A climbing formwork system for mass concrete construction comprises a movable panel separating a filling volume from an external environment, a track extending along a longitudinal direction partially inside said filling volume with a sliding channel closed with respect to the filling volume and a longitudinal slit facing the external environment. In addition, the climbing formwork system comprises a climbing element positioned and slidingly inserted in the sliding channel having a connection portion projecting through the slit to be connected with a portion of the movable panel. Fastening elements are operatively connected between the connection portion of the climbing element and the movable panel in order to maintain the latter fixed to the climbing element in a union condition. Also, a subject of this patent application is a method for building a mass concrete construction.

A climbing system for multi-level building construction includes (a) a plurality of vertical guides mountable to a building structure under construction; (b) a climbing unit coupled to the vertical guides for guided vertical translation of the climbing unit along an exterior of the building structure and; (c) one or more horizontal guides mounted to the climbing unit; and (d) an extendible platform supported by the horizontal guides for guided translation of the extendible platform along a horizontal axis extending generally perpendicular to the building structure. The extendible platform is translatable along the horizontal axis between a retracted position, in which the extendible platform is generally retracted into the climbing unit and clear of the building structure to permit interference-free vertical translation of the climbing unit, and an advanced position, in which the extendible platform projects horizontally from the climbing unit to the building structure for covering a gap therebetween.

A formwork and method for casting a concrete structure comprising: a first form element for delimiting a cavity to receive concrete, the first form element having an upper end and a lower end, a first tilt sensor for measuring an actual tilt of the first form element, the first tilt sensor further comprising a first sensor element for measuring the inclination of a lower region of the first longitudinal element and a second sensor element for measuring the inclination of an upper region of the first longitudinal element, and determining a deviation between the inclination of the lower region of the first longitudinal element and the upper region of the first longitudinal element.

The invention relates to an assembly consisting of a climbing rail and a climbing lift rail, which can be moved relative to the climbing rail and is guided by the climbing rail, for a rail-guided climbing system which can be used in particular as a climbing formwork, a climbing frame, a climbing protection wall, and/or a climbing working platform and which comprises climbing shoes that can be arranged on a building structure in a stationary manner and a lifting device that is fixed to the climbing rail at one end and to the climbing lift rail at the other end. The climbing rail is guided by the climbing shoes, wherein the climbing rail and the climbing lift rail can each be suspended on at least one of the climbing shoes in the direction opposite the climbing direction and can be unhooked from the at least one of the climbing shoes in the climbing direction and moved relative to the at least one of the climbing shoes. A fixing means is provided in order to fix the climbing rail and the climbing lift rail to each other in a reversibly releasable manner independently of a fixation to each other by means of the lifting device.
