To build a 500 kg/sqm floor, for a 18 sqm surface, the following products in the indicated quantities are needed:
|
Assemble the props with the tripods arranged according to the calculated distance, plus the galvanized fork head for beams.
Assemble the supporting beams supported by the forks head
.
|
|
Assemble the transversal beams arranged according to the selected distance and fasten them to the supporting beams with nails. |
|
Assemble the panels by fastening them to the transversal beams with nails.
The modules so assembled are placed one next to the other until the floor is completed. |
|
The casting stop-side fence is made using panels fixed with the clamps for cribbing. |

Values needed for a correct calculation of floor formwork are:
• Floor weight in Kg per sqm
• Distance in between transversal beams
• Distance in between supporting beams
• Distance in between props |
|
The first step is to know floor weight in kg/sqm.
The next table shows floor weight expressed in square meters, formwork and live loading included.
Values indicated are approximate.
Actual values depend on floor type and thickness, iron reinforcing structure weight and formwork weight. |
|
Once you know the floor weight in kg/sqm and you have selected the distance for transversal beams (or rather the distance on which panels rest) in the next table, compare these data in order to obtain the distance for the supporting beams (or rather the distance on which transversal beams rest).
Transversal beam maximum protrusion should not exceed 20% of the distance in between the supporting beams. |
|
|
|
Once you know the floor weight in kg/sqm and you have selected the distance for supporting beams in the next table, compare these data in order to obtain the distance for props on which the supporting beams rest. |
|
| |
Once you know the floor weight in kg/sqm and you have selected the distance for supporting beams in the next table, compare these data to obtain the load in kg props have to bear.
If you have props with less bearing capacity, the distance in between props should be reduced in a proportional way. |
|
Data supplied in this table is approximate.
The person in charge of the construction site should calculate
structures according to the characteristics and use of each single product.
