Testing of I-beam formwork H20 in accordance with the requirements of EN13377:2002
We have successfully passed the test of H20 I-beam formwork according to the requirements
of EN13377:2002 standard and received the resultsfrom the Forest and Wood Products Research
and Development Institute (abbreviated as MeKA) in Latvia.
Results:
1. The calculated characteristic value of the ultimate shear strength Vk corresponds to the requirements for a formwork beam of class H20
EN13377:2002 requirement: Vk ≥ 23.9 kN
Our result Vk = 31.6 kN
2. The design value of the bending stiffness EI corresponds
to the requirements for a formwork beam of class H20.
EN13377:2002 requirement: EI ≥ 450 kNm2
Our result: EI = 460 kNm2
