One-Sided Wall Forming
Backbone™ Frame Option
Symons Backbone one-sided wall form is strong, flexible and allows concrete pressure up to 60 kN⁄sq m (1,250psf). The distance between the Support Frames is determined by the height of the wall and the concrete pressure. The form is plumbed using jacks at the base. Backbone has Support Frames that transfer the forces through the anchors embedded in the concrete at the foot of the formwork and through the rear pressure jack on the bracket.
Versiform® Waler Option
The one-sided wall forming components are designed to fit up with 5" or 8" Versiform® walers used with most of Symons forming systems. However, some of the systems require the use of a 2x sill (1½") to allow for a positive connection of walers to formwork.
If the waler assembly and the forms are lifted separately, a waler connection (positive connection) is not necessary, and the sill can be eliminated. However, a sill may be used if desired.
Symons Soldier Beam Option
Symons standard form systems, such as Steel‑Ply®, Alisply™, Rasto™,Versiform or Max‑A‑Form®, can be combined with Symons Soldiers to create tieless concrete forming schemes for one-sided wall forming. The ideal application for Symons Soldiers is creating a tieless forming scheme which offers substanial savings in time and labor costs.
A complete line of hardware and accessories, including One-Sided Brackets and Jack Brackets, simplifies plans for one-sided wall forming applications.
