Panel struts

Plumbing accessories brace the formwork against wind loads and make it easier to plumb and align.

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 prevent dropout)

 

NOTICE

The formwork panels must be held stable in every phase of the construction work!

Please observe all applicable safety regulations!

The values apply where the wind pressure we = 0.65 kN/m2. This results in an impact pressure qp = 0.5 kN/m2 (102 km/h) where cp, net = 1.3. In cases where higher wind pressure is encountered, the number of props must be determined by statical calculation.

 

For more information, see the Calculation Guide "Wind loads to the Eurocodes" or ask your Doka tech­nician!

Fixing the struts to the formwork

➤ Bolt the Prop head KS into the waling profile and secure it with a linch pin.

➤ Bolt the panel strut onto the Prop head KS. (For details of how to locate the panel struts, see "Assembling the col­umn formwork").

Fixing to the ground

➤ Anchor the panel strut to the ground to resist tensile and compressive forces!

Drilled holes in the footplate of the panel strut:

Follow the Fitting Instructions!

Required safe working load of alternative anchors for foot-plates: 
Rd ≥ 20.3 kN (Fpermissible ≥ 13.5 kN)

Follow the manufacturers' applicable fitting instructions.
