the stripping corner is used to
reduce the tension between the
panels so that they can easily be

to the panels (Fig. 34.1).
2. Activate the M stripping Fig. 34.1

Length compensation
Timber filler
Gaps up to 10 cm can be filled
on-site using timber fillers and
Uni-assembly locks 22, while for
gaps up to 16 cm timber fillers
and Uni-assembly locks 28 are
used. The compensation areas
are reinforced with alignment
rails, which must always be
attached to the panels’ multi-
function profiles.
Timber profile
Timber profiles are used for gaps
exceeding 17 cm. A facing is
cut to size and attached to the
timber profiles. Reinforcement
is achieved using alignment
rails which are attached to the
tie holes of the multifunction
profiles with articulated flange
nuts (Figures 36.1 and 36.2).

Stop ends
A stop end can be formed either
with a stop end bracket, column
clamp and alignment rail or a
size 1 M column bracket and Half shell of the Circo circular steel
standard panels. The stop end column formwork
bracket is placed at tie hole
Attention
Never use DW tie rods for stop
ends if these are going to be
subject to shear stress. Tying
must always be done at the Column clamp
column bracket.

Differences in height
The assembly lock can be
attached at any position on the
frame profile (Fig. 44.1). The
formwork’s grid-free design does
not require additional accessories
for panel connection. Vertical,
horizontal and inclined panels
can all be safely and firmly
connected with M assembly
locks, even with differences in
height.

A lot of forming problems can
easily be solved by arranging

When using Mammut 350
panels 125/125 with central tie

push-pull struts or job-built

(Figures 46.1 and 46.2).

Substitution of ties
In certain cases there is no need
to install tie rods in certain tie
holes, or tie rods can be replaced
with alignment rails.
3.50 m
3.00 m
ÆÆ For a pouring height up to
3.50 m, a Uni-tie claw can be at-
tached over the panel instead of
installing ties in the top tie holes
(Fig 47.2).
ÆÆ When increasing the height
of the formwork with a top Fig. 47.1 Fig. 47.2
panel lying horizontally, no tying
is required through the top panel
if the top panel has a maximum
width of 30 cm and if the total
formwork height does not ex-
ceed 3.80 m (Fig. 47.3) provided
the walkway bracket is attached
to the panel below. However, if
the walkway bracket is attached
to the top panel, ties must be
installed in its top tie holes. The
Uni-tie claw in conjunction with
a tie rod and a flange nut 100
can also be used to tie this con-
figuration.
ÆÆ If the horizontal top panel
for height extension has a maxi-
mum width of 1.25 m and the
total formwork height does not
exceed 4.75 m, the top panel
4.75 m
Substitution of ties
ÆÆ When height-extending
with two horizontal panels,
each with a maximum width of
1.25 m, and if the total form-
work height does not exceed
6.00 m, the ties in the bottom
extension panel can be replaced
by two RS 250 alignment rails
(Fig. 48.1).
ÆÆ When combining two
vertical M 350 panels for a total
formwork height of 7.00 m, the
7.00 m
top ties of the top panel can be
6.00 m
replaced by Uni-tie claws that
are attached above the top panel
(Fig. 48.2).
ÆÆ A formwork height of
8.25 m is achieved by extend-
ing a vertical M 350 panel with
another vertical M 350 panel
and a horizontal panel that is
1.25 m wide. For this configura-
tion no ties need to be installed
in the bottom tie holes of the Fig. 48.1 Fig. 48.2
top panel if using alignment
rails (Fig. 48.3). The same is true
when adding another panel with
a width of 1.25 m in horizontal
position for a total formwork
height of 9.50 m (Fig. 48.4).

All panels can be combined

always be connected with the

to be positioned steplessly.

Pouring concrete
Once you have placed, tied,
braced and closed the formwork,
you can start pouring concrete.
When doing so, observe the
permissible rate of placing taking Fig. 64.1
the setting behaviour and the
consistency of the cement into
account (see page M350-10).

Crane slings 60
The crane slings (Fig. 66.1) help
to quickly load and unload trucks
and move panel stacks near the
ground. The lifting hooks are
inserted into the welded sleeves
of the bottom panel frame. After
tightening the crane slings, check
that the hooks are safely locked
(Fig. 66.3).
Attention
A lifting hook must only be used
if its eccentric is easy to turn or
falls automatically into the locked
position (Fig. 66.3). Never use
a lifting hook if you need force
to turn its eccentric. Turning the
eccentric with force may not lock
the lifting hook but only make Fig. 66.2
it appear to be in the locked
position. This may cause the
lifting hook to slip when lifting
the panel stack.

Lifting hook 60
The lifting hook (Figures. 67.1
and 67.2) can be used with
any 4-rope crane sling on the
construction site to transport
panel stacks. Always use four
hooks at once. To calculate
the permissible load-bearing
capacity, assume that only two
hooks are used.
Attention
A lifting hook must only be used
if its eccentric is easy to turn
or falls automatically into the
locked position (Fig. 66.3 on
page M350‑66). Never use Fig. 67.1
a lifting hook if you need force
to turn its eccentric. Turning
the eccentric with force may
not lock the lifting hook but
only make it appear to be in the

the lifting hook to slip out when
lifting the panel stack.
