Formwork Design Tables - EXAMPLEFlat Slab

• STRINGERS

  • With shores placed 4 ft on centers both ways, the stringers will be 4 ft apart and have a span of 4 ft between supports.
  • They will be designed as continuous beams with an equivalent uniform load equal to the distance between stringers times the uniform load on the formwork (psf):
    4 ft x 200 psf = 800 lb/lf
    
  • Use Table 7-5.1, since the stringers will be continuous over three or more spans. Enter the table at the left on the 800 lb/lf load line.
