Each formwork panel is 2.4 m wide (the photo shows three panels) and there are 2 PERI SB Brace Frames per panel. The 6 brace frames in the photo are equally spaced. What is the spacing of the SB Brace Frames? ‘A load is exerted on wall formwork by wet concrete. The pressure diagram as shown above includes a maximum pressure on the wall of ps kN/m? (the concrete pour rate is such that it sets during the pour and the pressure is limited to that maximum pressure). The total pour height (as shown, including the ‘liquid’ concrete) is H. Above the set concrete, the liquid concrete exerts a hydrostatic pressure on the wall (the triangular load) for a height h. Describe how you would calculate the total horizontal load (P) on the wall. P The two support points (Vi and V2) on the Brace Frames are a distance L apart. The anchor (2) is at an angle of 45°. The load resultant from the anchor (2) and the support point closest to the wall form (V3) pass through the same point. Describe how you would calculate the force in the anchor (Z) and the support forces Vy and V2, for an individual SB Brace Frame.
