Paving ® General and Technical Information n o ti ® a m r o f n al I Definitions nic h Safe Working Load — The maximum working load that should be applied to any forming product. ec T Ultimate Load — The load at which a product fails or will no longer support or carry a load. nd a Safety Factor — The theoretical reserve capability defined by dividing the ultimate load of the product al by its safe working load. This is expressed as a ratio, such as 2:1 or 2 to 1 (ultimate to er n safe working load). e G Concrete Form Pressure — The lateral pressure applied per square foot of form contact. Slab Formwork Dead Load — The weight of fresh concrete and reinforcement bars plus the weight of the formwork. Slab Formwork Live Load — Any additional loads imposed during the construction process, such as materials, workmen, equipment, including lateral forces. Slab Formwork Design Load — Dead load plus live load per square foot of contact. Formwork Impact Load — Loads caused by dumping concrete or the starting/stopping of construction related equipment. Safety Notes and Product Application Dayton Superior ensures that all products meet or exceed appropriate safety requirements. However, the performance of a product can be greatly affected by the manner in which it is used. It is imperative that the user properly installs and uses the products displayed in this publication. Production runs are constantly tested to assure a high standard of quality. Safe working loads listed in this publication were determined from independent testing and results of the Company quality assurance/quality control program. Safety factors may be dependent on the application of a particular product. Job site conditions can often affect the safety factor of a product. Concentrated loads, such as, unsymmetrical loading, uplift, impact and lateral forces are examples of job site conditions that may affect the safety factor. The user must adjust safety factors accordingly to accommodate these various conditions. Dayton Superior publishes the minimum safe working loads and the associated safety factors of its products and strongly advises that the minimum safety factors displayed in the table below not be compromised. When there are unusual job conditions such as mentioned above, the minimum safety factors must be increased by the user. Refer to the provisions of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI A 10.9), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Act, Part 1910 and the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Recommended Practice for Concrete Formwork (ACI 347-94) when considering product safety factors.

Dayton Superior Technical Services Dayton Superior maintains three strategically located technical departments that are well staffed with trained personnel to service inquiries concerning Dayton Superior products and/or methods. 06/12 1 ® General and Technical Information G e n e ® r a l a n d T e c Usage Affecting a Product’s Safe Working Load h n ic Forming accessories may be subjected to excessive wear, field modification/bending and straightening. Any product a l In so noted must be discarded. Do not try to straighten bent forming accessories; discard and replace them. Also fo discard any reusable device that has experienced excessive loading, 70% or more, of ultimate load. Such items may rm have become brittle. a tio Every user must establish a control program that replaces reusable forming products after a predetermined time period or n number of uses, regardless of product appearance. All reusable forming accessories shown in this publication are subject to wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration and other factors which may affect the prod- uct’s safe working load. Therefore, it is mandatory that the user inspect all reusable accessories to determine their condi- tion. The frequency of inspection is dependent on factors such as frequency of use, period of use, environment, etc., and is best determined by the user consistent with good construction practices. When in doubt about the proper use or installation of Dayton Superior forming accessories, contact Dayton Superior for clarification. Failure to do so may result in exposure of workers to safety hazards, resulting in possible injury and/or death. All safe working loads shown in this publication contain an approximate minimum safety factor. The safe working loads were established with the following factors in mind: 1. All safe working loads are based on the accessory being in new or in “as new” condition. The safe working load is con- sidered to be the maximum load that should be applied to a product. 2. The safe working load of Dayton Superior Snap Ties and related products can only be developed when used in conjunc- tion with A16 Omni Wedges, A81 Jahn A Brackets or A82 Jahn C Brackets. 3. Care is taken to ensure that internal vibration has not caused snap tie wedges to loosen, bounce around or fall off. Double Head Nails Wedge Loosens and Bounces Off Right Wrong 4. It is important that the snap tie head and wedge be positioned properly. The proper tie head position is at the midpoint, or higher, of the wedge slot. The tie head must not be positioned lower than the midpoint of the wedge. Snap Tie Head Right Wrong 2 06/12 ® General and Technical Information n o ti ® a m r o f n al I 5. When using snap ties, correct spacing between double wales is 5/8" to 3/4". nic h c e T Break Back d n a al r e n e G Correct Spacing is 5/8" to 3/4" Crushing of Spreader Washer Wales or Cone Embedded in Concrete Right Wrong Too much space allowed between the wales may cause crushing of the wales and/or the bending of the wedge allow- ing the form to bulge outward. This results in incorrect wall thickness and causes the tie spreader washers or cones to become embedded and trapped in the concrete. Trapped tie washers or cones will cause difficulties during the tie breakback operation. Midpoint of Metal Washer Plastic Cone Wedge Bands Will Shatter Right Wrong 6. The plastic tie cones and metal washers are designed to act as form spreaders only. Do not attempt to draw-up warped wales with the wedge. Do not over tighten the wedge in any manner. Over tightening will cause metal spreader washers to bend out of shape or will break plastic cones resulting in incorrect wall thickness. 7. Care must be taken to be sure that all form ties are installed and used properly. Tie Has Been Left Out Right Wrong Failure to install all of the required ties or their required mating hardware will cause excessive loads to be transferred to adjacent ties and may result in form failure. 06/12 3 ® General and Technical Information G e n e ® r a l a n d T e c Care must be taken to ensure that form ties are properly aligned. Misalignment may result in form failure due to increased h n loads placed on the form ties. Misalignment may also cause damage to the form tie during installation that may result in ic a reduced load capacities. l In f o r m a t io n Right Wrong 8. When using coil bolts, coil ties, coil hanger saddles, he-bolts, taper-ties, she-bolts and other coil thread items, maximum spacing between the double wales should be 1/2" more than the nominal diameter of the bolting device being used. Bolt Dia. + 1/2" Crushing Cone Embedded Crushing of Wales in Concrete of Wales Right Wrong When too much space is allowed between the wales, the wales may crush or the washers may bend. This causes the form to move outward to cause incorrect wall thickness and allowing the spreader cones to become trapped in the concrete. The higher than anticipated lateral form pressure can also deflect the washers resulting in incor- rect wall thickness. 4 06/12 ® General and Technical Information n o ti ® a m r o f n al I 9. Coil bolts, coil rod and other coil thread products must have proper coil penetration. A bolting device with proper coil nic penetration will extend past the coil a minimum of one diameter of the bolting device. For example, a properly pene- h c e trating 1/2" diameter coil bolt will extend past the coil a minimum of 1/2". Incorrect penetration of threaded items may T d result in form failure. n a Bolt Diameter Minimum Coil al r Penetration ne e See Chart for 1/2" 2" G Minimum Coil Penetration 3/4" 2-1/4" 1" 2-1/2" Right 1-1/4" 2-1/2" Bolt Diameter 1-1/2" 3" Insufficient Coil Penetration Form Failure Wrong Failure to obtain proper penetration will cause excessive wear on the first few threads of the bolt, but more impor- tantly it places the entire bolt load on a smaller portion of the coil welds. The increased loading can cause the coil welds to fail and result in form failure. 10. Do not beat on the end of loop ties to force them into position. This may damage the tie and result in form failure. 11. Use only correct length form ties. Incorrect length ties, when mixed with correct ones, will cause a transfer of lateral pressure to adjacent ties and may result in form failure. 12. Do not climb on form ties. 13. Do not use impact wrenches to tighten form-tying devices. 14. Do not over-vibrate the concrete. Excessive vibration will cause concrete at the bottom of the form to remain in a liquid state longer than expected. This will result in higher than anticipated lateral form pressure and may result in a form failure. Depth of vibration should be limited to within four (4) feet of the top of the fresh concrete. Liquid Concrete Liquid Concrete Right Wrong Full Height of the Form Concrete has Stiffened Sufficiently so Lateral Pressure is Reduced 06/12 5 ® General and Technical Information G e n e ® r a l a n d T e c 15. Do not exceed the recommended rate of placement and do not continue to place concrete while the concrete in the h n bottom of the form is still in a liquid state. A form failure may result. ic a l In 16. Do not use forming accessories with underrated f working parts. o r m 17. All forming accessories and related hardware must be of a t proper length, diameter and capacity. If a greater safety io n factor is necessary for any reason, the user must reduce the safe working load accordingly. Wrong 18. Extreme caution must be used when welding any Actual Rate forming system item. Welding may affect material of Placement properties resulting in lower product performance. It is necessary to have a good working knowledge of Recommended Rate of materials, heat treating and welding procedures before Placement welding any forming accessory. Since Dayton Superior cannot control field conditions or workmanship, Dayton Superior does not guarantee any product altered in any way after leaving the factory. Induced Tension Loads It is important to remember that tying at an angle causes an increase in the tension that is applied to the angled tie. The table lists various angles and the corresponding Pressure multiplication factor to use in calculating the tension load in an angled tie. Angle Angle Multiplication Factor Tension 15° 1.04 30° 1.16 45° 1.42 60° 2.00 Note: Tension = Pressure x Multiplication Factor Induced Shear Loads .71 x Tie Down Load = Shear Load It is important to remember that tie downs placed at an angle will produce shear loads as shown.
