Most flexible Girder wall formwork system
- for architectural requirement

09.10.2015
 PERI VARIO Girder Wall Formwork
 The versatile girder wall formwork, customized and assembled
specially for each project:
 Type and size of plywood – depends on finish & repetition
 Element width and heights – as per Architect's requirement
 Horizontal & Vertical tie spacing – as per Architect's requirement
 Permissible fresh concrete pressure – Whether SCC?
 Straight & curved walls can be formed with VARIO

 PERI VT20K Girder

 Dimensional Details
 Girder Height = 200 mm
 Flange Width = 80 mm
 Flange Thickness = 40 mm
 Web Thickness = 27 mm y y Robust Steel Caps

 Structural Details
 Permissible Q = 11.0 kN-m
 Permissible M = 5.0 kN
 Moment of Inertia (Iy) = 4290 cm4

 Light weight Girder (5.9 kg/m) with High Load carrying capacity. Concave Web End

 Flanges made of Nordic Coniferous wood. Particles are dense and

durable.
Video
 Highly compressed web board ensures high dimensional stability , &
Concave web end with Robust Steel Caps prevents girder against
damages.

 REC Delhi, Challenges to be overcome
 The typical pattern is 1200 x 2400 whereas in India standard plywood size is 1220 x 2440. These standard plywood
sheets need to be machine cut before VARIO shutter panel assembly.

 In few situations, the pattern is 1268 x 2400 which is higher than the standard plywood size. In these case plywood is to
be specially sourced (which is difficult).

 Height of basement-2 is 4.8m and basement-1 is 4.5m. Plywood needs to be changed when shutter moves from
basement 2 to 1 to match the patterns.

 Operations Details

 Rebar spacers
 Sufficient spacers to ensure required concrete cover
 Prevent deep imprints in the plywood surface
 Fibre cement spacers are preferred

35
 Operations Details

 Striking
 Time for striking
 As early as possible to get an uniform, bright grey
 Concrete strength 10 – 15 N/mm²
 Strike panels always two and two (both sides).
A gap between concrete and formwork
generates condensation
 Strike all panels of one wall / slab continuously

36

37
 Operations Details

 Curing
 Start curing immediately after striking
 Foils (curing membranes) should not touch the concrete surface
 Avoid draughts
 Architectural concrete: Expose concrete surface
to the open air if possible
 Never cure with water (visible CaCO3)
 Apply same type and time of curing for whole
structural member
 Never use curing sprays

38
 Operations Details

 Release agent
 Purpose: To prevent sticking of concrete on the formlining surface
 The type of release agent to be used is determined by
 the type of formlining (rough boards, phenolic resin, plastic formlining …)
 the concrete admixture
 For architectural concrete finish always
 concrete admixture
always have to be tested until a
 plywood
suitable release agent is found
 release agent
 Wrong release agent: might cause a lot of pores, sanding concrete surface,
different grey shady finish (extremely “cloudy”)

39
 Concrete

 Placing concrete
 Employ skilled concreting gang
 Drop height of concrete < 1.50 m
Better: Insert hose (Tremie pipes) into already poured concrete
 Concrete layers 0.30 – 0.50 m
 Don„t pour towards the formwork
 Regular supply with concrete, no breaks
 Check slump of each mix-truck

Dried out concrete splashes in

upper wall areas

 Vibrating concrete with internal vibrator

 Insert vibrator quickly
 Pull it slowly until top of vibrator reaches top of concrete
 Then pull out quickly

1m
Standard Components

Prop Head GFH Element GFP Formlining (Free

200x100 choice - By
Client)
 Salient Features

• GRIDFLEX is safely formed from the slab below with easy infills

• With a surface area of 2 m², the standard field requires only one prop

• Changing the forming direction – saves elements & props

• low individual component weights

GFP panel 200 x 100 cm only
• A minimum time and effort : weighs 10 kg/m²
• productivity of 0.4 manhrs/sqm
Erection Sequence
Easy Infilling – both direction

Filler Panel Longitudinal

GFL 150 x 100 – for
length compensation of
0.3m to 1.3m

Filler Panel Cross GFC

200 x 100 – for width
compensation upto 1m
 Early Striking

• For shortening striking times, the GFB 200 beam or a left-in

plywood strip can be installed. After concreting has taken place,
GFB 200 Beam / Plywood Strip continues to be supported.

• All other system components can be removed and immediately

used again for the next cycle.
