal ducts situated inside the wall cores and running parallel to the wall surfaces are to be avoided. If absolutely necessary, these are to be taken into account when designing the wall. Also vertical ducts in the concrete core shall be considered, if their diameter exceeds 1/6 of the thickness of the concrete core and the distance of the pipes is less than 2 m. The necessary reinforcement according to static calculation also shall be installed in an appropriate way. Further information is given in the ProKoncept® Application Guide which forms a supporting document of the ETA.

4.3.3 Concreting The used fresh concrete shall be according to relevant parts of EN 206-1 controlled according to Annex C of this Standard.
