Structural design – formwork sheet and filler options
Note:
For detailed information on the formwork sheet and closure options, see the section headed 'Adaptation to building layout'.
Note on dimension (x):
▪ The influence of the filler on the table will be different, depending on which filler option (1 to 3) has been selected.
▪ The appropriate table and the number of floor props needed are selected with reference to the values 'x' and the slab thickness 'd'.
▪ The width of the fitting-board needed is always 1’ larger than the actual closure dimension 'x'.
