A3 Operating Status and Loads
Operating status: working
All work carried out with protection pro-
vided by the climbing protection panel
and on its working platforms: assembly
of the slab and column formwork, con-
creting and striking, inspection and
maintenance.
Platforms are freely accessible for the
required work to be carried out.
Max. wind speed km/h.
Operating status: climbing
Moving the climbing unit by crane or by
means of the hydraulic climbing device.
Non-planned loads on the platforms
are to be removed.
Crane-assisted climbing:
Personnel are not allowed on the
platforms during the climbing pro-
cedure.
Self-climbing:
Personnel required for climbing are
usually on the floor slab.
Max. wind speed 72 km/h.
The project-related assumed dynamic
wind pressure, which was taken as basis
for the design, has to be stated on the
execution plan.
Live loads
Working platform 150 kg/m²
Finishing platform 75 kg/m² (if available)
Non-operational
During longer work breaks, overnight, in
the case of storm warnings, with wind
speeds over 100 km/h.
Accessing the platform during storm
conditions is prohibited.
Materials and equipment are to be re-
moved from the platforms.
The assumed wind speed (dynamic
wind pressure) during storm condi-
tions is calculated based on the re-
spective application height, wind zone
and terrain category according to DIN
EN 1991-1-4 or (EC 1).
If given limits are exceeded, a visual
inspection of all bearing components
and a functional check of all safety
components are necessary for further
use.
If a storm warning has higher wind
speeds than originally stated, the site
management has to be informed. All
enclosure tarpaulins are to be re-
moved and the climbing protection
panel is to be supported by means of
additional struts.
On the instructions of authorised site
personnel, the climbing protection
panel can be climbed down to the pre-
vious storey. For this, additional in-
structions are required.
