    Formwork Design Calculation

    Uploaded by

    hessian123
    The document provides calculations for the design of formwork for a trench excavation. It determines the maximum active pressure on the formwork will be 16.8 kN/m^2. It then checks that horizontal and vertical timber members and strut spacing can withstand these pressures based on the material properties and allowable stresses listed in BS5975. The maximum strut force is calculated as 5.03375 kN, which is less than the 20 kN capacity of the steel props to be used.

    Determination of Maximum Active Pressure

    Height of Excavation (H) = 1.600 m

    Assume Soil Properties


    γ (kN/m3) = 19 kN/m3

    Ø (°) = ` 30 °

    C' = 0

    Surcharge q = 20.0 kPa

    Active earth prssure coefficient Ka = tan2 (45° - Ø /2) 0.333

    The maximum active pressure at 1.6m (Pa)


    1) Surcharge q1 = q × Ka = 20 × 0.333 6.67 kPa
    2) Soil q2 = γ×h×Ka = 19 × 1.6 × 0.333 10.13 kPa

    1) +2) = 16.8 kN/m2

    Plywood Formwork Checking

    Horizotal Wailing : Assuming 50×100 Timber (1.5m load width and span 100 c/c)

    Design Load :

    W1 = 16.8 kN/m2 × 0.1 m


    = 1.68 kN/m

    Material Properities:

    Z = 100 × 50 2 / 6
    = 41,666.67 mm3

    Allowable Bending Stress = 10.64 MPa ………………………… BS5975 Table 11


    Mallowable = 0.443 kNm

    Design of Vertical Wailing Spacing :

    Assume the horizotal wailing as simply support, then Spacing of Vertical wailing L is:

    L = 8𝑀𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 = 1.45m, we take L = 1.4 m


    𝑊1

    The maximum active pressure of vertical wailing:


    W2 = 16.8 × 1.4 = 23.52 kN/m

    Vertical Wailing : Assuming 50×100 Timber @1400 c/c

    Material Properities:

    Z = 50 × 100 2 / 6
    = 83,333.33 mm3

    Allowable Bending Stress = 10.64 MPa ………………………… BS5975 Table 11


    Mallowable = 0.887 kNm

    Design of Strut Spacing :

    Maximum moment due to surcharge:


    M1 = w1 L12 / 8 = 6.67×L12/8
    = 0.833L12

    Maximum moment due to Soil:


    M2 = w2 L12 / (9√3) = 10.13×L12/ (9√3)
    = 0.65L12

    Mmax= M vertical wailing allowable = M1 + M2


    0.887 = 0.833L12 + 0.65L12
    L1 = 0.77 m
    ≒ 0.75 m

    Ra = w1 L1 / 2 + w2 L1 / 3
    = 6.67*0.75/2 + 10.13*0.75/3
    = 5.03375 kN

    Checking the capacity of Strut


    Pstrut capacity = 20 kN > Ra OK
