Formwork design calculations.

Project : Box girder Formwork for 24m span at Raipur for RVNL.

Data

Refer appendix A and B for loads.

Total load 300 T pet 5.8 m per 24.9.

Say 2.1t / m2

1. Runner @ 600 mm c/c

Span = 1.4 m
Moment = 2.1 × 1.4 × 1.4 ×0.6 /8 = 0.309
= 0.31 TM

Take 6cbc = 0.6 fy× 1.25

= 187.5 MPA

Z required = M/ 6cbc = 0.31×10^7/187.5

= 16533.3 mm3

Provide ISMB 150.

Check for Shear

F = 2.1×0.6×1.4/2 = 0.882 T

Shear stress permitted = 0.4 x 250 x 1.25

= 125 MPa

Area required = 0.882 ×1000/ 125 = 70.56 sqmm

Area provided = 1900 sqmm. OK.

2. Rail @ 1400 mm c/c

Span = 3 m
Moment = 2.1 × 3 x 3 x 1.4 /8 = 3.3075 tm

Take 6cbc = 0.6 fy× 1.25

= 187.5 MPA
 Z required = M/ 6cbc = 3.3.75×10^7/187.5
= 176400 mm3

70 x 40 top flange, 16 x 80 web , 135 x 30 bottom flange

Cg of area 83.6 mm from top, total area 8130 sqm

Z = 60+18.67+20.25+293.67 = 392.6 cm3

Provided z = 392600

Check for Shear

F = 2.1×3×1.4/2 = 4.41T

Shear stress permitted = 0.4 x 250 x 1.25

= 125 MPa

Area required = 4.41×1000/ 125 = 352.8 sqmm

Area provided = 6624 sqmm. OK.

3. Design of Trestle
Axial load = 2.1×1.4×3 =8.82t

Angle 50 50 5 x 4 , area = 4.79 cm3

Total = 4× 4.79 = 19.16 cm 2

The compressive stress = 8.82×1000/19.16

= 460 kg / sqcm
Permissible 1250 kg / sqcm. Ok
