Early stripping

 

NOTICE

▪ Comply with the stipulated stripping times.

▪ There are no props with drop-head function at the edge of the floor slab.

▪ Always strip out the formwork in reverse order (see 'Variant A: Stripping from the structure edge to the structure core')

▪ Where fall protection is still required, the panels at the slab edge and panels with cross heads must remain in place (see 'Variant B: Stripping from the structure core to the structure edge').

▪ Observe the following sections in the 'Panel floor formwork Dokadek 30 with drop head' User Infor­mation booklet.

- ‘Reshoring props, concrete technology and stripping’

- If necessary, 'Additional precautions for slab thicknesses of up to 50 cm'.


 

WARNING

➤ Do not release the sliding plates of the remaining XF drop heads (see blue marks in the sketch below) (= 2nd lowering stage), and do not back off the floor props.

➤ Proceed panel by panel when stripping at the edge of the floor slab. Immediately put up reshoring for each panel in turn as stripping proceeds.

➤ No temporary reshores must be put beneath the closure panels.

➤ Lower all the panels by knocking the red lowering wedge of the XF drop head with a hammer
(= 1st lowering stage).

The floor props with an XF drop head will still be restrained.


 

➤ Before lowering, clean the dirty baseplates of the drop heads!

➤ Lower the floor props with an XF wall head or cross head approx. 2 cm (approx. 1 turn of the adjusting nut).


 

WARNING

➤ Strip all panels ('Variant A: Stripping from the structure edge to the structure core' and 'Variant B: Strip­ping from the structure core to the structure edge') before pouring the floor-slab above.

➤ After this, take the load off the floor props with a drop head or replace them with temporary reshores.
