4 INTRODUCTION The Strip anchor lifting system manufactured by TERWA is a high quality, safe, easy to handle, cost-effective system. It is used for transporting all types of concrete elements. Some of the important advantages of these systems are: - Safe, simple and fast connection and disconnection between lifting anchor links. - Anchors and links are designed for load capacities between t. - High quality alloy material for lifting anchors can be used in any environment. - Available in hot-dip galvanized version for corrosion protection. - Perfect lifting and transport solution for most applications and precast elements. - CE certified system. All Terwa lifting systems have the CE marking which guarantees conformance with the European regulations. - The design for Terwa Strip Anchors and technical instructions comply with the national German guideline VDI/BV-BS 6205:2012 Lifting inserts and lifting insert for precast concrete elements. Based on this guideline, the manufacturer must also ensure that the lifting systems have sufficient strength to prevent concrete failure. - The anchors are designed to resist at a minimum safety factor = 3. - Welding on the anchor is not permitted. Quality Terwa continuously controls the anchor production process from the perspective of strength, dimensional and material quality, and performs all of the required inspections for a superior quality system. All of the products are tracked from material acquisition to the final, ready to use product. Marking and traceability All anchors and lifting clutches have the CE marking and all dates necessary for traceability and load class. CE marking Manufacturer Production date class Anchor testing Terwa lifting anchors are designed to resist at a minimum safety factor of 3x load group CE MARKING CE marking means that a product is manufactured and inspected in accordance with a harmonized European standard (hen) or a European Technical Approval (ETA). ETA can be used as the basis for CE marking for cases in which there is no hen. However, ETA is voluntary, not required by EU directives or legislation. Manufacturers may use the CE marking to declare that their construction products meet harmonized European standards or have been granted ETA Approvals. These documents define properties the products must have to be granted the right to use the CE marking and describe how the manufacture of these products is supervised and tested. EU s Construction Products Regulation takes full effect on 1 July There are no harmonized EN standards for detailed building parts such as connections used in concrete constructions, excluding lifting items and devices, which are covered by the EU Machinery Directive. For steel constructions, CE marking will become mandatory as of 1 July 2014 as covered by the EU Construction Products Directive.

5 BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR THE ANCHOR SELECTION Anchors for large surface precast unit Anchors for thin-walled precast units When the load is near the narrow edge, reinforcement for angled pull is necessary. Design and use of the diagonal reinforcement must comply with EN Anchors are for placement in thin-walled elements In thin-walled units such as panels, the anchors may only be installed with the flat steel at right angles to the slab. CORRECT INSTALLATION INCORRECT INSTALLATION Minimum thickness of the elements S = c + l + e Where: S = minimum thickness of precast unit l = anchor length e = cover to anchor head c = concrete cover according to EN 1992 The length of the anchor depends on the minimum thickness of precast units and must be chosen correctly with respect to the standards.

6 Lifting symbols used in the documentation Axial pull in direction of anchor axis. Transversal pull perpendicular to the anchor surface. Transversal pull perpendicular to the anchor surface. Angled pull, transverse component perpendicular to the anchor surface. Angled pull, transverse component parallel to the anchor surface TECHNICAL INFORMATION CHOOSING THE TYPE OF ANCHOR INTRODUCTION Terwa has 3 types of lifting systems: 1D Threaded lifting system 2D Strip anchor lifting system 3D T slot anchor lifting system The method of choosing the anchor is identical for all of these types and depends on the lifting method and/or experience. The 1D Threaded lifting system is mainly used when the hoisting angles are limited, while the 2D Strip anchor lifting system and the 3D T slot anchor lifting system can be used for all hoisting angles with minor limitations for the 2D Strip anchor lifting system. The difference between the 2D Strip anchor lifting system and the 3D T slot anchor lifting system is lies principally in the experience one has in using one or the other system. Terwa also has software for making the anchor calculations. SAFETY RULES The lifting system consists of a threaded anchor embedded in concrete and a threaded lifting device. The threaded lifting loop is connected to the anchor only when required for lifting. Ensure that the concrete has reached MPa strength of at least 15 before beginning lifting. These lifting systems are not suitable for intensive re-use. In designing the lifting system, it is essential to use the following safety factors to combat breakage: for steel component c = 3 for concrete element c = 2.5 for steel wires c = 4 The maximum permitted load on the components quoted in the tables has been obtained by applying a safety factor on test data.

7 ANCHORS LIFTING CONDITIONS Using three anchors spaced the same distance apart from each other as in the figure, three load bearing anchors can be assumed. bearing anchors: n=3 Using four anchors lifted without a spreader beam, only two load bearing anchors can be assumed. bearing anchors: n=2 Perfect force distribution is assumed using a spreader beam. bearing anchors: n=4 Perfect static weight distribution can be obtained using a lifting beam and two pairs of anchors symmetrically placed. bearing anchors: n=4 The compensating lifting slings ensure equal force distribution. bearing anchors: n=4 When the element is lifted without a lifting table at a straight angle and contact with the ground is maintained. Additional shear reinforcement is required. When the element is lifted without a lifting table at an angle and contact with the ground is maintained. Additional shear reinforcement is required. ß 30 o ASYMMETRIC DISTRIBUTION OF THE LOAD For asymmetrical elements, calculate the loads based on the centre of gravity before installing the anchors. The load of each anchor depends on the embedded position of the anchor in the precast unit and on the transport mode: a) If the arrangement of the anchors is asymmetrical in relation to the centre of gravity, the individual anchors support different loads. For the load distribution in asymmetrically installed anchors when a spreader beam is used, the forces on each anchor is calculated using the following equation: Terwa reserves the right to make changes to the documentation at any time Page 7

8 F a = F tot b/(a + b) F b = F tot a/(a + b) Note: To avoid tilting the unit during transport, the load should be suspended from the lifting beam in such a way that its centre of gravity (Cg) is directly under the crane hook. b) For transporting without a lifting beam, the load on the anchor depends on the cable angle (ß). LOAD CAPACITY The load capacity of the anchor depends on multiple factors such as: The deadweight of the precast concrete element G Adhesion to the formwork The load direction, angle of pull. Number of load bearing anchors The edge distance and spacing of the anchors The strength of the concrete when operating, lifting or transporting The embedded depth of the anchor Dynamic forces The reinforcement arrangement WEIGHT OF PRECAST UNIT The total weight G of the precast reinforced concrete element is determined using a specific weight of: ρ = 25kN/m³. For precast elements made with a higher concentration of reinforcing elements, this must be taken into consideration in calculating the weight. ADHESION TO FORMWORK COEFFICIENT G = ρ V V = L l s Where: V - volume of precast unit in [m³] L length in [m] l width in [m] s thickness in [m] When a precast element is lifted from the formwork and adhesion force between element and formwork develops, this force must be taken into consideration for calculation of the anchor load and depends on the total area in contact with the formwork, the shape of the precast element and the material of the formwork. The value H a of adhesion to the formwork is calculated using the following equation: H a = q A [kn] where: q- the adhesion to formwork factor corresponding to the material of the formwork A - the area of contact between the formwork and the concrete unit when starting the lift Terwa reserves the right to make changes to the documentation at any time Page 8

9 Adhesion to the formwork oiled steel formwork q 1 kn/m 2 varnished timber formwork q 2 kn/m 2 oiled rough timber formwork q 3 kn/m 2 In some cases, such as π - panel or other specially shaped elements, an increased adhesion coefficient must be taken into consideration. Adhesion to the formwork Double T beam Ribbed elements Waffled panel where: G - dead weight of the element. H a = 2 G [kn] H a = 3 G [kn] H a = 4 G [kn] Adhesion to the formwork should be minimized before lifting the concrete element out of the formwork by removing as many parts of the formwork as possible. Before lifting from the table, the adhesion to the formwork must be reduced as much as possible by removing the formwork from the concrete element (tilting the formwork table, brief vibration for detachment, using wedges). DYNAMIC LOADS COEFFICIENT When movement of the precast units is performed using lifting gear, dynamic forces which depend on the lifting gear used develop. The lifting classes are described in DIN Lifting class Lifting load coefficient f at lifting speed vh Up to 90 m/min Over 90 m/min H vh 1.3 H vh 1.6 H vh 1.9 H vh 2.2 Lifting equipment Dynamic coefficient f Rail crane, swing-boom crane and fixed crane 1.3 *) Lifting and transporting on level terrain 2.5 Lifting and transporting on uneven terrain 4.0 *) lower values may be appropriate in precast plants if special arrangements are made. For cranes with precision lifting such as those in manufacturing plants, the lifting load coefficient is f = IN THE PRECAST YARD: - for lifting out of the formwork f = for tilting and transport f = 1.3 Terwa reserves the right to make changes to the documentation at any time Page 9

10 ON SITE: - for tilt/transport/install f = when transporting suspended precast elements over uneven terrain, the lifting load coefficient used is f > 2. For special transport and lifting cases, the dynamic coefficient is established based on the tests or on proven experience. LIFTING AT AN ANGLE CABLE ANGLE COEFFICIENT The load value applied on each anchor depends on the chain inclination, which is defined by the angle β between the normal direction and the lifting chain. The cable angle β is determined by the length of the suspension chain. We recommend that, if possible, β should be kept to β 30 o. The tensile force on the anchor will be increased by a cable angle coefficient z. F = F tot z/n where: z - cable angle coefficient n - number of load bearing anchors Cable angle Spread angle Cable angle factor β a z * * * preferred ß 30 Note: The anchors must be installed symmetrically around the centre of gravity when a spreader beam is not used for lifting.

11 LOAD DIRECTIONS Various scenarios can occur during transport and lifting such as tilt-up, rotation, hoisting and, of course, installation. The lifting anchors and clutches must have the capacity for all these cases and combinations of them. Therefore, the load direction is a very important factor for proper anchor selection. Axial load ß = 0 o to 10 o Diagonal load ß = 10 o to 45 o Note: ß 30 o is recommended Tilting g = 90 o Additional shear reinforcement steel must be used. When a tilting table is used, the anchors can be used without additional shear reinforcement steel, not to exceed the angle g < 15 o POSITIONING THE ANCHORS IN WALLS bearing anchors: n=2 bearing anchors: n=4 bearing anchors: n=4 Terwa reserves the right to make changes to the documentation at any time Page 11

12 Lifting the walls from horizontal to vertical position without tilt-up table. In this case, the anchors are loaded with half of the element weight since half of the element remains in contact with the casting table. DETERMINATION OF ANCHOR LOAD The load on each load bearing anchor is calculated using the following formula: - When de-mouldf = (F tot z)/n = [(G + H a ) f z]/n - When tiltingf = (F tot /2 f z)/n = [(G/2 + H a ) f z]/n During tilting, when the concrete element remains supported on the ground, only half of the forces have to be taken into account. For tilting, the load-bearing capacity of sockets and anchors is limited to 50% of the axial load. - When lifting F = (F tot f z)/n = (G f z)/n Terwa reserves the right to make changes to the documentation at any time Page 12

When TF1 and TF2 systems are assembled with the corresponding anchor, together they have the anchor minimum safety factor of c= 3. Before delivery, the working load of each system is tested three times, and individual testing certificates are attached. TF2s are different from TF1s due to the connection element (bracket) to the crane hook: the TF1 system s connection element is made with heavy-duty wire cable. The clutch head (shackle) in each load group matches the shape of the recess former RBF and incorporates a locker, which is inserted in the appropriate head anchor hole.

40 2D LIFTING CLUTCHES APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 1) De-mould Before lifting the precast concrete element, removing as many parts of the formwork as possible to minimize adhesion to the mould is recommended. In the de-mould process, the forces acting on the lift system are considerably greater than the actual weight of the precast element. In the opposite case, the precast concrete unit may flake. 2) Removing the recess former To remove the recess former, two rods are inserted in the holes in the recess former, after which they are levered out by scissoring action. Do not use a hammer to remove the recess former as that may destroy the former. 3) Attaching the lifting system To transport the concrete units, the appropriate lifting system for the load group is inserted above the anchor head. Only matching components will fit together. 4) Locking the lifting system The lifting system is locked using a simple handle on the locker. The lifting system is now free to move in any direction. From this moment, the precast concrete unit can be lifted out of the formwork and transported to the storage site. As a rule, the lifting angle should be 30, but it can be up to 45. Terwa reserves the right to make changes to the documentation at any time Page 40

41 5) Handling the system The clutch s 2D lifting bracket can be moved in any direction. Overloading the lifting anchor is not permitted (see the 2D lifting anchors conditions). 6) Releasing the lifting system After the lifting/transport of the precast element, the lifting system can be easily released by pushing back the locker after the system is off load. The lifting clutch can remain attached to the crane hook until further use. 7) Moving slabs from horizontal to vertical position The flat precast concrete units can be moved from horizontal to vertical position by using TILT UP anchor SA -TU or SA - TTU with additional reinforcement embedded in concrete. The direction of pull is at right angles to the cast-in anchor. Using a cross-beam for lifting to avoid angular and torsion forces is recommended. Terwa reserves the right to make changes to the documentation at any time Page 41

42 MISUSE OF THE LIFTING SYSTEM If the lifting direction is not heeded, the precast element or the lifting clutch can suffer major damage. Proper use can prevent damage and extend the service life of the lifting system. In this position the connection element may lock inside the shackle. A small angle of the lifting cable angle will determine the bracket to bend. The problem can be overcome by turning the connection element. In this position the connection element cannot lock. Angled pull using cable or chain with β > 60 is not allowed. Terwa reserves the right to make changes to the documentation at any time Page 42

43 THE LIFTING SYSTEM Just as with all lifting devices, trained personnel must inspect the TF1, TF2 lifting system at least twice a year. Any deformation of a locker indicates that the permitted load has been exceeded at least three times. A damaged locker can be replaced. No other repairs are permitted. Combining products from different companies is not recommended. The locker A lifting system with a worn or bent locker must be taken out of use.
