Definition of falsework from BS5975:2008
Falsework : temporary structure used to support a permanent structure while it is not self supporting.
The term is used particularly for the temporary support to concrete slabs.

Limit state or permissible stress?BS5975:2008 written in terms of permissible stress but large parts refer to British Standards which were withdrawn on 31 March 2010. BSI has an obligation to remove anything which contradicts Eurocodes so it is likely that the next revision of BS5975 will remove the references to permissible stress codes. It would be possible to design the timber secondaries to BS EN 1995 (Eurocode 5). However, PlySoldiers All have to be designed in accordance with permissible stress.Tie rods

FalseworkTypically the falsework design makes an allowance of 1.5kPa for controlled heaping of concrete.

Falsework – design of primary member
Slab 500 thick. Weight density of concrete = 25kN/m3
Design to EC5:Unfavourable permanent action, gG = 1.35
Unfavourable variable action, gQ = 1.5
Design pressure, Pd = weight of concrete + weight of falsework + allowance for live load.
= 0.5 x 25 x 1.35 + 0.5 x 1.35 + 1.5 x 1.5 = 19.8kPa
Say props on 1.5 x 1.5m grid. Therefore primary beams must span 1.5m and characteristic line load on primary, w = 19.8 x 1.25 (allowance for continuity of secondaries) x 1.5 = 37.1kN/m.
Select suitable timber:

Need a picture of the falsework
From Formwork a Guide to Good Practice, for a two span continuous beam:
Deflection, d = 0.00541 W L3 / EI Second moment of area, I = bd3 / 12 = 2 x 72 x 1473 / 12 = 38.1 x 106mm3
Therefore, d = 0.00541 (37.1) x 15003 / (7.4 x 103 x 38.1 x 106) = 2.4mm1500/2.4 = Span/625 – OK

Timber design to EC5
C24 timber: Characteristic bending strength, fm,k = 24 MPa (BS EN 338)
Various factors must be applied to this to get the design bending strength:
kh,m Depth factorkmod Modification factor for duration of load and moisture contentksys System strength factorkcrit Factor for lateral bucklinggM Partial factor for material properties
31
Timber design to EC5
Clause 3.2 (3)Depth factor, kh,m = lower of (150/h)0.2 and 1.3. Where h is the depth
(150/h)0.2 = (150/147)0.2 = 1.004
32
Timber design to EC5
Modification factor for duration of load and moisture content, kmod :
Therefore, medium term loading .The falsework will be erected outdoors and subject to rain. Therefore Service Class 3.
Use Table 3.1 to find kmod
33

34
Timber design to EC5
ksys System strength factor – Clause 6.6
The secondaries can be used to distribute the loads from one member to the adjacent members. They will be overloaded but this is an accidental situation and that overloading would be acceptable. Therefore use ksys = 1.1.
35
Timber design to EC5
kcrit is a factor to account for lateral buckling see Clause 6.3.3 (5)
The primaries in this falsework will be located in U-heads which will provide torsional restraint at the supports. There will be sufficient friction with the secondaries to prevent lateral displacement of the top of the timber. Therefore use kcrit = 1.0.
36
Timber design to EC5
gM is the familiar partial factor for material properties (Table 2.3)
So use gM= 1.3.
37
Timber design to EC5
Design bending strength, fm,d = kh,m x kmod x ksys x kcrit x fm,k / gM
= 1.004 x 0.65 x 1.1 x 1.0 x 24 / 1.3 = 13.3MPa
Therefore the bending resistance, Md = fm,d x Wy Where wy is the section modulus. wy = N x b x h2 / 6 = 2 x 72 x 1472 / 6 = 518 600mm3. Therefore Md = 13.3 x 518600 = 6.9kNm.
Applied moment, M = wl2/8 = 37.1 x 1.52/8 = 10.43kNm therefore fails
38
Timber design to EC5
Check shear: F = 0.375 w l = 0.375 x 37.1 x 1.5 = 20.9kN
Applied shear stress td = 3 x F / 2 x A = 3 x 20.9 x 103 / (2 x 2 x 72 x 147) = 1.48 MPa
C24 timber: Characteristic shear strength, fv,k = 2.5MPa (BS EN 338)
Various factors must be applied to this to get the design shear strength:kmod Modification factor for duration of load and moisture contentksys System strength factorgM Partial factor for material propertiesFactor of 1.5 allowed by BS 5975 for falsework
39
Timber design to EC5
Therefore, design shear strength,fm,d = kmod x ksys x fv,k x 1.5 / gM
= 0.65 x 1.1 x 2.5 x 1.5 / 1.3 = 2.06MPa > Applied, therefore ok
