In the construction of bridge engineering, the quality of steel formwork installation directly determines whether the pouring work can be carried out smoothly, which plays a key role in the construction quality, progress, and cost of the project. How can we comprehensively improve the installation quality of steel formwork? Follow the steel formwork manufacturers below to take a look.
1、 Steel formwork design

1. In the design of steel formwork, scientific load calculation should be carried out. In addition to understanding the pressure generated by pouring, other possible loads such as concrete pouring method, stacking method, and the overall structure of the steel formwork should also be considered.
2. The construction and composition of steel formwork should be effective, and the support points and methods should be accurately calculated. Waterproof bolts, fastening screws, and other fasteners are widely distributed and effective. To address the inconvenience of setting up pull and fastener parts, it is necessary to scientifically improve the support structure and carry out supplementary positioning.

1. Plan the formwork for the tunnel edges under the bridge and other areas, and clarify the installation and positioning methods for the pre embedded formwork.
2. For the design of support structures, beams, and slabs, it is necessary to separately calculate the software for the beam and slab support systems and confirm the support methods based on the actual situation.
3. After the design scheme is completed, clarify the installation sequence of the templates to ensure the installation quality during the construction process.
4. In addition, the following challenges need to be considered: the interface method between the steel formwork and the wall; The assembly method between steel templates; Support methods at the junctions of beams, columns, walls, etc.

2、 Installation of steel formwork

Special attention should be paid to the assembly of steel formwork to prevent loose joints, insufficient vertical angles, and gaps between the formwork and prefabricated components. Water stop bolts and fasteners are important to avoid template expansion or other quality risks.

The installation of steel formwork must strictly follow the design drawings, ensuring the accuracy of the formwork size, dimensions, and areas during the installation process, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the steel formwork system software.

During the installation of steel formwork, it is necessary to set up sturdy temporary fixed equipment to ensure that there will be no collapse of the steel formwork during the installation process.
