Introduction

Elementary safety warnings

User target groups
This booklet is aimed at all persons who will be work-
ing with the Doka product or system that it describes. It contains information on the standard design for setting 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 booklet and with all the safety instructions it contains.
Persons who are incapable of reading and under-
standing 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 mate-
rials provided by Doka (e.g. User Information book­lets, Instructions for Assembly and Use, Operating Instruction manuals, plans etc.) are up to date and available to all users, and that they have been made aware of them and have easy access to them at the usage location.
In the relevant technical documentation and form-
work utilisation plans, Doka shows the workplace safety precautions that are necessary in order to use the Doka products safely in the usage situations shown. In all cases, users are obliged to ensure compliance with national laws, standards and regulations throughout the entire project and to take appropriate additional or alternative workplace safety precau­tions where necessary.
Hazard assessment
Remarks on this booklet
This document can be used as general Instructions
for Assembly and Use (Method Statement) or be incorporated into site-specific Instructions for Assembly and Use (Method Statement).
The graphics, animations and videos in this doc-
ument or app sometimes depict partially assem­bled assemblies and may require additional safety equipment and/or measures to comply with safety regulations.
The customer must ensure all applicable regulations are complied with, even if they are not shown or implied in the graphics, animations and videos pro­vided.
Individual sections contain further safety
instructions and/or special warnings as applica­ble.
Planning
Provide safe workplaces for those using the form-
work (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.
The customer is responsible for drawing up, docu-
menting, implementing and continually updating a hazard assessment at every job-site. This booklet serves as the basis for the site-specific hazard assessment, and for the instructions given to users on how to prepare and utilise the system. It does not substitute for these, however.
Regulations; industrial safety
All laws, Standards, industrial safety regulations and
other safety rules applying to the utilisation of our products in the country and/or region in which you are operating must be observed at all times.
If a person or object falls against, or into, the side-
guard component and/or any of its accessories, the component affected may only continue in use after it has been inspected and passed by an expert.

User Information Framed formwork Framax Xlife plus Introduction
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 in accordance with the applica­ble laws, standards and rules, under the direction and supervision of suitably skilled persons. These persons' mental and physical capacity must not in any way be impaired by alcohol, medicines or drugs.
Doka products are technical working appliances
which are intended for industrial / commercial use only, always in accordance with the respective Doka User Information booklets or other technical docu­mentation authored by Doka.
The stability and load-bearing capacity of all compo-
nents and units must be ensured during all phases of the construction work!
Do not step on or apply strain to cantilevers, clo-
sures, etc. until suitable measures to ensure their stability have been correctly implemented (e.g. by tie-backs).
Strict attention to and compliance with the functional
instructions, safety instructions and load specifica­tions are required. Non-compliance can cause acci­dents and severe injury (risk of fatality) and consid­erable damage to property.
Sources of fire in the vicinity of the formwork are pro-
hibited. Heaters are permissible only when used cor­rectly and situated a correspondingly safe distance from the formwork.
Customer must give due consideration to any and all
effects of the weather on the equipment and regards both its use and storage (e.g. slippery surfaces, risk of slipping, effects of the wind, etc.) and implement appropriate precautionary measures to secure the equipment and surrounding areas and to protect workers.
All connections must be checked at regular intervals
to ensure that they are secure and in full working order. In particular threaded connections and wedged con­nections have to be checked and retightened as nec­essary in accordance with activity on the jobsite and especially after out-of-the-ordinary occurrences (e.g. after a storm).
It is strictly forbidden to weld Doka products – in par-
ticular anchoring/tying components, suspension components, connector components and castings etc. – or otherwise subject them to heating.
Welding causes serious change in the microstruc­ture of the materials from which these components are made. This leads to a dramatic drop in the failure load, representing a very great risk to safety.
It is permissible to cut individual tie rods to length with metal cutting discs (introduction of heat at the end of the rod only), but it is important to ensure that flying sparks do not heat and thus damage other tie rods.
The only articles which are allowed to be welded are those for which the Doka literature expressly points out that welding is permitted.
Assembly
The equipment/system must be inspected by the
customer before use, to ensure that it is in an accept­able condition. Steps must be taken to exclude com­ponents that are damaged, deformed, or weakened due to wear, corrosion or rot (e.g. fungal decay).
Using our safety and formwork systems together
with those of other manufacturers can create risks that may lead to injury and damage to property. This requires separate verification.
The equipment/system must be assembled and
erected in accordance with the applicable laws, standards and rules by trained customer personnel whilst maintaining any applicable safety inspections that may be required.
It is not permitted to modify Doka products; such
modifications constitute a safety risk.
Closing the formwork
Doka products and systems must be set up so that
all loads acting upon them are safely transferred!
Pouring
Do not exceed the permitted fresh-concrete pres-
sures. Over-high pouring rates overload the form­work, cause greater deflection and risk breakage.
Stripping the formwork
Do not strip out the formwork until the concrete has
reached sufficient strength and the person in charge has given the order for the formwork to be stripped out!
When stripping out 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 stripping out 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!
5999811202 - 04/2019
Introduction User Information Framed formwork Framax Xlife plus
Transporting, stacking and storing
Observe all country-specific regulations applying to
the handling of formwork and scaffolding. For system formwork the Doka slinging means stated in this booklet must be used – this is a mandatory require­ment.
If the type of sling is not specified in this document, the customer must use slinging means that are suit­able for the application envisaged and that comply with the regulations.
When lifting, always make sure that the unit to be
lifted and its individual parts can absorb the forces that occur.
Remove loose parts or secure them so that they can-
not slip out of position and drop.
All components must be stored safely, following all
the special Doka instructions given in the relevant sections of this document!
Maintenance
Only original Doka components may be used as
spare parts. Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised facilities.
Miscellaneous
The weights as stated are averages for new material; actual weights can differ, depending on material toler­ances. Dirt accretions, moisture saturation, etc. can also affect weight.
We reserve the right to make alterations in the interests of technical progress.

Framed formwork Framax Xlife plus

Panels with centrally arranged form-tie points, designed to complement Framax Xlife
An extension of the proven Framed formwork system Framax Xlife, the new Framax Xlife plus panels offer a fast and reliable way of implementing special require­ments with respect to form-tie and joint patterns, with no need to invest in a whole new formwork system.
Faster working
with a single sided, conical tie rod system
the Tie rod system Framax Xlife plus can be oper-
ated from one side, offering savings of up to one third in forming and stripping times
shorter forming times as some of the tasks have
been eliminated, e.g. cutting and fitting of jacket tubes and cones
less time spent searching as the form-tie 'parking'
position is right at the form-tie point
Highly cost-efficient
thanks to both tried-and-tested and new product features
no material costs associated with form-tie points,
e.g. for wearing parts of the form-tie sleeve, jacket tubes and cones
wide spacing between form-ties (1.35 m apart)
saves up to twelve per cent of the costs for form-tie points and finishing work on form-tie holes
high numbers of repeat uses made possible by
excellent manufacturing quality and extra-durable Xlife sheets
steel frames are hot-dip galvanised, both inside and
out, for long lifespan
form ties are opened and closed using a ratchet for
minimal wear-and-tear on equipment
Easy handling and planning
thanks to the consistent system logic
the small number of additional panel types ensures
optimum material use and effective logistics
the extra-large square panel enables vertical stack-
ing with standard horizontal panels, without a multi­tude of additional small panels
errors in form-tie setting are eliminated since every
single form-tie point is used
Harmonic architectural surfaces
with regular form-tie and joint patterns
consistent joint pattern thanks to matching panel for-
mats, even when combining upright and horizontal panels
no screw imprints on the concrete because the form-
work sheet is fixed from the rear
centrally arranged form-tie points resulting in sym-
metrical form-tie patterns
aesthetically pleasing form-tie points thanks to uni-
form conical imprints

Instructions for assembly and use for room-high formwork

The sequence shown here is based on a straight wall. However, you should always start to form from the cor­ner outwards.
Ladders must be located so as to create viable 'traffic routes' in the horizontal. (On a straight wall, for exam­ple, one ladder on the first element and another on the last).
Transporting / handling the panels
For offloading panels from a truck, or lifting them on-
site a stack at a time, use the Framax transport gear (see 'Transporting, stacking and storing').
To separate the panels, use Framax transport bolts
and the Doka 4-part chain 3.20m (see 'Transporting, stacking and storing').
Pre-assembly
Pre-assemble elements face-down on an assembly
bench (see 'Inter-panel connections').
With the gang-form still flat, mount panel struts to it
(see 'Plumbing accessories').
Mount the Ladder system XS (see 'Ladder system').
Raise the gang-form by crane.Spray the formwork sheet with release agent (see
the section headed 'Cleaning and care of your equip­ment').
Fly the gang-form to its new location.
CAUTION
Never use a sledge-hammer to plumb and align the panels!
This would damage the profiles of the gangs.
Use only proper plumbing tools (e.g. a spe-
cial pry-bar) that cannot cause any damage.
Fix the panel struts firmly to the ground (see the sec-
tion headed 'Plumbing accessories').
98112-227-01
Closing the formwork
Attach the lifting chain to the Framax lifting hook (see
the section headed 'Lifting by crane' and the Operat­ing Instructions for the 'Framax lifting hook').
Max. load:
Spread angle β up to 30°:
1000 kg (2200 lbs) / Framax lifting hook
Spread angle β up to 7.5°:
1500 kg (3300 lbs) / Framax lifting hook
Framax lifting hooks with the rated load-bearing capacity of max. 1000 kg (2200 lbs) also comply with the requirements for a load bearing capacity of 1500 kg (3300 lbs) at a spread angle β 7.5°.
98112-227-03
The gang-form is now stable and can be plumbed and aligned exactly, with no need for the crane.
Detach the gang-form from the crane. The crew can
reach the slinging points by standing on a step stool.
Slot the pouring platform into place (see the section
headed 'Pouring platforms').

NOTICE
Comply with the stipulated stripping times.
Remove any loose items from the formwork and plat-
forms, or secure them firmly.
Attach the gang-form of the opposing formwork to
the crane (wherever possible, operate the lifting hook from the opposite pouring platform).
Take out the form ties and undo the connectors to
the adjacent panels.
In order to speed up operations when lifting and repositioning by crane, most of the form ties can be taken out in advance.
Important! There must be at least as many form ties left in place as are needed to keep the panel safely in the upright.
WARNING
The formwork tends to adhere to the concrete. When stripping the formwork, do not try to break concrete cohesion using the crane!
Risk of crane overload.
Use suitable tools such as timber wedges or
a special pry-bar to detach the formwork from the concrete.
Lift the gang-form away and to its next location.
If the gang-form is 'parked' prior to its next use, it must have sufficient stability (see the section headed 'Plumbing accessories'). Gang-forms with only one panel strut must not be 'parked' upright, but placed face-down.
Clean residual concrete off the formwork sheet (see
the section headed ‘Cleaning and care’).
Where the gang-form has panel struts and a pouring
platform attached to it, first attach this gang-form to the crane, and only then detach the floor anchorages of the panel struts.

Framax multi function clamp:
Permitted tensile force: 15.0 kN Permitted shear force: 9.0 kN Permitted moment: 0.9 kNm Values apply only when mounted on profile.
Particularly when panels are stacked in the vertical, the fact that the clamp bears directly on the profiles means that there is often no need for any extra bracing of the panels with universal walings.

Using additional universal walings gives gang-forms better rigidity, especially in higher vertically stacked configurations. This makes it possible to pick up and set down large gang-forms by crane without any prob­lems. The additional universal walings are also useful for transferring the loads from platforms.
Note:
Instead of the universal waling, it is also possible to use a Multi-purpose waling WS10 Top50.

Closure width in the inside corner
Closure width c = panel width b [cm] - 30 cm - wall thickness a [cm]
Example:
Wall thickness = 25 cm
=> Panel width (b) = 60 cm (0.60m)
Closure width = 60 cm - 30 cm - 25 cm = 5 cm
When there is a closure on both sides of the inside corner, bracing can be achieved eco­nomically with the universal corner waling.

Shaft formwork

Inside formwork
The Framax-stripping corner I is used to form right­angled inside corners in the shaft.
Framax stripping corner I
With the Stripping corner I, the entire shaft formwork unit is detached from the wall, in one piece, before being lifted and reset by crane.
Product features:
No negative impression in the concrete.Formwork set-up and stripping function integrated in
the inside corner (no need for crane – uses stripping spindles).
Entire shaft formwork unit is lifted and reset in one
piece (with lifting hooks and four-part lifting chain).

Inter-panel connections for increased tensile loads

As a rule, only 2 clamps are needed per 2.70 m and 3 clamps per 3.30 m formwork height as a tension link
between the panels. However, where increased tensile loads need to be
sustained near outside corners and stop-ends, extra
clamps are needed.

For more information, see the Calculation Guide 'Wind loads to the Eurocodes', or con­sult your Doka technician!
Note: Every gang-form must be supported by at least 2
plumbing accessories.
Example: Where the formwork height is 7.20 m, the fol­lowing are needed for every 5.40 m wide gang-form:
2 panel struts 3404 panel struts 540
9 -2 -08112 94 2
Plumbing accessories brace the formwork against wind loads and make it easier to plumb and align.
WARNING Risk of the formwork tipping over!
Formwork panels must be held stable in
every phase of construction work!
Observe all applicable safety rules!If high wind speeds are likely, and when
work finishes for the day or before prolonged work-breaks, always take extra precautions to fix the formwork in place. Suitable precautions:
- set up the opposing formwork
- place the formwork against a wall
- anchor the formwork to the ground (e.g. with Framax floor fixing plates)

wind loads encountered at exposed formwork-ends must be constructionally sustained by additional plumb­ing accessories (e.g. struts or pipe-braces). In cases where higher wind pressure is encountered, the num­ber of struts must be determined by statical calculation!

The level of the floor planking is 13 cm below the top edge of the formwork. This means that there is a 'boundary' on the side facing the formwork.
Lifting the platform off the formwork:
Attach a four-part lifting chain to the platform and
raise it. When the platform is raised by the four-part lifting
chain on the safety hook, the platform is automati­cally unlocked.

If under exceptional circumstances the platform is mounted at an offset to the outer edge of the panel, the bearing profile of the lifting adapter has to be widened.
Push a hollow section into the bearing profile and
secure it with a screw to prevent it dropping out.

When lifting gang-forms together with opposing guard-rails assembled from the Edge protection system XP, remember the following points:
The guard rails must be in the vertical position when
the gang-form is raised or laid down.
Elastic deformation of the guard rails may occur
because the 4-part chain is resting against the pro­tective grating or guard-rail boards while the gang­form is being lifted.
When a gang-form is lifted, repositioned or laid
down, the 4-part chain must not be led around the protective grating or the guard-rail board.
