OVERVIEW

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE FORMWORK

Rubrica formwork for lining tunnels is an automated system for concreting bored tunnels quickly and easily, minimising time taken and thereby increasing productivity and obtaining an optimum finish. The articulated mould moves independently and is designed to support loading produced during different phases of the concreting process and injection of concrete between the excavated cavity and the mould itself. The system consists of a shell or mould and the form traveller. The shell is the articulated metal mould which forms the final lining. The form traveller is the component which transports and positions the shell via an automated hydraulic

• system. The shell is independent of the form traveller so it is possible to work with

several moulds at the same time using just one form traveller.

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE FORMWORK

• 1. SELF-LAUNCHING SYSTEM

The self-launching falsework system consists

• n

a steel structure lying on supports clamped to reinforced concrete piles, coated with a metal- sheet, to build a concrete slab floor. The structure moves forward as the different parts of the same slide over advancing rollers placed on the supports. The rising of each element of the formwork to put them up to the pouring level, as well as the lowering of the same to separate them from the concrete slab, before the advance movement, is made with hydraulic jacks. Nevertheless the weight

• f

the structure together with the concrete during the pouring process is supported by wedge jacks. This system allows the execution of the whole section of the slab in

• nly
• ne

stage

• f concrete pouring, what avoids the generation of cold joints.

As the precast beams are removed, the task of joining the forge in the piles head becomes much easier. Other advantages in the face of the traditional precast system are that it is not necessary to worry about the supply of precast beams, neither about a park to stock them up. And another positive point to highlight is that the self-launching falsework system avoids to work with rising loads since these kind of works are only necessary in the initial assembly

Each mould is cut into several sections for

• transport. Moulds are equipped with jockey wheels
• r scaffold for positioning when empty, i.e. not filled

with concrete. The different sections of the moulds are closed by means of Dywidag screws and bars. To facilitate concreting and vibration, two types of solutions are available:

• Firstly, two working platforms may be used, one on each side of the mould,

which are screwed together.

• Secondly by using a practical, lightweight mobile scaffold. This scaffold can be

moved from one mould to the next. We recommend a maximum of 1 scaffold every 6 moulds. The mould is opened for removing formwork by a screw extractor located in the the edge of the mould

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE FORMWORK

VERTICAL WAVEWALL

Standard formwork for vertical wavewall formwork construction basically consists of two side panels (landward panel and seaward panel), a front closure panel, called the end panel and a rear transverse beam. In the majority of cases, the seaward panel will be shaped to construct a breakwater on the vertical wavewall formwork. The side panels are slightly longer than the length of the formwork advance to allow an overlap with the previous phase, in order to achieve proper alignment and at the same time prevent any slurry leakage. Both side panels are fastened together by DYWIDAG bars through the concrete and are connected by a crossbeam assembly on the upper section. On the front section they are secured to the end panel whilst on the rear section they are secured to the rear crossbeam. The end panel and the rear crossbeam house wheels which enable the formwork to advance and for the side panels'

• pening-closing systems.

In addition, the formwork is equipped with working platforms to enable access to all the elements which must be handled. For formwork of considerable size, hydraulic cylinders open and close the side panels, whilst for smaller formwork this is via manual ball screws. To prevent forward movement of the mould during concreting, a series of fixings to the section already in place takes advantage of the tie bar holes left in the previous block. During concreting, formwork is held in place by ball screws, usually in the end panel and rear beam. The form traveller is transferred to a new concreting position by movable wheels, for steering during the transfer. Formwork is launched over the work

The mould for the capping beam basically comprises a landward side panel, a seaward side panel, front cover panel which supports the side panels on the front section, hydraulically operated sliding lower panel for the apron area and rear beam which secures the side panels. The side panels are slightly longer than the formwork advance length in order to allow an

• verlap on the rear with the previously concreted

section, thereby facilitating proper alignment between sections, and at the same time preventing slurry leaks. The seaward panel enables sections to be constructed with a special length apron for the sea defence area and anchoring components can be left in position for sea defences.

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE FORMWORK CAPPING BEAM

The mould for the capping beam basically comprises a landward side panel, a seaward side panel, front cover panel which supports the side panels on the front section, hydraulically operated sliding lower panel for the apron area and rear beam which secures the side panels. The side panels are slightly longer than the formwork advance length in order to allow an overlap on the rear with the previously concreted section, thereby facilitating proper alignment between sections, and at the same time preventing slurry leaks. The seaward panel enables sections to be constructed with a special length apron for the sea defence area and anchoring components can be left in position for sea defences. Seaward and landward panels are secured together by tie bars, and via cross beams on the upper

• section. In addition, they are secured to the end

panel on the front section and secure the rear section of the rear beam. Opening and closing the panels and lifting and lowering the mould for the advance, is via hydraulic cylinders located on the rear beam and end panel. The form traveller advance is on suitably sized wheels, positioning the front section on a suitable bed and the rear section directly on the completed previous phase. To prevent the structure tipping over during the concreting process ballast is required to be provided on site with RUBRICA supplying plans and dimensions, plus details of its positioning in the installation. To prevent forward movement of the mould during concreting, a series of fixings to the section already in place takes advantage of the tie bar holes on the previous block. The structure is equipped with platforms in order that the workforce can access the various working areas of the mould.

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE FORMWORK

This type of formwork is a floating modular device for the construction of platforms in ports. It comprises a form which constitutes the formwork base for the port platform over which the concrete is

• poured. The form is divided in two halves lengthways.

Supporting this form, is a reinforced structure on its lower section with telescopic arms for separating the two halves of the form, to adjust its width to the surface to be shuttered. These arms also have the necessary fixings for securing the formwork to a fixed structure. The mould has a series of passive floats to lighten its

• verall weight, and a series of active floats which allow

height adjustment of the formwork. lifting it to position it at concreting level and lowering it for removal of formwork and moving.

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE FORMWORK

When establishing formwork for the construction of underwater walls, it is imperative to bear in mind the formwork crest level, i.e. if this is fully submerged or if the crest is above water level. Based on this, the mould is supplied with a total or partial floatation system, or even no floatation at all. The formwork structure consists of two side panels which are secured together via tie bars, or louvres to prevent deformation of the form traveller, a front panel and a rear beam. The side panels incorporate rear ties to p re v e n t l o n g i t u d i n a l d i s p l a c eme n t , counteracting the pressure of the concrete on the cover panel.
