How many days after a suspended slab (32mpa) is poured can the formwork be stripped safely?
Thanks Richard
Browse Forums Paving & Concreting Re: Formwork Stripping 2Aug 03, 2013 4:16 pm Support for a suspended slab shouldn't be removed until the strength has reached the minimum strength. Normally 28 days Unless the designer specifies a different time. The actual formwork can be remover earlier than the above time PROVIDED it is removed in small sections and props are installed in each section, before stripping the next section. These are general comments and should not be taken as advice for your particular situation. Check with the designer! The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !

In my case I bought structural LVLs and scraped them back and used them as joists. 1 3524 |
