General Guidelines
INTRODUCTION
Purpose:
To provide technical data for the proper usage of the Alumalite Truss II
as part of an engineered system.
This information is intended to be used by technically qualified individuals with appropriate

knowledge of general forming and shoring design principals and engineering design
fundamentals.
The technical data presented in this document is based upon theoretical calculations or testing.
Calculations and testing have both been done in accordance with applicable design standards
(please see appendix).
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFE USE OF ALUMA EQUIPMENT
The following guidelines are intended to ensure that designers and experienced users address
the following critical issues while designing any forming or shoring applications or otherwise
using Aluma equipment. These guidelines should not be assumed to be all-encompassing. IF
YOU ARE IN DOUBT OR IN NEED OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OR ADVICE, YOU MUST
CONTACT ALUMA SYSTEMS ENGINEERING.
1) NEVER exceed the loads shown on the load charts for any application unless approved
in advance by Aluma Engineering.
2) Whenever Aluma equipment is used to support sloping slabs or beams, careful

consideration of the effects of sideways and lateral loads must be taken into account.
Connections between plywood, beams, stringers and trusses are especially

important to maintain stability whenever sloping concrete is supported.
3) Whenever wood packing is used on top chords, Aluma Joists and Ledgers, careful
consideration must be given to the effect of such packing on the stability and load
capacity of the top chords, Aluma Beams, Stringers and Strongbacks. In some cases,
the height of the packing may necessitate the use of Aluma Packing Clips or custom
connectors.
4) Never use Aluma members that are deformed outside specifications or in excess of
limitations.

V. 3.1
viii Engineering Manual
General Guidelines
5) Always design the forming or shoring layout for the specific application at hand. UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU RELY ON LAYOUT INFORMATION FROM ANY
PREVIOUS CONSTRUCTION OR APPLICATION. RELIANCE ON PRIOR LAYOUTS
MAY RESULT IN AN IMPROPER DESIGN THAT MAY RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS
BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
6) Stability of Aluma Beams and Stringers is highly dependent upon the stability of the
trusses used to support them. Always ensure that the shoring is properly braced and the
height-to-base ratio of any independent shoring table does not exceed allowable values
stated in National, State, Provincial or local codes. This is particularly important for
applications involving sloping slabs and beams.
7) During table assembly, obey all safety codes and tie-off regulations. It is imperative that
experienced personnel supervise the overall erection, utilizing the approved drawings
and layout for the forming and shoring system to ensure that the completed installation is
in strict compliance with approved drawings and layout as well as the requirements of this
supplement. Careful planning of the assembly sequence is recommended, to ensure that
the safety of the erectors is assured at all times.
8) DO NOT use non-Aluma products as substitutes for Aluma equipment.
9) Whenever Aluma equipment is subjected to dynamic sideways loads, during construction

from motorized equipment, such as screed machines, concrete pumps etc, careful
consideration of the effects of such loads must be made.
10) Aluma Systems Engineering Manual has comprehensive data on all Aluma Systems

products. When designing applications involving Aluma Systems products, BE SURE TO
USE THE LATEST DESIGN DATA. A copy of the latest version of the Aluma Systems

Engineering Manual is available to qualified individuals upon request.

(2) These member capacities are applicable to both Standard and Modified Truss II
(4) Extension Staff to be extended in increments of 75 mm.
(5) For extension H greater than 2925 mm, 56 kN capacity can be obtained by providing transverse and longitudinal
diagonal bracing on both top and bottom extension staffs (consult engineering for details).
(6) For tables with overall height to width ratio more than 3:1, lateral brace should be provided.
(7) If equipment above the top chord is laterally braced in two directions, then the height of that equipment (B) may be
assumed to be zero for the purpose of determining the leg load capacities.

Aluma Beam Design Manual - International


Table Design Guideline
Design Procedure
1. Check maximum & minimum shoring height to determine the suitability of the truss depth & extension
staffs.
2. Check minimum height of structural opening and compare it with the minimum depth of the collapsed table
to see whether the table can pass through. Determine and check whether the table can be flown with
glides or rollers and add at least 50 mm working tolerance.
3. Check that all tables can be safely flown out of the building.
4. Calculate the expected uniformly distributed load (U.D.L.) on the table.
5. Assume the thickness of plywood to be no less than 17mm and no further information about the plywood,
use joist spacing as listed below:
< 250mm thick slab 610mm c/c maximum
250 - < 300mm thick slab 488mm c/c maximum
6. Capacity of Joists needs to be checked according to their applied load and span.
7. Consider a two-truss table with supports at 2.44 m c/c. Calculate the expected maximum leg load in the
table with maximum width. Compare this value with the allowable load at maximum top and bottom
extensions as listed in Section 3: Design Data of the Alumalite Truss II Technical Manual.
8. If the expected load is greater than the allowable, adjust the spacing of support. The support spacing can
be at 1.83 m c/c or 1.22 m c/c. (Note: If the supports have to be at 1.22 m c/c, Square Ends are required at
the ends of the truss.)
9. If the expected leg load is still higher than allowable, split the Table into two or use three trusses per table.
10. Once the table width and the number of trusses per table have been determined, use the data from the
Aluma Beam Design Manual - International to determine the crossbrace size and joist spacing. (In order to
minimize beam lengths, standard length beams can be staggered to obtain the required dimensions.)
11. Check size of sub-ledger, if used, and spacing of the steel packer for the sub-ledger.
12. Check top chord capacity and deflection for any concentrated load.
13. Check maximum expected leg load under concentrated load. Make sure that they are within the allowable
as listed in Section 3: Design Data of the Alumalite Truss II Technical Manual.

14. Whenever a 3.66m & 4.88m tables are used, tie down is required.
15. Always use 3.66m table with square end at the end.

Design Tips
1. The maximum recommended width of a two-truss table is 5.40 m (when using 122 or 140 Beam as joist).
Three-truss tables should be used for wider tables up to a maximum width of 10.2 m. For dimensions
greater than 10.2 m, two tables should be considered.
2. In three-truss tables, if the joist is not a continuous piece a stiffening joist long enough to cover all three
trusses must be added at every truss jack location.
3. Have the joists sit directly on the top chord whenever possible.
4. Make sure that the table can pass under the deepest beam with sufficient handling tolerance when it is in
flying position. Check the depth of glides or swivel rollers used and allow at least another 50 mm for
handling.
5. The distance from the top of the previous slab to the bottom of the bottom chord must be at least 830 mm
so that the screwjack can be removed from the truss during flying. If the distance is less than 800 mm,
swivel rollers with jack retainers should be used during flying.
6. Modified Trusses should always use swivel rollers, drop centre dollies, or landing dollies in flying. Never
use low glides to fly a Modified Truss Table.
7. When using the truss jack in a three-truss table, the crossbrace brackets must be offset by 220 mm to allow
room for the truss jacks to fold up.
V. 3.0
Design Tips continued...
8. The chord splice plate is shorter than the truss jack hinge, so the truss jack hinge will not be in continuous
contact with the splice plate when they are used in the same location. In this case, additional washers
should be used to fill the gap between the bottom chord and truss jack hinge.
9. When using the 1.8 m Deep Truss with Extension Staff, the maximum free length between the bottom
chord and the slab on which the jacks sit should be limited to 1.50 m (300 mm jack extension plus 1.20 m
staff extension).
10. Always provide horizontal braces between the bottom chords of the 1.8 m deep truss when extension staffs
are used.
11. The hole patterns in the top and bottom chords are the same, thus they can be used in any combination to
form a special truss as required.

In the stability check, 0.40 kN/m2 can be used as the self weight of the table. Under normal working conditions, a
factor of safety 2:1 should be used for all table forms to prevent overturning.

STRIPPING PROCEDURE
Before starting the stripping procedure, of the table forms, the entire working area must be cleared of
excess materials such as concrete, steel or plywood pieces. These measures will help to increase the
levels of safety and efficiency.
STEP 1. For tables with Aluma Beamside Hinge equipment: Release Beamside Latch, Open
Beamside Form and Strip Wood fillers (For Table without Beamside Hinge, start

Ensure all overhead stripping work is completed.

Release all Screwjacks by approximately 6mm (1/4) by turning the Screwjack Handle counter-
clockwise for 1 full turn; use a one-metre long pipe as a lever, if necessary.
Disengage the U-Pins at all the intermediate Extension Staffs, retract the Extension Staffs completely

into the Outer Legs, secure the Extension Staffs in the retracted position using the U-Pins and Hitch
Pins, leaving the four corner Screwjacks and Extension Staffs in position.

Pick up the intermediate Screwjacks and attach them to the Screwjack Hook at the Top Chord. Ensure
that the Screwjacks will not come out during flying.
Place the Single Low Glides directly under the Bottom Chords, use a set of low glides as close to the
slab edge as possible (but still under the Bottom Chord) and the other glides at approximately 60% of the
truss length (from the end of the Truss outside the building). Install a stopper at the slab edge, to prevent
the low glides from moving towards the edge of the building.

LOWERING DEVICE
25.0 mm
[1.000"]
Position the four Lowering Devices approximately 35% and 65% from the end of the truss outside the
building. Make sure that the Lifting Plate on the Lowering Device is pinned to the top hole at the Mast
(Upper Position).
Position properly and raise the Lifting Plate by turning the Crank Handle clockwise to approximately 25
mm (1) below the Bottom Chords of the Trusses.
Release all Screwjacks by turning the Screwjack Handle counter-clockwise; use a one-metre long pipe
as a lever, if necessary. Self weight of the Table should release itself from concrete and become fully
supported by the Lowering Device. Ensure that the Table Form has dropped free from the concrete.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE TRUSS IN AN EFFORT TO RELIEVE THE LOAD ON

THE TRUSS JACKS
The Table is now sitting on the Lowering Devices, free of the concrete. The fillers (if any) on either side
of the Table are now quite visible. They should be knocked loose and moved to their next usage point.
Note: Table should not be flown with loose material on top.
Any other non-standard conditions must be addressed such as loose beam form, additional post shore
etc.
Remove all remaining U-Pins from the extension staff.

Removal of Formwork Striking Time
1. Introduction
Removal of formwork and allowing the structure to support itself has for a long time been a matter of
judgment. A guide to good practice is to re-prop, i.e. replace some of the original supports in a sequence
to avoid damage to the young concrete.
In ACI 347 Clause 3.7.2.1 recommended that The engineer/architect should specify the minimum
strength of the concrete to be attained before removal of forms or shores. The strength can be
determined by tests on job-cured specimens or on in-place concrete. and in Clause 3.7.2.3 Because
the minimum stripping time is a function of concrete strength, the preferred method of determining
stripping time is using tests of job-cured cylinders or concrete in place.
In BS 8110 Clause 6.9.3.2 mentioned that It may be possible to use shorter periods before striking
formwork by determining the strength of the concrete in the structural element. Formwork supporting
cast in situ concrete in flexure may be struck when the strength of the concrete in the element is 10 MPa
or twice the stress to which it will be subjected, whichever is greater, provided that striking at this time will
not result in unacceptable deflection. This strength may be assessed by test on cubes, as far as
possible, under the same conditions as the concrete in the element.
We can strike the formwork with the support shoring when the new poured concrete reaches the required
strength.
Care should be taken when removing formwork in order to prevent impact on the partially hardened
concrete.
To determine when we can strike the formwork and shoring we need to first determine:
1. Load on structure when striking takes place

2. Strength of concrete required to take the load
3. When this strength can be achieved.
Always consult local codes and project structural consultant for more details on striking times

and obtain written approval from the project consultant engineer before first striking takes place.

2. Loading on Structure
When striking, the structure needs to take its self weight plus construction imposed load on top as
required.
A standard density for reinforced concrete of 2,500 kg/m3 is recommended to use for the calculation of
self weight of structure.
If re-shores will be installed immediately (before landing of Table Form on slab) the construction imposed
load can be considered as 0.75 kPa. Otherwise, 1.50 kPa should be used as recommended by BS
5975.
V. 3.0
Engineering Manual H.1
3. Strength of Concrete Required at Striking
It will be too much work for the contractor to redesign the structure with only self weight and construction
load.
As the loading during construction is always less than the original design live load, the steel provided in
the structure will not be a governing factor. It can then be assumed that the capacity of the structure is
directly proportion to the strength of concrete. By comparing the load at striking with the total final design
load, we can obtain the strength of concrete required at striking.
Ratio = Total Load at Strike/ Total Original Design Load
Concrete Strength required for Striking = Design Concrete Strength x Ratio
Then we need determine when the concrete will reach the required strength for striking.
4. Strength of Concrete
The main characteristics influencing the length of time to build up the required strength of concrete is:
Concrete mix design

Additive used
Temperature
Curing Condition
The following table from CIRIA Report 136 gives us an idea the minimum striking time required for slab
and beam with normal concrete at different curing temperature without insulating the top surface.
Minimum Striking times in days for slab and beam soffit

with an uninsulated top surface (From CIRIA Report 136)

50 15 PC-42.5 4 3 2.5
20 5 4 3
30 10 8 6
Of course, higher concrete grades will lead to shorter striking time. When rapid construction is required,
tables should not be used to determine the striking time.

V. 3.0
H.2 Engineering Manual
In-situ test methods such as test specimens cured in site condition or pull-out tests are appropriate.
Predictive methods are useful for planning striking of formwork. As an example, the maturity needed to
achieve 10 MPa can vary from 1.5 to 4 days at 15oC. The contractor should check with his local
concrete supplier for more data. Formwork striking times may be reduced by increasing the early
strength of concrete by:
1. Using cements with rapid strength development
2. Using accelerating admixtures
3. Using higher concrete strength
4. Specifying a higher placing temperature
5. Increasing/using efficient insulation of formwork
6. Accelerating the curing of the concrete
5. Work Example
The following example is used as an illustration for striking a 200mm slab with concrete design strength
of 25 MPa.
Assume the following:
Concrete density = 24.5 kN/m3
200mm Slab = 24.5 x .2= 4.9 kN/m2
Construction load = 1.5 kN/m2
Total (Striking) = 6.4 kN/m2
Slab Designed with the following data: fc = 25 MPa
200mm Slab= 24.5 x .2 = 4.9 kN/m2
Partition= 1.0 kN/m2
Finish = 0.5 kN.m2
Live Load= 4.8 kN/m2

Total (Design/slab Loads) = 11.2 kN/m2

Ratio = Total (Striking Loads)/ Total (Design/slab Loads) = 6.4/11.2 = 0.57
Therefore Concrete Strength required for Striking = 0.57 x 25 = 14.25 MPa
From Table above, it takes 6.5 days at 15o C for the concrete to reach the required strength of 14.25
MPa.
Note that regular concrete with no strength accelerator is used in this example.
If Concrete Design Strength = 50 MPa, from Table above, it takes about 2.5 days at 15oC for the
concrete to reach a strength of 15 MPa.
Determine by test or other means if the in-situ concrete has indeed reached the required strength at the
time of striking..
