1 The wedge jacks and their use
The TITAN 500 and TITAN 1000 wedge jacksfrom Ishcbeck Titan have been tested for useas jacks in heavy falsework applications.
The wedge jacks are generally used for thesupport of beams and beam falsework orsingle rolled steel props or heavyduty falsework props. The item to besupported may be fastened to the wedgejack by means of connecting brackets.The wedge jack is to be placed on a surfaceas solid and flat as possible, such as aconcrete foundation, a foundation beamor a steel bracket.
The wedge jack may be subjected to bothcentric and eccentric vertical forces and alsoto a lesser extent horizontal forces.
The load-bearing capacity of the wedge jackis depending on the surface it has beenplaced on and how it has been placedthere.
Figures 1-3 show the TITAN 500 wedge jack.The TITAN 1000 wedge jack is similar.
In this document, permitted maximum loadsare indicated for the TITAN 500 and TITAN1000 wedge jacks for specific caseswith given conditions.

2 Design and function
The wedge jack consists of four identicalwedges arranged at an angle of 90° to eachother.
The wedges are held together by a tie rod(TITAN 500) or an anchor bolt (TITAN 1000)and by vertical bolts that limit the maximumheight (see figures 4-7).
A layer of synthetic resin protects the wedgejack against corrosion.

One of thenuts has been tack welded to one of the sidewedges.

The TITAN 1000 Wedge Jack
On the TITAN 1000 wedge jack, plates(300x300x10 mm) have been welded to boththe top and bottom wedgesrespectively (head plate and base plate, seefigures 6 and 7).
The side wedges are positioned verticallybetween the top and bottom wedges andheld together by means of ananchor bolt Tr 53 x 13 mm and nut.
FunctionTightening the adjustment nut will pull theside wedges together, thereby lifting the topwedge and increasing the total height of thewedge jack. Loosening the adjustment nutwill make the side wedges move away fromeach other, letting the top wedge sink. Inboth cases, the wedges will slide along their45° surfaces.The adjustment range is 100 mm for theTITAN 500 and 90 mm for the TITAN 1000.Due to a large pitch thread, adjustmentis fast and requires little force.

Below maximum load, the wedge jack can beloosened by means of a ring spanner and a 2kg hammer. For safety reasons, a wrenchwith a torque multiplier (preferably 1:15) isrecommended when working on thefalsework. The respective beams may beused for supporting torque multiplier lever.
The wedge jacks can lift and adjust loads upto 40 kN.
The TITAN wedge jacks have beendeveloped from the traditional sand support,in comparison with which it has the followingadvantages:
- exact height adjustment- data on load deformation properties- insensitive to water
In comparison with spindle designs andhydraulic cylinders, the wedge jack is alsocapable of handling eccentric loads andhorizontal forces within a certain limit. The

3 Verification of stability based onstructural analysis
For real applications, the stability of thewedge jack may be calculated and verifiedbased on static calculation models of thewedge jack alone. In these calculationmodels, impact and load-bearingcapacity are taken into consideration.
The calculation models that form the basis ofthe test type are described in detail inChapter 4. Support conditions are governedby the foundation conditions and theconnected elements or with the aid oftechnical applications.
In Chapter 8, various applications are shownwith the appropriate static calculation model.
In the design of falsework it must beremembered that the wedge jack provides avery low degree of restraint for thesurroundings. Because of its low torsionalstiffness, the wedge jack will therefore notadd to stability.
4 Description of load cases and staticcalculation models
The following examples are cases wherewedge jacks may be used:
1. In the case of torque transfer with nohorizontal loads, if one of the end plates(head and/or base plate) is not fixed so thatit cannot rotate, it must be ensured that theend plates cannot shift in relation to eachother in any direction.
At pure eccentric vertical loads, the followingcalculation models are to be used (staticcalculation models A):
Figure 10:Static calculation model A-1 for view 1(see figure 1) of the wedge jack
Sliding stiffness from friction
Figure 11:Static calculation model A-2 for view 2(see figure 2) of the wedge jack
The degree of restraint of the wedge jack islow. The end plates will rotate by more than1° from the horizontal plane even at a verylow load eccentricy without impeding theload-bearing capacity of the wedge jack.
Page 10 of 27
Ischebeck Titan | Method statement | Wedge Jacks April 2009
2. If both end plates are fixed, the wedgejack can also transfer horizontal loads.
For the transfer of horizontal loads whenthere is a centric vertical load, the followingstatic calculation models are to beused (static calculation models B):

tested to verify the load-bearing behaviour.As long as the conditions mentioned inChapter 4 are met, the wedge jack will meetthe requirements of"Traggerüstgruppe III" (Framework Class III)of DIN 4421.

b) Maximum permissible vertical load (Fz max)at an existing horizontal load (Fx) or (Fy)
View 1 – Fx exist: The maximum vertical load(Fz max) is calculated taking the horizontal load(Fx exist) into consideration
TITAN 500 Fz max = 420 kN – 1,4 x Fx existTITAN 1000 Fz max = 1000 kN – 1,4 x Fx exist
View 2 – Fy exist: The maximum vertical load(Fz max) is independent of the horizontal load(Fy exist) and does not have to be reduced
TITAN 500 Fz max = 420 kNTITAN 1000 Fz max = 1000 kN
The conditions a) Fx ≤ Fx max, Fy ≤ Fy maxand b) Fz ≤ Fz max must be met at the sametime.

Important:
The inner surfaces of the wedges (slidingsurfaces) must not be lubricated. Beforeusing the wedge, make sure to clean thesliding surfaces from any oil or grease.
Place the wedge jack on solid, flat and non-rotating surfaces, such as concretefoundations, raft foundations,foundation beams, steel brackets, etc.
The surface on which the wedge jack isplaced must be at least as large as its baseplate.

6 Operating instructions and conditions
6.1 Positioning and placement of thewedge jack
The wedge jack is generally to be assembledin a vertical position. Make sure that the sidewedges are in parallel with each other. Thisis also valid for the aligning of the top andbottom wedges (see figure 23).
Make sure that the wedges are at 90° angleto one another. It is not permitted to create aparallelogram and/or to tilt any ofthe end plates (see figures 24 and 25).

6.2 Structural members on wedge jacks
The load on the wedge jack is to bedistributed over the entire surface. Thereforethe structural members resting on the wedgejack, or on which the wedge jack rests, mustbe adequately stiffened.
Sectional beams need stiffeners at everywedge jack location.
6.3 Flexible beams on wedge jacks
If a wedge jack is used for the support of aflexible beam, the tie rod is to be aligned inparallel with the axis of the beam.In this position the wedge jack will adjust in acontrolledmanner to the beam inclination(�<1° or 0,0175 rad, see figure 28). Herebythe vertical load is automatically centered.
Wedge jacks may not be used as a supportfor structural beams where, due to loads, therotation in the point of support �>1°.

6.4 Wedge jacks for the support ofinclined beams
In cases where inclined beams are to besupported, the careful use of semicircularsteel rods of different radii (see figure 29)may ensure that the wedge jacks may still beused as they can then still be positionedvertically. It is vital that the steel rods
are positioned exactly above the edges ofthe top wedge and that they extend over theentire width of the wedge jack.The use of the steel rods and the load of thebeam are to be verified by a suitablyqualified person on site.

6.5 Wedge jacks for the supportof props
When used for the support of props,the wedge jack is to be positioned sothat the line of action goes throughthe centre of gravity of the prop and ofthe wedge jack.
If rolled sections are used as props,end plates must be welded onto thesections for the correct transfer of theload. The positioning should besecured by means of beam clamps(see also Chapter 8.4 – Example IV).
At the positioning of the prop section it mustbe assumed that the wedge jack offers nodegree of restraint. The idealrotation point may be assumed to be on topof the wedge jack for view 1 and in the tie

Line of Action
Page 18 of 27
Ischebeck Titan | Method statement | Wedge Jacks April 2009
If heavy duty props are to be supportedwhich may rotate freely around one axis, therotation point must be in View 1.
The same applies for hinged props whichhave to be set up at an angle due to shifts inthe superstructure.
The perpendicular deviation angle (�) mustnot exceed 0,0175 rad (=1°).

7 Lowering of formwork with wedge jacks
Operating instructionsAfter the concrete has hardened sufficiently,the formwork may be lowered.If no particular instructions have beenissued by the erecting contractor,the following instructions should befollowed:
1. Measure the heights between the bottomof the primary beam and the bases for thewedge jacks and write them down, e.g.with chalk on each section of the primarybeam, for reference.
2. At the use of several wedge jacks in a row,loosen the adjustment nuts 1/4 turnbeginning at the ends and moving inwards(in the figure below, this would mean thefollowing order: 1, 8, 2, 7, 3, 6, 4 and 5).Repeat at all beams alternately until thebeams have all been lowered by approx.10mm. At this stage, the downward motionof the beams should not differ by morethan 3mm.
3. Now loosen the adjustment nuts one fullturn beginning at the outer ends andmoving inwards. Repeat at all beams until
the beams have all been lowered approx.50mm. The downward motion of thebeams should not differ by more than 10mm.
4. At this point, every second wedge jackmay be removed.Remove the wedge jacks that have beenlowered the most and are approaching theminimum height of 170mm. Otherwise,hydraulic equipment will be necessary forfurther lowering.
5. Lower the remaining wedge jacks until theformwork is clear. When applicable,remove extra steel plates underneath thewedge jacks before reaching the mininumheight.
