It contains information on how to set up this system, and on correct, compliant utilisation of the system. ● All persons working with the product described herein must be familiar with the contents of this manual and with all the safety instructions it contains. ● Persons who are incapable of reading and understanding this booklet, or who can do so only with difficulty, must be instructed and trained by the customer. ● The customer is to ensure that the information materials provided by Doka (e.g. User Information booklets, Instructions for Assembly and Use, Operating Instruction manuals, plans etc.) are available to all users, and that they have been made aware of them and have easy access to them at the usage location. Remarks on this document ● This User Information booklet can also be used as a generic method statement or incorporated with a site-specific method statement. ● Many of the illustrations in this booklet show the situation during formwork assembly and are therefore not always complete from the safety point of view. ● Further safety instructions, especially warnings, will be found in the individual sections of this document! Planning ● Provide safe workplaces for those using the formwork (e.g. for when it is being erected/dismantled, modified or repositioned etc). It must be possible to get to and from these workplaces via safe access routes! ● If you are considering any deviation from the details and instructions given in this booklet, or any application which goes beyond those described in the booklet, then revised static calculations must be produced for checking, as well as supplementary assembly instructions. 4 The Formwork Experts Rules applying during all phases of the assignment: ● The customer must ensure that this product is erected and dismantled, reset and generally used for its intended purpose under the direction and supervision of suitably skilled persons with the authority to issue instructions. ● Doka products are ONLY to be used in accordance with the Doka User Information booklets or other technical documentation provided by Doka. ● The stability of all components and units must be ensured during all phases of the construction work! ● The functional/technical instructions, safety warnings and loading data must all be strictly observed and complied with. Failure to do so can cause accidents and severe (even life-threatening) damage to health, as well as very great material damage. ● Fire-sources are not permitted anywhere near the formwork. Heating appliances are only allowed if properly and expertly used, and set up a safe distance away from the formwork. ● The work must take account of the weather conditions (e.g. risk of slippage). In extreme weather, steps must be taken in good time to safeguard the equipment, and the immediate vicinity of the equipment, and to protect employees. ● All connections must be checked regularly to ensure that they still fit properly and are functioning correctly. It is very important to check all screw-type connections and wedge-clamped joins whenever the construction operations require (particularly after exceptional events such as storms), and to tighten them if necessary. Assembly ● The equipment/system must be inspected by the customer before use, to ensure that it is in suitable condition. Steps must be taken to rule out the use of any components that are damaged, deformed, or weakened due to wear, corrosion or rot. ● Combining our formwork systems with those of other manufacturers could be dangerous, risking damage to both health and property. If you intend to combine different systems, please contact Doka for advice first. ● The assembly work must be carried out by suitably qualified employees of the client's. 999801102 - 10/2008 User information Doka guided climbing formwork Xclimb 60 Introduction Erecting the formwork Symbols used ● Doka products and systems must be set up in such a way that all loads acting upon them are safely transferred! The following symbols are used in this booklet: Pouring ● Do not exceed the permitted fresh-concrete pressures. Excessively high pouring rates lead to formwork overload, cause greater deflection and risk causing breakage. Striking the formwork ● Do not strike the formwork until the concrete has reached sufficient strength and the person in charge has given the order for the formwork to be struck! ● When striking the formwork, never use the crane to break concrete cohesion. Use suitable tools such as timber wedges, special pry-bars or system features such as Framax stripping corners. ● When striking the formwork, do not endanger the stability of any part of the structure, or of any scaffolding, platforms or formwork that is still in place! ☞ Important note Failure to observe this may lead to malfunction or damage. Caution / warning / danger Failure to observe this may lead to material damage, and to injury to health which may range up to the severe or even life-threatening. Instruction This symbol indicates that actions need to be taken by the user. Sight-check Indicates that you need to do a sight-check to make sure that necessary actions have been carried out. Transporting, stacking and storing ● Observe all regulations applying to the handling of formwork and scaffolding. In addition, the Doka slinging means must be used - this is a mandatory requirement. ● Remove any loose parts or fix them in place so that they cannot be dislodged or fall free! ● All components must be stored safely, following all the special Doka instructions given in the relevant sections of this User Information booklet! Tip Points out useful practical tips. Reference Refers to other documents and materials. Regulations; industrial safety Miscellaneous ● Always observe all industrial safety regulations and other safety rules applying to the application and utilisation of our products in the country and/or region in which you are operating.

Maintenance ● Only original Doka components may be used as spare parts. 999801102 - 10/2008 The Formwork Experts 5 Introduction User information Doka guided climbing formwork Xclimb 60 Eurocodes at Doka In Europe, a uniform series of Standards known as Eurocodes (EC) was developed for the construction field by the end of 2007. These are intended to provide a uniform basis, valid throughout Europe, for product specifications, tenders and mathematical verification. The EC are the world's most highly developed Standards in the construction field. In the Doka Group, the EC are to be used as standard from the end of 2008. They will thus supersede the DIN norms as the "Doka standard" for product design. Ed Ed Fd Fk γF Design value of effect of actions (E ... effect; d ... design) Internal forces from action Fd (VEd, NEd, MEd) Design value of an action Fd = γF · Fk (F ... force) Characteristic value of an action "actual load", service load (k ... characteristic) e.g. dead weight, live load, concrete pressure, wind Partial factor for actions (in terms of load; F ... force) e.g. for dead weight, live load, concrete pressure, wind Values from EN 12812 Comparison of the safety concepts (example) Permissible stress design 115.5 [kN] Fyield EC/DIN concept Rk 115.5 [kN] Rd gM = 1.1 90<105 [kN] n ~ 1.65 Factual A 98013-100 60 [kN] gF = 1.5 Fpermissible 98013-102 60<70 [kN] A Ed 90 [kN] Factual≤ Fpermissible The widely used "Permissible stress design" (comparing the actual stresses with the permissible stresses) has been superseded by a new safety concept in the EC. The EC contrast the actions (loads) with the resistance (capacity). The previous safety factor in the permissible stresses is now divided into several partial factors. The safety level remains the same! Rd Rd Design value of the resistance (R ... resistance; d ... design) Design capacity of cross-section (VRd, NRd, MRd) Rk Rk Steel: Rd = Timber: Rd = kmod · γM γM Rk Characteristic value of the resistance e.g. moment resistance to yield stress γM Partial factor for a material property (in terms of material; M...material) e.g. for steel or timber Values from EN 12812 kmod Modification factor (only for timber – to take account of the moisture and the duration of load action) e.g. for Doka beam H20 Values as given in EN 1995-1-1 and EN 13377 The "permissible values" communicated in Doka documents (e.g.: Qpermissible = 70 kN) do not correspond to the design values (e.g.: VRd = 105 kN)! ➤ Avoid any confusion between the two! ➤ Our documents will continue to state the permissible values. Allowance has been made for the following partial factors: γF = 1.5 γM, timber = 1.3 γM, steel = 1.1 kmod = 0.9 In this way, all the design values needed in an EC design calculation can be ascertained from the permissible values.

For all subsequent casting sections (see “Regular sequence”), a 2-part lifting chain is sufficient. This middle “Guiding shoe Xclimb 60 rigid” cannot be reached (safely) from the follow-up platform. Before attaching the 4-part lifting chain, dismount the bottom “Guiding shoe Xclimb 60 rigid”, working from the Level –1 followup platform. 999801102 – 10/2008 - 47 - Mounting instructions Mount the “Guiding shoe Xclimb 60 rigid” in the new casting section.

In the typical sequence, the unit is guided in the “Guiding shoes”. For this reason, it is sufficient here if the lifting chains are attached to the two front hoisting points. However, it is equally possible to lift and reset the unit with a four-part lifting chain. This is advantageous when it is necessary to minimise the friction in the “Guiding shoes” (e.g. if the crane only has a low load capacity). (A) (B) For a formwork height of 4.5 m, the chain must be at least 14 m long, or a standard spreader beam (A) should be used (the recommended procedure for this is with site-provided chains (B) that are length-adjustable at the rear). 999801102 – 10/2008 The spread-angle β between the vertical and the crane chain should not be bigger than max. 30°, with a chain length of min. 6 m. In this case, too, it is advisable to use a standard spreader beam. - 55 - Regular sequence Initial situation The formwork is closed, the crane-lifted climbing unit is suspended from the “Guiding shoe Xclimb 60 rigid” at the level of the working platform, in the bottom pressure bolt of the shoe, and so is connected to the structure.

This ensures careful, safe treatment of the equipment: ● The parts must be onloaded and off-loaded, transported and stacked in such a way that it is not possible for them to fall off, tip over or slide apart. ● Only set down the parts or assembly units on flat, firm, clean surfaces. ● Spread-angle β of slinging chains: max. 30°. ● Do not detach parts from the lifting straps until they have been safely set down. ● When transporting the equipment by truck, bundle the components or otherwise secure them against slippage, or else transport them in suitable containers. ● Protect all components against soiling, as this prolongs their service life. ● Clearly arranged, logical storage arrangements reduce the time needed for assembly. ● Using intermediate packing timbers during storage and transport lessens the risk of damage. Please co-ordinate arrangements for return delivery of the equipment with the Doka branch responsible. 70 The Formwork Experts 999801102 - 10/2008 User information Doka guided climbing formwork Xclimb 60 General remarks Doka service offerings Doka customer training Formwork training pays Forming operations account for the lion’s share of labour costs on concrete construction sites. Modern formwork equipment helps to rationalise operations. By improving the overall construction sequence at the same time, however, further very worthwhile gains in efficiency can be achieved. This requires not only better equipment, but also greater skill in making optimum use of this equipment. Doka can help here, with its specialist training programme - to help each and every member of the team do his bit towards boosting efficiency and lowering costs. Doka customer training events also look at the formwork equipment and handling methods that are needed in order to achieve optimum safety - knowledge and awareness which can only enhance workplace safety on the site. You’ll find the Doka training programme well worth looking into. Your nearest Doka branch will be pleased to tell you more about Doka's various training offerings. 999801102 - 10/2008 The Formwork Experts 71 Doka guided climbing formwork Xclimb 60 – the innovative, modular system for a wide range of building-construction uses The Guided Climbing System from Doka saves crane time and is anchored to the structure at all times during lifting.
