Formwork Board Layout & Sizing for Concrete Beams
On beam soffits and side shutters, polymer boards resist heavy rebar placement without surface crushing, prevent cement grout leakage at intersections, and maintain true squareness.
Kiriş Taban Yükleri ve Taşıyıcı Destek Tablosu
Kiriş taban levhaları, döşemeden gelen taze beton yükünün yanı sıra yoğun boyuna donatı çubukları ve etriyelerin konsantre ağırlığını doğrudan taşır. Bu nedenle kiriş tabanında tali H20 kiriş veya ahşap yastık destekleri döşemeye kıyasla daha sık tutulmalıdır:
| Kiriş Kesit Derinliği | Taban Levha Kalınlığı | Taban Kiriş/Yastık Aralığı | Kanat Dikme Aralığı | Kanat Levha Kalınlığı | Sehim Güvenlik Limiti |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 – 50 cm (Standart Kat Kirişi) | 18 mm PP Petek | 25 cm | 35 – 40 cm | 15 mm veya 18 mm PP | ≤ L/500 (0.7 mm) |
| 60 – 70 cm (Geniş Açıklıklı Kiriş) | 18 mm PP Petek | 20 – 25 cm | 30 cm | 18 mm PP Petek | ≤ L/500 (0.9 mm) |
| 80 – 100 cm (Ağır Sanayi / Otopark) | 18 mm veya 21 mm PP | 20 cm | 25 cm | 18 mm PP Petek | ≤ L/500 (1.0 mm) |
| 120+ cm (Köprü & Viyadük Kirişi) | 21 mm PP / PVC Dolu | 15 – 20 cm | 20 cm | 18 mm / 21 mm PP | ≤ L/500 (1.1 mm) |
Beam bottom props must remain until concrete achieves design strength (14-28 days). However, side wing boards release cleanly from concrete and can be stripped after 24-48 hours for immediate use on the next floor, accelerating formwork turnaround by 40%.
Şantiye Kesim Planı ve Kenar Hücre İzolasyonu
Plastik kalıp levhalarını kiriş kanat ve taban ölçülerine göre keserken dikkat edilmesi gereken teknik detaylar:
1. Daire Testere ile Hassas Kesim
Standart 125 × 250 cm levhalar, ince dişli el daire testeresi veya tezgah testereyle ahşap gibi kolayca dilimlenir. Kesim hatlarında kılcal çatlak veya çapak oluşmaz.
2. Kesim Kenarına Bant / U Profil
PP petek levhalar kesildiğinde açığa çıkan hücrelere taze harç şerbeti dolmasını önlemek için açık kesit kenarına kalıp bandı çekilir veya PVC U profili geçirilerek levhanın hafifliği korunur.
3. Kiriş-Döşeme Düğüm Noktası
Kiriş kanadının döşeme tabakasıyla birleştiği üst kenarda ince köpük fitil kullanılarak çimento suyunun kaçması ve kiriş köşesinde peteklenme (segregasyon) riski tamamen engellenir.
Step-by-Step Beam Formwork Assembly
6 practical steps for deflection-free, precision beam formwork assembly:
Soffit Shoring Level
Level telescopic props and H20 support beams with laser levels. Set joist spacing to 20-25 cm.
Soffit Board Placement
Cut 18 mm PP boards to beam width, lay on soffit joists and nail only along edges with duplex nails.
Rebar Cage & Spacers
Crane the prefabricated beam cage onto heavy-duty plastic spacers to protect the polymer board surface.
Side Wing Installation
Fit beam side boards against the soffit board and lock securely with beam clamps or diagonal braces.
Joint Grout Tightness
Apply sealing strips at beam-column junctions to eliminate grout loss under heavy vibration.
Pouring & Early Side Stripping
Strip beam side boards 24-48 hours after casting for the next floor; leave bottom soffit props in place.
While side wings release easily, bottom soffit props and boards must remain locked until concrete reaches structural design strength and site engineers approve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Technical answers regarding joist spacing, cellular edge sealing, and early stripping in beam casting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding board selection, reuse cycles, technical parameters, and global delivery.
Yes, they can be easily cut using standard circular saws or hand woodworking tools. Using a blade with appropriate teeth ensures clean, burr-free edges.
Yes, standard framing nails, screws, and formwork clamp fixings can be applied. The polymer structure grips fasteners securely and does not splinter, split, or delaminate after repeated fastening.
Clean immediately after stripping using high-pressure water washing or plastic/wood scrapers. Avoid sharp metal scraping tools or heavy hammering to preserve the face texture.
They describe the internal cross-sectional geometry of the board. Honeycomb and cellular structures provide lightweight handling, while solid core boards offer different deflection and impact dynamics.
Thickness alone does not determine full suitability. Polymer structure, fresh concrete hydrostatic pressure, support joist spacing, and framing connections must be evaluated within a proper formwork design.
There is no single support spacing applicable to all polymer boards. It must be determined from the manufacturer load-deflection tables and permissible deflection limits (e.g. L/500) for the specific concrete slab thickness.

Slab Formwork
In wide-span slabs, flat slabs, hollow-block and waffle systems, SerPlywood polymer boards maximize jobsite efficiency with zero water absorption, lightweight ergonomics (10.24 kg/m²), and 40-60+ reusable pour cycles.
Column Formwork
Under fast pouring rates and heavy vibration, polymer boards ensure crisp column lines, sharp corner definition with PVC chamfers, and smooth plaster-free vertical surfaces.
Fair-Faced Concrete
When architectural designs require uniform texture without timber grain, discoloration, or patch marks, SerPlywood produces a marble-smooth fair-faced concrete finish that eliminates plastering entirely.
Precast Elements
In precast factories and casting yards, polymer boards endure continuous steam curing (+65°C) and high-frequency vibration tables, providing 3 to 4 times longer lifespan than film-faced plywood.
