TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a movable formwork method for a viaduct slab for railways, roads and the like.

Since the construction of concrete viaducts is the construction of constructing structures of almost the same shape continuously, the construction method using the movable formwork is adopted in the formwork construction in order to save labor and efficiency of the work. It has started to be done.

There are two methods for moving the formwork: a crane-based suspension movement method and a traveling movement method.However, in the case of the suspension movement method, a large crane such as a gate crane has generally been used in the past. Not only will the scale be large, but a large dedicated site will be required to install and move the crane, and the cost will be enormous. Moreover, since it is extremely difficult to install a large crane in a mountainous area, it is impossible to use a mobile formwork.

In consideration of such a situation, the present inventor has endeavored to realize the formwork construction by the traveling movement method, and has made many proposals and practical applications so far. Then, as in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-25495, for example, the formwork to be installed between the bridge piers of the viaduct slab is formed by arranging small formwork devices formed in several widths in the width direction of the viaduct slab. , A construction method using a traveling movable formwork was completed, which is easy to move between piers in the transverse direction (horizontal movement) and easily from one pier after construction to the next pier (vertical movement).

In the invention of Japanese Patent Application No. 61-25495, a supporting girder is installed on the side of a row of piers in order to vertically move the formwork device, but in this case, if the height of the pier is high, there is a problem. However, if the height of the bridge pier is low, the erection position of the support girder will inevitably be low, and a sufficient space from the ground to the lower side of the support girder cannot be secured, making it difficult to carry in, carry out, and work with equipment. Will occur.

Also, since each formwork device is supported via wheels,
The wheels need to be able to withstand the heavy loads of cast concrete, making the equipment expensive. Further, since the formwork devices are independent of each other, the moving work has to be performed on each individual, and there are still problems to be improved.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a relatively small crane used for erection of each formwork device is also used for removing and moving the formwork device after construction. By doing so, the support girders for vertically moving the formwork device are omitted, and the wheels are used only when the formwork device is moved, thereby reducing the wheel cost and each formwork device. It is intended to provide a formwork construction method capable of more efficiently performing the work of moving the formwork device by connecting the two.

As explained above, according to the method of the present invention, the formwork used for the construction of the slab concrete between the piers is a small traveling formwork device, so it is easy to move or move by a crane and its work is safe. In addition to being efficient, a small-scale crane is sufficient, and the formwork device uses wheels only when moving, and supports the pedestal when placing concrete, so the wheels are Since it is sufficient to withstand the load when moving the frame device, simple,
It can be made inexpensive, and wheels and costs can be saved. In addition, each formwork device, after concrete construction,
Since they are connected together and moved on the rails and suspended from each end of the rails, the work movement of the formwork device can be done efficiently, and the number of wheels required for that movement is small. In addition, it has many excellent effects such as good wheel availability and cost savings.
