1. DESIGN CRITERIA

1.1 STRUCTURAL DESIGN MODEL

The Falsework support system for the R-1 project is analyzed and designed

using three-dimensional frame analysis. Tha leg bases are specified to be pinned.

The analysis of the whole structure is done using STAAD PRO V8i software

by Research Engineers Inc.

CASE 1

1.2 CODES AND STANDARDS

The falsework support system for pier coping was designed in accordance
with the requirements contained in the following Codes and Standards.

a. National Structural Code of the Philippines, 2015 Volume 1 (7th Edition)

b. AISC Manual of Steel Construction, Allowable Stress Design, 9th Edition
c. DPWH Department Order No. 50 Series of 2006

1.3 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

a. Unit of Measurement

S.I. (System International) was applied for all units of measurement and design
calculations. Related engineering documents and product credentials were
written in English. Necessary conversions were done as required.
 Structural Calculations

b. Materials
Structural materials used shall be of qualities specified in the applicable standards
as follows:
1. All Structural Steel Members
ASTM A36 Structural Steel : 248 Mpa Yield Strength
2. Jack Supports
Jack Base : 150 kN Max. Allowable Load
c. Design Procedure
The design of steel members was done using the provisions and requirements
of the allowable strength method as required by AISC Allowable Strength Design
(AISC ASD 9th Edition).

d. Maximum Allowable Deflection

Maximum DL + LL Deflection : Span / 240

1.4 LOAD CASES

a. Dead Load (DL)

The following weights were considered in calculating the dead loads of the
structure:

Reinforced Concrete = 25 kN/m3

3
Structural Steel = 77 kN/m
Plywood = 0.1 kPa
Sideforms = 0.56 kN/m
Post and Railings = 0.1 kN/m
Spreader beams (timber/aluma..) = 0.6 kN/m

b. Live Load (LL)

The following live loads were considered for the whole structure:
Over total area supported = 1 kPa
Over working / access area = 4.8 kPa

c. Horizontal Load (2%DL and WL)

As per DPWH D.O. No. 50 Series 2006 Section 414.3.1.2.2, the horizontal load
is the sum of any actual loads due to equipment, construction sequence or
other causes, plus an allowance for wind. In no case however, may the
horizontal design load be less than two percent of the total supported
dead load at the location under consideration.
For the wind load consideration, calculation of the design wind load was based
on the step by step procedure specified in the DPWH D.O No. 50 series of 2006

1.5 LOAD COMBINATIONS

As per National Structural Code of the Philippines, 2015, Volume 1 (7th Edition)
the structure and all portions thereof shall resist the most critical effects
resulting from the following load combinations:
a. DL + LL d. DL + WLX
b. DL + 2%DLX e. DL + WLZ
c. DL + 2%DLZ
2. LOAD ANALYSIS
2.1 DEAD LOAD
Weight of RC Coping Beam:
Wet Concrete = 25 kN/m3
Miscelaneous Loads:
Plywood = 0.1 kPa
Spreader beams (timber/aluma..) = 0.36 kPa
Post and Railings = 0.1 kN/m
= 0.15 each outer support
Sideforms = 0.56 kPa
STAAD Load
Coping Depth = 0.912 m
Coping Width = 2.2 m
Coping Length = 7.25 m
Sideform Height = 1 m
Table form width = 4.1 m
Table form Length = 10 m
Spacing of support @ x = 1 m
Spacing of support @ z = 1 m
Concrete Load = 6.42 kN/m2 = 25*0.912*2.2*7.25/(4.1*10)

Plywood + Wood Spr. = 0.46 kN = (0.1+0.36)*1*1

Post & Railings = 0.15 kN = 0.1*1
Sideforms = 0.66 kN = 0.56*1.0*2*(2.2+7.25)/(2.2*7.25)
Total Dead Load = 12.83 kN
Note: Derived deadloads are applied to point of support

2.2 LIVE LOAD

Construction Live Load :
Working Area = 4.8 kPa
STAAD Load
Tributary Area = 1.8 m2 = 1.2*1.5
Total LL at support = 8.64 kPa = 4.8*1.8
Note: Derived liveloads are applied to point of support

2.3 WIND LOAD (DPWH D.O. No. 50 Series 2006)

Wind Pressure Value (0-9m) = 960 Pa (Adjacent to Traffic)
Wind Pressure Value (9-15m) = 1200 Pa (Adjacent to Traffic)
Wind Pressure Value (15-30m) = 1450 Pa (Adjacent to Traffic)
Wind Pressure Value (Over 30m) = 1675 Pa (Adjacent to Traffic)
Shape Factor = 2.2 (For heavy duty shoring)
Dia. of Support Column(H Frame) = 0.04 m (Projected width for wind analysis)
Height = 6 m (Height of support column)

2.4 MINIMUM HORIZONTAL LOAD EQUIVALENT TO 2% OF DEAD LOAD

Total Dead Load at top of support columns (based on STAAD model 12.83 kN
2% of Total Dead Load 0.26 kN
(2% of Total Dead Load shall be distributed to all top nodes of support columns)

Note: Minimum horizontal design load equivalent to two percent of the total
supported dead load shall govern where falsework height is less than 9m
