Lintel formwork

If concrete is laid, for example, in narrow-space excavations for strip footings made in scattered soil, trench formwork is needed. The formwork requires experience, because fresh concrete exerts great pressure on the floor and the deck walls. If the formwork …

Reinforcement works

Reinforcement works

There are tensile stresses in the lower part of the window lintel, so rebars should be placed there.

In the bracket, for example in a balcony slab, tensile stresses occur in the upper part, so that is where the reinforcement should be placed.

Place, shape and method of laying steel …

Reinforcing mesh with single and double bars

Concrete has a very high compressive strength, i.e., that it can be subjected to high loads. However, it can only absorb tensile stresses to a very small extent. Concrete cracks, if these stresses …

Stripping

Stripping

If formwork of load-bearing elements is performed, they may only be removed then, when the concrete has hardened. The hardening period of the concrete is 30 days. For other concrete elements, the formwork planks can already be removed after 2-3 days, unless there is a risk of damage …
