EN 13377:2002 (E)4IntroductionThis European Standard is a product standard primarily for use in the field of falsework and formwork.Formwork beams should be made so that the properties specified in clause 5 are retained under site conditionssuch as exposure to water, water vapour and cement.Whilst this European Standard deals with the two most common types of prefabricated timber formwork beams in useit is not intended to prevent development of other types of formwork beams made of timber and wood basedmaterials.Research and development in the field of panel materials is continuous. Even if formwork beams are made withmaterials which do not conform with this European Standard, the principles of this European Standard should beconsidered in the design and assessment of such beams.To obtain test results and their statistical evaluation annexes A and B respectively can be used. The values forstrength and stiffness given in Tables 1 and 2 have been established from experience. To use these values, thepartial safety factor for actions, gF, should be taken into account as well as the partial safety factor for the material, gM,and modification factor, kmod, for timber, (see ENV 1995-1-1). Annex E gives some guidance. For more information ontimber see the Bibliography in annex F.1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies classification, requirements and assessment procedures for prefabricated timberformwork beams. It also gives information on production control requirements.Prefabricated timber formwork beams are intended for use in falsework and formwork and to be loaded in thedirection of the beam depth.They are of glued I-shaped construction consisting of two identical flange members of solid timber connected by asingle web of wood based material with beam depths of 160 mm, 200 mm and 240 mm, or connected by or a lattice ofsolid timber members with a beam depth of 240 mm beam depth.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
