ALFORM TECHNICAL DATA
INTRODUCTION
The Alform is the product of careful research, development
and refinement by RMD Kwikform Limited.

The Alform beam has unique inclined twin webs which,

together with the edge stiffenings, provide great lateral
stability and robustness in use. Plywood formwork is simply
attached by nail connection to the timber batten provided in
the upper flange, and the bevelled edge to the top flange
allows for easy removal of the formwork on completion of
use.

A central neutral axis ensures a very economical section,

particularly in multi-span applications, and, coupled with its
range of accessories, the Alform beam provides contractors
with a very cost effective formwork system.

BEAM PROPERTIES
Moment of Resistance (XX Axis) 10kNm
Modulus of Elasticity (E) 6890kN/cm2
Flexural Rigidity (EI) 385kNm2
Moment of Inertia (I xx) 558cm4
Shear Rigidity (xx GA) 18489kN
Position of Neutral Axis above base 74.6mm
Section Modulus (XX Axis) 74.1cm3
Cross Sectional Area 17.62cm2
Weight/Unit length:
