A collapsible structural frame configured to provide a structure to which building material sheets are attached to form a surface. The frame includes a first frame portion that corresponds to a first portion of the surface and is configured to receive a first sheet of the building material and a second frame portion that corresponds to a second portion of the surface and is configured to receive a second sheet of the building material. A pivoting mechanism attaches the second frame portion to the first frame portion and has a pivoting axis. The pivoting mechanism permits the second frame portion to rotate about the pivoting axis relative to the first frame portion from an undeployed state to a deployed state. A locking mechanism may fix a relative position of the first frame portion and the second frame portion in the deployed state.

The invention relates to a climbing system (100, 110), in particular a self-climbing formwork system, comprising at least one climbing rail (10) which is guided on at least two climbing shoes (38), wherein the climbing shoes (38) can be fastened on and/or in a cured concreting section (50), and wherein the climbing shoes (30) are designed to guide the climbing rail (10) and/or to hold it at least with respect to a climbing direction (K), and an actuator (16). The invention is characterized in that the at least one climbing rail (10) has at least a first and a second rail part (12, 14), wherein the first and the second rail part (12, 14) are arranged one behind the other as viewed in the climbing direction (K), in that the first and the second rail part (12, 14) can each be guided and held by means of one of the climbing shoes (38), and in that the actuator (16) is designed to selectively increase or reduce the distance (d) between the first and the second rail part (12, 14) along the climbing direction. The invention further relates to a method for operating a climbing system (100, 110). The invention opens up a novel climbing principle for climbing systems (100, 110) and thus allows, inter alia, continuous climbing for example along a cured concreting section (50).

An adjustable support for use in shuttering formwork comprising a base member, a shuttering contact member, and a bracing member, wherein the base member, the shuttering contact member and the bracing member are engaged hingedly with one another. The bracing member is engaged securably with the shuttering contact member and the base member. The bracing member is adjustable, such that adjustment of the bracing member causes rotation of the shuttering contact member about the base member. Also disclosed is a method for supporting shuttering comprising providing one or more adjustable supports as described above, affixing the or each base member to a substantially static object, assembling the or each bracing member and the or each shuttering contact member as described above, adjusting the or each bracing member and attaching the or each shuttering to the or each shuttering contact member.

The invention relates to a side protector (3) for ceiling formwork (2). The ceiling formwork (2) comprises at least one formwork element (4) having a frame (5). The side protector (3) has a railing (11). Furthermore, the side protector (3) has a pivoting frame (10). The railing (11) is connected to the pivoting frame (10). The pivoting frame (10) can be connected indirectly or directly to the frame (5) from the bottom side of the ceiling formwork (2). The pivoting frame (10) can be pivoted from an installation position into an end position about an axis of rotation (A) in such a way that the ceiling formwork (2) is laterally secured by the railing (11). Furthermore, a ceiling formwork system (100), having at least one corresponding side protector (3) and ceiling formwork (2), is specified. In addition, a method for erecting such a side protector (3) is specified.

A holder for holding an object on a formwork panel, in particular for holding a railing component on a ceiling formwork panel, wherein the holder is configured for being affixed to the formwork panel, and the formwork panel has two longitudinal edge supports and two transverse edge supports,

wherein the holder has a first arm that is configured for engaging with a longitudinal edge support of the formwork panel and a second arm that extends transverse to the first arm, forms an angle space together with the first arm, and is configured for engaging with the second arm,

wherein the first arm has a first projection for being introduced into an opening of the longitudinal edge support on its side facing the angle space, and the second arm has a second projection for being introduced into an opening of the transverse edge support on its side facing the angle space.

The present invention relates to a self-pouring mold system which ensures uniformity of a material by laterally pouring concrete into a mold installed on a side of a wall structure and minimizing a fall head generated when the concrete is poured to prevent bleeding, thereby ensuring uniformity of a fire-proofing material and adjusting a required fire-proofing coating thickness, and a method of fire-proofing, repairing, and reinforcing using the same.

A perimeter protection system for protecting operators against lateral falling when installing formwork panels in a horizontal formwork system. According to one embodiment the perimeter protection system includes a perimeter protection structure configured for being fixed, in a working position, to the horizontal formwork system, and at least one auxiliary device configured for being fixed to the horizontal formwork system and for fixing the perimeter protection structure to the horizontal formwork system. The auxiliary device includes guiding means collaborating with a guide of the perimeter protection structure for positioning the perimeter protection structure in an initial assembly position. In the initial assembly position the structure is configured to be raised up to an intermediate position where it is permitted to swing until it is positioned in the working position.

A climbing formwork and a method for erection of a concrete structure by successively casting a plurality of casting segments, the climbing formwork comprising a first form element for delimiting a cavity to receive concrete for forming an uppermost casting segment, the first form element having upper and lower ends, a support structure to support the first form element, a tilt sensor for measuring a tilt of the first form element, a measuring unit for measuring a horizontal distance between the lower end of the outer surface of the first form element and the upper end of the outer surface of the previous casting segment, a processing unit communicating with the tilt sensor and the measuring unit for calculating a target tilt of the first form element, the processing unit further for determining a deviation between the actual tilt and the target tilt of the first form element.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a bracket of a formwork system. In one implementation, the bracket includes: a first member having a first plurality of openings; and a second member having a second plurality of openings. The first member and the second member are configured to: be perpendicular to each other; and provide lateral adjustment via the first plurality of openings and/or the second plurality of openings.

A method and fastening system for fastening to a concrete form panel various types of form hardware, including pins, form ties and various types of brackets and attachments for wall braces, scaffolds, and lanyards to a concrete form panel. The concrete form panel includes a track system that forms part of the fastening system. A base associated with the form hardware may be interconnected with the track system to allow selective positioning of the form hardware along a longitudinal length of the track system.
