FORMWORK of the MEZZANINE’S ceiling (Drawing C.50)

The formwork of the mezzanine’s ceiling includes the formwork of the ground floor and a char-acteristic elevation, in 1:50 scale.

Moreover, it includes the details of the two staircases in 1:20 scale.

When the formwork includes curved sections, the information required for their design must be provided. For instance, in the case of a circle’s arc, the center of the circle, its radius and two points upon its circumference can be indicated.

For an effortless and accurate implementation of the arcuate side of the slab’s formwork, when the circle’s radius is known, small wooden, plastic or steel models can be created in natural size (fids) with a length around e.g. 50 cm, which can be used as drivers for the support of the flexi-ble side mould.
