FRANK I stremaform

stremaform ® formwork elements

The material:

The supporting construction is a special steel

mesh. During production an expanded metal
mesh 16/6/1/1 mm is welded in between. The
result is a deection resistant construction.
According to tests carried out by the Techni-
cal University of Brunswick, the resistance of
these construction joints to shear forces is
identical to the values obtained with monolithic
concrete. When using Stremaform for bucket
foundations the transferable shear forces are
approximately 37% higher than with traditional
indented joints to DIN 1045-1.

■ Stremaform is dimensionally stable and

designed to withstand concrete pressure
during the pour.
■ Installed Stremaform formwork elements
remain in the concrete and can be recycled
together with steel mesh.
■ Stremaform mesh width can be adapted by
our design department to your specic
needs.

The main application of Stremaform is for working joints in concrete Further applications for Strema-
and reinforced concrete elements: form formwork elements are:

■ used for working construction joints ■ for sloping, rectangular or circular ■ stop ends in underwater slabs
in oor slabs, ceilings and walls formwork ■ for control joints
■ with cut-outs for reinforcement ■ can be used as a displacement ■ movement joints with joint separa-
■ with a welded metal strip as a element in the concrete ting plate and support cage for pvc/
water stop rubber water stops
■ for temporary box-outs
■ with a welded in cage in which a
pvc/rubber water bar can be
inserted on site
