Formwork Design Tables - EXAMPLEWall Forms

• STUDS

  • With the studs 12 in. apart, the load per lineal ft is
    12/12x(600) or 600 lb per ft.
    
  • Assuming that the studs are continuous over three or more spans, refer to Table7-5.1 for choice of span and member.
  • Entering table at left on the 600 lb/lf load line, the 3x4 stud has an allowable span of 37 in.
  • Support for studs (wale or ties) would be needed at about 3-ft intervals.
  • Placing top and bottom wales 6 in above bottom of form and 6 in. below top of form would permit use of four wales spaced 3 ft apart.
