    Answers to Problem Set 1

    Question 1:
    a) Describe three causes of concrete formwork failure:
    1. Improper Stripping and Shore Removal
    2. Inadequate Bracing
    3. Vibration
    4. Unstable Soil Under Mudsills, Shoring Not Plumb
    5. Inadequate Control of Concrete Placement

    b) If temperature drops during construction operations, what should you do (in terms of the
    concrete placement) in order to prevent a buildup of lateral pressure overloading the forms.
    The rate of concrete placement has to slow down.

    c) Describe the following symbols: (5 Points)

    a) S2E: Lumber which has been surfaced on two edges


    b) S4S: Lumber which has been surfaced on all four sides

    Question 2:
    Draw the pressure diagram for a wall form 15 feet tall in which concrete will be placed at a
    rate R = 10 feet per hour when the temperature is 60oF. Draw the diagram if the wall were
    only 6 feet tall.

    If the placement rate (R) is from 7 to 10 feet per hour, the least
    of the following values apply; yet never less than 600 psf:
    43,400 2800 R
    a. P = 150 + +
    T T
    b. P = 150h
    c. P = 2000 psf

    43,400 2800 R 43400 2800(10 )


    P = 150 + + = 150 + + = 150 + 723.3 + 466.7 = 1340 psf
    T T 60 60

    ATCEII_ha1.doc
    ATCE II – Advanced Topics in Civil Engineering Answer to Problem Set 1 Page 2

    Or by referring to Table 5-4 for R = 10 ft/hr @ T = 60°F


    ⇒ P = 1340 psf
    1340 psf
    The hydrostatic load zone: ≅ 9 ft.
    150 pcf

    9 ft.

    15 ft.

    6 ft.

    1,340 psf 6 ft.

    Second part; Pressure diagram for a 6-ft. tall wall:

    P = 150h = 150(6 ft.) = 900 psf 900 psf

    Question 3:
    A contractor uses 6,000-lb form ties spaced at 36 inches on center along the wales. The wales
    are also spaced at 30 inches on center. The concrete temperature at the time of placement is
    70°F. What is the maximum allowable placement rate (R)?

    Tie capacity = 6000 lb


    Tie spacing = 36 in. = 3 ft.
    Wale spacing = 30 in. = 2.5 ft.

    Tie capacity Tie capacity


    = Tie spacing ⇒ Wale load =
    Wale load Tie spacing
    6000 lb
    Wale load = = 2000 lb/lf
    3 ft.
    2000 lb/lf
    Lateral Pressure = = 800 psf
    2.5 ft
    9000 R 9000 R 9000 R 650 × 70
    P = 150 + ⇒ 800 = 150 + ⇒ = 650 ⇒ R = ≅ 5 ft/hr
    T 70 70 9000

    Alternatively, you can use Table 5-4. For T =70°F and P = 800 psf ⇒ R ≈ 5 ft/hr

    Question 4:
    a) For form work materials with limited reuse, ACI 347 permits design using allowable
    stresses for temporary structures or for temporary loads on permanent structures. What is
    the adjustment factor that should be applied to the bending stress if the forms will be used
    only once (single-use form)?
    1.25
    b) Why do they commonly use double-member wale in formwork design?
    In order to avoid drilling of timbers, they commonly use double-member wale.

    c) What is the definition of slenderness ratio and what is the maximum slenderness ratio
    allowed for wood members?
    Slenderness ratio is the ratio of unsupported length (l) of a member to the width (d) of the
    face of the member under consideration. For wood members, l/d cannot exceed 50.
    d) What is the slenderness ratio of the column shown below (2 directions)? Is it acceptable?
    Unbraced Column
    a. Slenderness ratio parallel to narrow face:

    l 6.5 ft ×12 in/ft 78


    = = = 52.0
    d 1. 5 1. 5
    2×4

    b. Slenderness ratio parallel to wide face: 6'-6"

    l 6.5 ft ×12 in/ft 78


    = = = 22.29
    d 3.5 3. 5

    The controlling slenderness ratio would be 52 (over 50) and column would not be
    permitted without modification (larger member section or additional lateral bracing).
