Introduction
Product description
Doka dam formwork - the formwork
system for mass concrete structures
On mass concrete structures, it is not normally feasible to place form-ties through to the opposing
formwork. For this reason, the pressure of the fresh
concrete has to be transferred into the previous
concrete block. Doka dam formwork ensures that
the forces which occur here are transferred safely
and reliably.
Areas of use:
Dams and barrages
Run-of-river power stations
Navigation locks
The formwork and dam scaffold are lifted to the
next casting section in one single crane cycle.
The dam scaffold can be fitted with various different formwork systems, e.g.:
Large-area formwork Top50
Framed formwork
Steel formwork
The Doka dam formwork system is extremely flexible. For this reason, detailed planning
and static calculations are required for every
single project.
2 systems
For optimum adaptation to every construction
project, Doka offers two different dam formwork
systems, both of which always use the same method of working:
Dam formwork D15

for anchor tensile forces of up to 150 kN
Dam formwork D15 K
- for block heights of up to 3.0 m
- formwork is tiltable
Dam formwork D15/3
- optimised for a block height of 3.0 m
- formwork is tiltable, and can also be modified
to make it retractable
Dam formwork D22

- for block heights of between 3.0 and 4.0 m
for anchor tensile forces of up to 220 kN
Dam formwork D22 K
- formwork is tiltable
Dam formwork D22 F
- formwork is retractable
999706002 - 11/2004
Dam formwork D15
Dam formwork D15 K and D15/3

Doka dam formwork D15 is used for forming block
heights of up to 3 m. The Dam scaffold D15 can sustain anchor tensile forces of up to 150 kN.
The formwork can be tilted backwards to leave
enough space for preparing the suspension points.
Doka dam formwork D15 is easy to adapt to sloping
wall surfaces and to kinks in the walls.
2 versions
Dam formwork D15 K
When tilted backwards, the formwork leaves plenty
of space for preparing the suspension points. The
platforms are a generous 1.7 m wide, making it easy
to operate the spindle strut.
Dam formwork D15/3

The Dam formwork D15/3 is the optimum dam scaffold for block heights of 3.0 m. Its 2.2 m wide platforms allow great freedom of movement.
The Dam formwork D15/3 can easily be
modified to equip it with a travelling unit.
This makes the formwork retractable as
well.

Cantilever bracket D15 K (A)

The cantilever bracket constitutes the working
platform and the climbing scaffold on which the
formwork is stood. The pressure of the fresh concrete is transferred by way of the suspension
point and the supporting profile.
Cantilever bracket D15/3 (B)
This cantilever bracket is designed as standard to
permit the formwork to be tilted backwards. Retrofitting the Retraction set D15 (K) makes it possible for the formwork to be travelled, as well as
just tilted.
Vertical waling D15 3.00 m U120 (C)
The vertical waling is for holding and adjusting
the formwork element, and for transferring the
concrete forces into the cantilever bracket.
Spindle strut D15 3.00 m (D)
This is bolted in between the cantilever bracket
and the vertical waling. It has the job of transferring the concrete forces, and is also used for
plumbing and striking the formwork elements.
Swivel bearing plate D15 or D15 S (E)
The swivel bearing plate makes it possible to
connect the vertical waling firmly and tightly to
the cantilever bracket. Thanks to its articulated
joint, the vertical waling can be inclined forward
and back without difficulty.
- D15: designed to be used with timber-beam
formwork and framed formwork
- D15 S: designed to be used with framed formwork and steel formwork
Suspended platform D15 / D22 (G)
The suspended platform is bolted onto the vertical profile of the cantilever brackets.
Screw-on access bracket MF75 (H)
The Screw-on access bracket MF75 is a universal
working bracket.
- can be used as a pouring platform (fastened to
the vertical waling)

Dam formwork D22
Dam formwork D22 K and F

Doka dam formwork D22 is used for forming block
heights of up to 4.0 m. The high load-bearing capacity of the dam scaffold enables this formwork to
sustain anchor tensile forces of up to 220 kN.
2 versions
Dam formwork D22 K (tiltable)
When tilted backwards, the formwork leaves plenty
of space for preparing the suspension points. The
platforms are a generous 1.9 m wide, making it easy
to operate the spindle strut. There is also enough
space for operators to pass behind the spindle strut.
Dam formwork D22 F (retractable)

The formwork can be retracted. This makes it easier
to clean and maintain the form-ply, to attach fittings
and to place reinforcements. The generous platform width of 2.40 m permits very great freedom of
movement.

Other uses
Striking, lifting and erecting the formwork

The formwork elements, dam scaffolds, pouring
platforms and suspended platforms are firmly interconnected. They are lifted and repositioned as a
complete unit, in one crane cycle. This reduces the
repositioning time, and thus the crane times.
Striking
Remove the Cone screw B 7cm from the positioning-point.
Release the pressure wedges.
Detach the formwork element from the concrete
by turning the spindle struts, and tilt it back (or
retract it).
Tighten the pressure wedges
Screw a Cone screw B 7cm into the Universal
climbing cone. The next suspension point is now
ready for use.
Remove the Universal climbing cone (working
from the suspended platform).

How to lift
Warning!
"Passenger transportation" is forbidden!
Remove any loose parts from the scaffold
and formwork before lifting.
Attach a crane-cable hook to the suspension bolt
of the vertical waling.
Release the connection bolt on the cantilever
bracket.
Lift the dam scaffold, together with the formwork
element, and suspend it from the prepared suspension points.
Use connection bolts to secure the cantilever
bracket against accidental lift-out.
Detach the crane-cable hook.

Other uses
Lifting past overhanging surfaces
Formwork erection
The (project-specific) overhanging lifting device

makes it possible to lift and reposition dam formwork safely where overhanging concrete surfaces
are being formed.
Variable hoisting points on the overhanging lifting
device enable the entire unit to be held at the required angle during lifting.
Release the pressure wedges.

Line-and-level the formwork element with the
spindle struts and adjusting spindles.
Attach pressure wedges to press the formwork
element against the previous casting section.

Other uses
Starter-block formwork
The system components of the dam formwork can
be used right from the first casting section. However, the starter-block unit (A) is used here instead of
the cantilever bracket.
Instead of the starter-block unit it is also possible to use Doka supporting construction
frames
Anchoring in the base slab
As a basic rule: The anchoring arrangements for the starter-block formwork are always dimensioned on a project-specific basis.
The loads from the diagonal anchors are transferred via anchor walings (E) .
The tie-rod 15.0mm and the super-plate 15.0 (F)
together secure the anchor waling so that it cannot tilt or slip out of position.
For each starter-block unit, two anchors are each
placed 15 cm either side of the vertical axis of the
starter-block unit.
Exception: If the load-bearing capacity is sufficient for 1 anchor per starter-block unit, the anchors on each unit must be placed symmetrically.

B Sealing sleeve K (expendable anchoring component)
C Cone screw B 7cm
D Pigtail anchor (expendable anchoring component)
E Depth mark
F Stop-anchor
Both the positioning points and the suspension

points are prepared using one single type of cone,
the Universal climbing cone (A) .
The Cone screw B 7cm (C) also fulfils 2 functions:
On the positioning point - for fastening the Universal climbing cone.
On the suspension point - as a safe means of suspending the cantilever bracket.
Preferably, pigtail anchors (D) are used, or - depending on the characteristics of the structure stop-anchors (F) .
The necessary length of the pigtail anchors is determined in trials conducted on the site (concrete
strength, type of concrete, etc.).
Warning!
- against not screwing the pigtail anchor or
stop anchor far enough into the Universal
climbing cone.
This may subsequently lead to reduced
load-bearing capacity and to the failure of
the suspension point - resulting in injury
and damage.
Always screw in components until they
fully engage (i.e. up to the depth mark).
Caution!
For the positioning point and suspension
point, ONLY use Cone screws B 7 cm
(head of screw is red, to indicate its high
load-bearing capacity)!
The axis of the cantilever bracket and the
axis of the Universal climbing cone must
align - maximum angle-deviation 2.
Never weld or heat tie-rods - risk of fracture!
Every time the Universal climbing cones
are used, fit them with new sealing
sleeves first.
Tools needed:
Reversible ratchet 3/4"

Drill a diam. 31 mm hole in the form-ply (position
as shown in the project plan).
Push the Cone screw B 7cm (C) through the formply, screw it into the Universal climbing cone (A)
and tighten it firmly.
Screw the Pigtail anchor (D) into the Universal
climbing cone (A) , until it engages (up to the
depth mark (E) ).
The axis of the cantilever bracket and the
axis of the Universal climbing cone must
align - maximum angle-deviation 2.
The depth mark on the pigtail anchor or
stop-anchor must be right up against the
Universal climbing cone = must be
screwed in to the full depth.
The pigtail anchor must be facing downwards
Before pouring
Check all positioning points and suspension
points once again.

Important note:
The cone-fixing method that involves drilling through the form-ply is the one that is
most suitable for the working conditions encountered on dam construction sites.
If the large size of the drilled hole makes it
impracticable to use the Cone screw B 7cm
for the positioning-point, (e.g. if the suspension points are often not in the same position as in the previous casting section), then
the Positioning clamp M30 must be used
(hole diam. = 9 mm).
The cone should only be fixed with the Positioning disc M30 in exceptional situations!
However, in this case additional precautions
must be taken to ensure that it is not dislodged from its exact installation location
during pouring!
999706002 - 11/2004
Suspending and securing the cantilever bracket

Suspend the cantilever bracket (H) from the Cone
screw B 7cm (C) of the finished suspension point.
Push the connection bolt (I) into the cantilever
bracket, at 90 to the platform decking, until it engages.
Turn the connection bolt (I) down onto the platform deck.
The cantilever bracket is now secured against accidental lift-out.
The connection bolt must be in the horizontal!

Adjusting the formwork

The formwork elements can be adjusted in the vertical and moved and/or tilted to either side, enabling them to be adjusted in relation both to one another and to the structure.
Push the formwork to either side.
To make it possible to compensate for any

deformations during pouring, the formwork
should be adjusted with a forward inclination.
The extent of this forward inclination (see
project plan) will depend on the following
factors:
Block height
Pressure of the fresh concrete
Influence width per parallel frame section

Other uses
Press the formwork to the concrete

For clean, exact concrete surfaces and transitions,
the formwork element must be pressed very tightly
against the previous section.
This can be done quickly and easily with the pressure wedge of the swivel bearing plate.
After adjusting the formwork elements, tighten
the pressure wedges (A) .
This presses the formwork element up against
the previously cast section.
9706-215-02
Ending the adjusting operation

Tightly clamp the Waling-to-bracket holders D22
again.

Other uses
Moving by crane
Important note:
Observe all regulations applying to the
operation of cranes where higher wind
speeds are experienced.
Only fasten the crane-cable hook to the
suspension bolt (A) of the vertical waling.
The crane-hoisting lugs on the formwork
elements must not be used for lifting the
dam formwork unit.
Angle of inclination : max. 30
Brace the vertical waling sufficiently
against oblique pull (B) .
Minimum tightening torque of the couplers (C) as per applicable regulations.
Bring the travelling unit as close to the
centre-of-gravity position as possible, and
secure the Swivel bearing plate with the
Swivel bolts.
If lifting past sloping walls, fasten an overhanging lifting device to the vertical waling.
Where the formwork is inclined forward,
check whether a tension guy-bracing
chain is needed.
When a single dam formwork unit is lifted, two open ends are left in the formwork
system. These must be secured by
mounting side protection (e.g. Handrail
clamp S).
Warning!
"Passenger transportation" is forbidden!
Remove any loose parts from the scaffold
and formwork before lifting.
Length of chain = at least the space between
the slinging points
This automatically leads to the required angle of inclination.

Other uses
Structural design
The cantilever centres are computed from various
different influences:
Pressure of the fresh concrete
Block height
Angle of inclination of formwork
Wind loads
Allow for the following when performing the

structural design calculations:
The formwork used must be dimensioned as required by the cantilever centres (e.g. the correct
steel walings must be selected).
Max. live load of the working platform: 1.5 kN/m2
(incl. loads occurring in the course of pouring)
This is why dam formwork must always be

dimensioned on a project-specific basis.
When determining the pressure of the fresh concrete, allow for the following:
Additional loads from concrete spreading devices (e.g. caterpillar concrete spreader).
Slow setting of the concrete (fly-ash))
Low concrete temperature (cooled concrete)
Low proportion of cement in the concrete
Determining the cantilever centres

for perpendicular formwork*

Pre-assembly in the factory or at the depot helps
to cut costs.
Operations scheduling ensures efficient assembly.
High precision ensured by use of assembly
bench.
No space problems.
No need for on-site improvisation.
Reduces assembly times on the site.
Cantilever brackets are quickly ready for use.
Low transport volume.
999706002 - 11/2004
Forming operations account for the lions share of

labour costs on concrete construction sites. Modern
formwork equipment helps to rationalise operations. By improving the overall construction sequence at the same time, however, further very
worthwhile gains in efficiency can be achieved.
This requires not only better equipment, but also
greater skill in making optimum use of this equipment. Doka can help here, with its specialist training programme - to help each and every member of
the team do his bit towards boosting efficiency and
lowering costs.
Doka customer training events also look at the
formwork equipment and handling methods that
are needed in order to achieve optimum safety knowledge and awareness which can only enhance
workplace safety on the site.
Youll find the Doka training programme well
worth looking into.
Your nearest Doka branch will be pleased to tell
you more about Doka's various training offerings.
