Determining your Tyscru Requirement Coil penetration

TYSCRU
TYSCRU
Tyscru: The Tyscru length is determined by subtracting each set back requirement from the wall thickness at the
tie location. Lagstud or lagstud bolt length is determined by adding the form thickness to the set back on one side
plus the Tyscru coil length plus 13 mm (½”). Lagstud or Lagstud Bolt are furnished standard in even 50 mm (2”) Lagstud Bolt length
lengths. Select the next higher full unit over actual length determined. For extreme adjustment requirements,
25 mm to 50 mm (1” to 2”) may be added.
Wall Thickness: Distance between the form facings at the Tyscru location. Plumb Wall Form
Set Back: Required distance of Ty metal from the finished concrete face with or without the use of Tycones. Form thickness Wall thickness
Set back may be required at one or both faces, usually both. Total set back is the sum of set backs from both wall
faces. When Tycones are used, their length is equal to the required set back. Flat Washer thickness
Form Thickness: Distance measured between the finished concrete surface to the outside face of the flat washer — Setback (Tycones optional)
includes plywood sheeting material, studs, wales and washer.
Coil Penetration: Distance the Lagstud should penetrate the Tyscru coil length plus 13 mm (½"). Tyscru length
General instructions: For extreme penetration or extended concrete curing requirements, the Lagstud or Lagstud
Bolt is normally greased to facilitate removal. To break the bond and permit easy removal, it is a good practice to
turn the lagstud or lagstud bolt a quarter to one-half turn, in and out, eight to twelve hours after the concrete has
been poured.

Determining total load

To determine the total load to be supported by each falsework bracket, compute the total mass (weight of concrete)
plus the liveload (weight of form and other temporary loads) and divide by the number of brackets to be used.

Density of concrete assumed = 2,400 kg/m3 (150 lb/ft3)
