4 General installation instructions for the tested VS Slim Box SGP System in open joints Application notes The PFEIFER VS Slim Box SGP is suitable for the connection of steel reinforced concrete precast walls of concrete quality C30/37 and better. The components of the system are the VS Slim Box and the corresponding grout. The system is only this effective if used in this combination. The VS -Slim Box SGP and the local selected and proven mortar can be used for connections according to Figures 1 2. The wall connection is durable from wall thicknesses of d = 10 cm (VS Slim Box) for influences from all three directions (3D) and for influences from mainly predominantly static loads (Fig. 3). The minimum joint geometry for loadbearing cases is shown in Fig. 2. With regard to this, please also observe the complementary instructions in the technical approval. Figure 1: The VS Slim Box System consists of the VS Slim Box and the corresponding specified grout Dimensioning The concrete precast parts of steel-reinforced concrete to be joined must be dimensioned by the responsible designer according to DIN EN in a minimum concrete quality of C30/37. Connections with the VS Slim Box System are considered as reinforced joint with design resistances for tensile and shear forces. Appropriate design resistances are listed in table 1. For dimensioning the connection, the evidence of compliance for each load direction must then be conducted individually. It must be noted that, in addition to the tensile force acting from outside, the tensile forces resulting from the acting shear forces must also be taken into account. If no external tensile force should be applied, a simplified analysis via an interaction diagram (Figure 4) in accordance with the approval can be used. The acting expansion forces then need to be validated. Crack widths due to constraint forces must be limited (DIN EN ).

In this situation the calculation is made with singel forces per box

5 Shear force transversal to the joint For shear forces transversal to the joint reinforced with the VS Slim the dimensioning values V, depending on the component thickness and the concrete strength class must be applied for the limit state of the carrying capa city in accordance with table 1 (VS Slim Box). v Ed, v, V,II ( KN/Box ) 1, V Ed, [kn/m]: Shear force acting transversally per meter of joint length V, [kn/m]: Design resistance of vertical transversal force per meter of the joint Expansion forces resulting from stresses vertical to the joint. These tensile forces can either be absorbed by the VS rope loops or by accordingly arranged additional reinforcement or other constructive measures and verified. The possibilities for providing evidence of the tensile forces are shown in the following. Combined parallel and vertical shear forces On simultaneous action of shear forces transversal and parallel to the joint, the interaction of the shear forces must be verified using the interaction correlation shown in the diagram (Fig. 4).

These can be tensile members (e.g. ring beams) or other constructive measures (fixed columns, frictional forces in full-size raised wall elements etc.). The tensile forces resulting from the individual load directions are listed in table 3.

6 Deflection of the wire rope In case of thin elements a deflection of the wire rope in the precast element is possible if the VS Slim Box System is used. Please find further information about minimum thickness and additional reinforcement in the approval for the VS Slim Box System. Reinforcement A reinforcement in the reinforced concrete precast part must be used for the VS Slim Box. If a corresponding reinforcement is already provided for other static reasons, this can be taken into account. Stirrup reinforcement A stirrup with a ø of 8 mm that forms an overlap with the wire rope loop must be provided per wire rope loop and must be anchored in the concrete precast part (Fig. 5/9). The necessary anchoring lengths and concrete covers must be fixed by the responsible designer acc. to the chosen concrete quality. As an alternative to these stirrups, it is also possible to mount a mesh cap Q257A. Surface reinforcement Additional reinforcement and surface reinforcement are not covered by the approval and must be defined by the relevant planners according to the static conditions. Figure 5 Longitudinalbar Stirrup B 500 A/B B 500 A/B - Ø 10 mm Ø 8 mm Constructive reinforcement It is recommended to guide the surface reinforcement into the side flanks to the right and left of the joint in order to protect it constructively from damage. In addition, two rebars diam. 10 mm at the edge are also recommended. Construction joint width Standard joint = 15 mm (Fig. 7) Maximum joint = 30 mm (Fig. 8) Minimum joint = 10 mm (Fig. 9) Tolerances The VS Slim Box connection works as an overlapping joint. For this, each of the loops must lie within certain tolerances in vertical and horizontal directions. In the vertical direction the loops must normally be mounted without offset in such a way that they make contact with one another and are superposed directly above one another (Fig. 11). This can be obtained with the same arrangement of the boxes from the base point of the construction units to be joined together with one another. A maximum vertical tolerance of 20 mm is allowed (Fig. 10). Figure 10 Figure 11 B 500 A/B Ø 12 mm max 20 B 500 A/B Ø 12 mm Producing the reinforced concrete precast parts Most of the wall elements are concreted on formwork tables. A trapezoidal ledge is fixed on the frontal vertical end of the wall elements (Fig. 12). The dimensions of the trapezoidal timbers are indicated in Figure 13. It is important to place the bearing concrete layer thickness in a central position. Figure 12 Figure Joint reinforcement Before filling the joint, steel reinforcement bars 12 mm must be inserted in the loop overlapping (Figs. 6 and 11) over the bar entire height of the joint. This reinforcement bar is statically absolutely essential as it is used to absorb tensile forces that occur in the joint Figure 6 Figure 7 10 Figure 8 Figure 9 max 30 B500A/B - Ø12 Standard 15 B500A/B - Ø12 85 min 10 B500A/B - Ø12 When mounting the VS Slim Box SGP into the formwork, the rope end must be threaded into the reinforcement as straight as possible. The rope end anchorings must be arranged at less than 90 to the joint (Fig. 11). The fixing of the loops on the mesh reinforcement prevents the loops from slipping. After that, the boxes are nailed in a simple way by beginning at the lower point of the construction unit or are glued with hot adhesive to the steel formwork. Always make sure that the boxes are arranged on the same height. Figure 14 Figure

7 After removing the formwork After stripping out the formwork, the flexible covering tape is simply removed by pulling it off (Fig. 14). After that, the inside of the VS Slim Box is free and the rope loops are visible. The rope loop can easily be tilted out with a tool to avoid injuries (Fig. 15). The wire rope loop must stick out vertically from the construction unit (Fig. 11) and, after tilting out, must spring back into this position when mounting the construction units. To do this, the loop is hooked into the integrated fixing of the steel sheet box. This is important for guaranteeing perfect loop overlapping. The wall construction units are now ready for final mounting on the construction site. Figure 14 Figure 15 Mounting the precast parts The joints, the VS Slim Box and the loops must be clean and free from soiling or separating agents. The wall construction units are set into the permissible connection type either on a mortar bed or also on underlaid plates with different heights. The construction units must be leveled in such a way that the position and the height correspond with each other. Normally, the joint of the construction units has an opening width of 15 mm and must lie within the maximum tolerance field of 10 to 30 mm (Fig. 7 to Fig. 9). In the vertical direction, a maximum spacing of 20 mm between the loops is acceptable. Note: The weakest point of a channel joint of wall construction units is always the joint casting. Only when the joints are faultless and fully cast and appropriate sealing of the jointing concrete is assured can the channel joints transmit the specified forces without any problem. Joint filling VS Slim Box Information and tips The characteristics of the grout in the joint play a significant role in producing a positive connection between concrete sections and the PFEIFER VS system elements. The specially definated mortar has proved its suitability in extensive trials in combination with the PFEIFER VS Slim Box in intensive tests. Mixing Grout Figure 16 Sponge rubber Fixed shuttering board Grout is supplied ready mixed and only needs to be mixed with water according to the mixing instructions. The material is then immediately ready for use. Casting the joint The grout is poured in continuously until the desired level (max m) is reached. The formwork must be able to absorb the stress that arises from this. Compacting is not necessary. Degassing by poking with the reinforced concrete steel bar or the fitting of a vibrator is, however, recommended. The grout bonds very quickly and allows rapid continuation of work. After the corresponding bonding times, the joint can be loaded to the permitted scope. Joint formwork In order to fill concrete panel joints flush with Grout, a shuttering board must be added. If the shuttering boards is correctly fixed and it is assured that the grout material cannot escape, the joint can be filled. After the material has hardened the formwork can be removed, cleaned and reused. Table 3: Casting volume for a standard joint (20 mm) Wall thickness [cm] Mortar Volume [L/m] approx. 2 kg dry material are required per 1 L liquid mortar The volume of grout is decisively influenced by the number of boxes. The maximum possible number of boxes per m is used here. 7
