Basis Formwork Guide to Good Practice 2nd Edition - Load case 58
Design Data:
Material:
WISA-Form MDO 18mm,
Thickness (t) = 18.0 mm Weight = 12.6 kg/m2
Face grain - Perpendicular to Span EI = 2.650 kN/m2/m
Moment of Resistance fZ = 0.472kN-m/m
Shear Load qA= 7.600 kN/m
Wall Formwork - Load Duration Factor = 1.5
Applied load = 74 kN/m2 Span(L) = 244 mm Support width(b) = 75 mm

1. Loading: W = 74.00 kN/m2 x 0.244m = 18.056 kN/m

2. Bending Moment: M = 0.095WL

= 0.4185kN-m

BM (allow) M = 0.472 kN-m > 0.4185 kN-m OK

3. Shear Force: SF = 0.525 WL (L-B-t)

L
= 0.525 (18.056) kN/m (244-75-18)
244
= 5.87 kN

SF (allow) SF = 7.6 kN > 5.87 kN OK

4. Deflection  = 0.0066 WL3

EI
= 0.0066 (18.056 kN/m)( 0.244m)3(1000)
2.65kN-m2
= 0.65mm

 (allow)  = L/270
= 244 mm  270
= 0.904 mm > 0.65 mm OK
