- The second waler joint is a joint only between
walers. The bracing of the secondary axis is made at
another point. It enables either a butt joint fastened
with 6 bolts each or a joint with a 125 mm gap
between walers fastened with 4 bolts. In the latter
case, walers can be crossed.
4.2.4.
Secondary axis structure. Waler joints at
different level
This refers to joints between walers perpendicular
between the main axis and the secondary axis. There
are various possible solutions depending on the
specific application.
The walers can be independent (formwork) or part of
other structures to be installed in this direction.
These joints can only work at compression, never at
tension. Therefore the joints must be assembled to
support the secondary walers on the main ones and
never the other way around.
Waler on waler joint
The Waler-Waler 90º Joint MK is used to join walers
of the secondary axis on top of the walers of the
main axis.
The joint can be fixed at any point of the waler,
aligned with a hole or slot every 62.5 mm, in both
directions.
Waler on node joint
In accordance with the previous joint, the Node-
Waler 90º Joint MK is used to join the secondary axis
waler on top of a node of the main axis. This joint
can only be connected to the centre of the node.
