The Formtraveller - Cross-Support for installation on small Pierheads When the pier head is too small to allow normal assembly of the Formtraveller, our Cross-support solves the problem
Trang 2FT - Formtraveller
Span length: 40 – 300+ mUsual cycle time: 2 x 1 segment / week
Trang 3The formtraveller system was invented in 1970 and today it is acclaimed for enhancing the cost-effectiveness of bridge projects world-wide We have continually improved the Formtraveller in collaboration with major contractors The system is lightweight, versatile and easy to assemble and operate Rolling forward on rails, the system can be reset quickly and easily
Where to use the Formtraveller
The Formtraveller is used for free cantilever construction of tensioned boxgirder and cable-stayed concrete bridges Engineered to international standards, the system provides an exceptionally rigid formwork, with a maximum deflection of less than 25 mm at full loading
post-THE FORMTRAVELLER CONCEPT
Trang 4The Standard Formtraveller is designed for a usual segment length of 5 m and load capacities (concrete and formwork) varying from 100 tons to 600 tons The steel weight depends on the cross-section of the bridge in
question, but will normally vary from about 25 tons to 110 tons
correspondingly The Standard Formtraveller may be adapted to suite almost any cross-section, and is easily adjustable during operation to
variations in segment length (up to 5 m), section height, web thickness, and deck width For segment lengths beyond 5 m and other conditions, the Formtraveller will be tailor-made
Trang 5Lightweight:
The use of rectangular hollow sections in the main structural components and recoverable high strength bars in all stays and ties reduces the total steel weight to a minimum
Flexible design:
The Formtraveller may be adapted to almost any cross-section and is easily adjustable during operation to variations in segment length, box height, web thickness, deck width and road alignment (gradient, curvature, super-

The external formwork is levelled and fixed
Bottom slab and webs reinforced
The internal formwork is pulled forward
Top slab is reinforced
Concreting of bottom slab and webs The top slab may be cast after a short intermission to allow setting of the concrete in the webs, or it may be cast the next day
After sufficient concrete curing, post-tensioning takes place
Formwork is loosened, and the Formtraveller launched forward to the next segment In most cases one cycle is carried out in one week There are examples
of 4-5 days cycles

Trang 23The Formtraveller - Cross-Support for
installation on small Pierheads
When the pier head is too small to allow normal assembly of the Formtraveller, our Cross-support solves the problem It makes it possible to start free cantilevering from pier heads as small as 3 m The procedure is illustrated through the these 4 phases:
3 m
Phase 1:
Assembly at pierhead as small as 3 m
