General installation instructions for the VS® Slim Box and VS® Plus Box systemsUse

The PFEIFER VS® Slim/Plus Box systems are provided for the con-nection of reinforced concrete pre-cast wall elements (Figures 2 to 5) made of concrete of grade C30/37 or better.The systems always consist of the VS® Slim/Plus Boxes and of a suitable casting mor tar such as VS® PAGEL® GROUT.

Installation and usage

Dimensioning

Notice: As an alternative to the stirrups, a suitable

mesh cap can also be installed.

Notice: The verification of the VS® Slim/Plus Boxes is to be carried out in accordance with whatever national regulations may exist in

respect of the stresses from the three directions (tensile, shear forces parallel and perpendicular to the joint). The current overview will be found on page 33 and at www.pfeifer-bautechnik.de.

Reinforcement according to Figures 6 and 7 is recommended in the rein-forced concrete precast elements according to German regulations for the VS® Slim/Plus Box systems. Other national regulations have local priority over this recommendation, and if they exist it is essential that they are observed.

Installation and usage

Fig. 8 Fig. 9 Fig. 10

Standard joint = 20 mm (Figure 8), maximum joint = 40 mm (Figure 9), minimum joint = 10 mm (Figure 10)Element joint

The VS® Slim/Plus Box joint functions as an overlapping joint. For that reason, the loops must each lie above one another within certain vertical and horizon-tal tolerances.Vertically, the loops are usually to be fitted without any offset, so that they touch one another and lie directly on top of one another (Figure 12). This happens when the boxes are arranged in the same way from the base of the elements to be joined. A maximum vertical position error of 20 mm is permit-ted (Figure 11).

Fig. 12Fig. 11

Installation tolerances

Caution: The most sensitive element of the connection of the joint between wall elements is always the casting mortar. Only when the

joints have been properly and completely cast, and the joint concrete has been suitably compacted, can the joints transmit the applied forces properly.

Fig. 16

The wall elements are usually concreted on formwork tables. A trapezoidal strip is fastened to the frontal vertical end of the wall elements, according to Figure 13. The dimensions of the trapezoidal wood can be obtained from Figure 14. Care should be taken to see that the position is central within the load-bearing concrete layer. When inserting the VS® Slim/Plus Box into the formwork, it is necessary to ensure that the wire rope end is threaded as straight as possible between the reinforcement.The anchorages for the wire rope ends are to be arranged at 90° to the joint (Figures 13/17). Fixing the loops to the reinforcing mat with wire prevents the loops from slipping out of place. Starting from the lowest point of the element, the boxes are then nailed into place, or attached with hot-melt adhesive in the case of steel formwork. It is always important to see that the arrangement is the same on both sides of the joint!

Notice: The illustrations show the VS® Plus Box. They are to be used in much the same way for the VS® Slim Box.

Assembling the precast elements: The joints, the VS® Slim/Plus Boxes and the loops must be clean, free from dirt or from separative fluids. The wall elements are either placed on a bed of mortar or on underlaid plates of different heights with the permitted connection method according to page 8 (Figure 2 to Figure 5). The elements must be levelled so that their position and heights are in accordance. The width of the opening at the element joint is usually 20 mm, and must not be outside the tolerance range of between 10 and 40 mm. Vertically, the loops should lie in contact one the other, or may have a distance of no more than 20 mm between them.

Manufacture of the steel reinforced concrete precast elements

After demoulding

The flexible covering foil is simply pulled off after demoulding (Figure 15).The inside of the VS® Slim/Plus Box is then exposed, and the wire rope loops are visible. The wire rope loops can then easily be folded out, using a tool to avoid injury (Figure 16).The wire rope loop should protrude perpendicularly from the structural element (Figure 17), and should spring back to this position again even after having been pushed aside when assembling the elements. To do this, the loop is hooked into the fastening that is integrated into the sheet metal box (Figure 18).This is important in order to ensure that the loops will overlap properly later on. The wall elements are now ready for final installation on site.

Installation and usage

Bending the anchoring loopWhen the elements have small dimensions, the anchoring loop of the VS® ISI/BZ System3D can be bent. The crucial factor here are the bending dimensions given, for example, in Figures 10 to 12. At a corner joint, a Ø 8 mm stirrup is recommended in the region of the bent loop.

Reinforcement

Fig. 12: Detail of the reinforce-ment at a bent loop – T-joint (see Figure 11)

Fig. 13: Load application reinforcement

Element jointsStandard joint = 20 mm (Fig. 14) Minimum joint = 15 mm (Fig. 15) Maximum joint = 40 mm (Fig. 16)

Fig. 17 Fig. 18

Installation tolerancesThe planning must not provide for any offsets between the loops over the length of the joint. The loops must therefore be installed in such a way that they are in contact and lie directly on top of one another (Figure 18). If the joints extend over a number of floors, it may in some circumstances be useful to set regular zero points for orientation of the rail sections.

Maximum vertical height tolerance from standard construction variations of 20 mm is admissible (Figure 17).

Fig. 15 Fig. 16Fig. 14

Notice: As an alternative to the stirrups, a suitable

mesh cap can also be installed.

Reinforcement according to Figures 8, 9 and 13 is recommended in the reinforced concrete precast ele-ments according to German regula-tions for the VS® ISI/BZ System3D. Other national regulations have local priority over this recommendation, and if they exist it is essential that they are observed.

When a precast element connection is established using the VS® ISI/BZ System3D, the casting channel is automatically formed by rail profiles. This means that it is not necessary to provide any additional recessing blocks, depressions or the like. When inserting into the formwork, it is necessary to ensure that the wire rope ends are threaded as straight as possible between the reinforcement. Starting from the lowest point of the element, the profiles are then simply nailed into place with the loops at the same height for both elements (Figure 21), or attached with hot-melt adhesive in the case of steel formwork. Fixing the loops to the reinforcing mat with wire prevents the rails and loops from slipping out of place. The anchorages for the wire rope ends are to be arranged at 90 ° to the joint. They are to be positioned in such a way that the heights of facing loops correspond precisely.

Manufacture of the steel reinforced concrete precast elements

Caution: Install the rails in the two elements that are to be joined with the loops at the same height. If the height of the loops

differs by more than 20 mm, the joint loses its load carrying capacity.

Caution: Because the loops are of different lengths, the BZ and ISI VS® Systems are not compatible with one another. For that reason,

rails with blue and orange clips must NOT be combined.

After demouldingThe flexible covering foil is simply pulled off after demoulding (Figure 22). The inside of the VS® profiles is then exposed, and the wire rope loops are visible. The wire rope loop can easily be folded out (Figure 23). The wire rope loop should protrude perpendicularly from the element, and should spring back to this position again even after having been pushed aside when assembling the elements. This is important in order to ensure the correct overlap. The wall ele-ments are now ready for final installation on site.

Assembling the precast elementsThe joints, the rail profiles and the loops must be free from dirt or from separative fluids. With the permitted connection method, the wall elements are either placed on a bed of mortar or on levelling plates. The elements must be levelled so that their position and heights are in accordance. Within the framework of the approval, the spacing of the joint may be between 15 mm and 40 mm. Vertically, the loops should lie in contact one the other, or may have a distance of no more than 20 mm between them (see page 23).

Notice: PFEIFER applica-tion consultation service

should be consulted if increased formwork pressure is to be expected as a result of vertical formwork.

Manufacture of the steel reinforced concrete precast elements

Caution: Install the rails in the two elements that are

to be joined with the loops at the same height. Observe the same installation direction of the upper and lower non-symmetrical rails here. If the height of the loops dif-fers by more than 20 mm, the joint loses its load carrying capacity. Ensure that the rails and long boxes are properly aligned.

After demouldingThe flexible covering foil is simply pulled off after demoulding (Figure 19). The inside of the VS® profiles is then exposed, and the wire rope loops are visible. The wire rope loop can easily be folded out (Figure 20). The wire rope loop should protrude perpendicularly from the element, and should spring back to this position again even after having been pushed aside when assembling the elements.

The optimum joint material for every application

The PFEIFER VS® rail systems have an optimised profile without awkward depressions. It is therefore possible to use a mortar that is plastic and that stands in the joint independently. The big advantage of this is that only very little formwork is needed here. This technology offers significant savings, particularly on large building sites with many metres of joint.

VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR Plastic and stable in the joint without formwork

Less preparatory work is required Mixing and conveying can be done in one step

Pump conveying to the joint

This high-strength, extremely well-flowing casting mortar flows perfectly into the recesses of the PFEIFER VS® Box systems. As a result there are no strength-limiting faults. In combination with the PFEIFER VS® FDS Joint Pressure Formwork, this mortar makes it possible to fabricate extremely high-quality joint casting quickly and securely.

VS® PAGEL® GROUT Highly penetrating Simple handling High design resistance No feed pump required Even relatively few joints can be filled economically

Joint filler VS® PAGEL® GROUT for VS® Slim Box/VS® Plus Box/VS® Box

Joint formwork variants1. Board formworkIn order to completely fill joints between precast elements with VS® PAGEL® GROUT, a shuttering board (Figure 1) is attached on both sides. It is recom-mended that foam rubber is applied to the shuttering boards in order to com-pensate for unevenness. When the shuttering boards are properly fastened and it has been ensured that casting mortar cannot escape anywhere, the joint can be filled as described in the "Joint filling" section. The formwork can be removed, cleaned and reused after the material has hardened.

2. Mortar sealAnother variant makes it possible to close the joint flanks with the plastic VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR (Figure 2). After this mortar has hardened, the core of the joint can be filled with VS® PAGEL® GROUT, and the higher perfor-mance of the systems can be achieved.

3. VS® FDS Joint Pressure FormworkS

The joint pressure formwork consists of two hoses, 4 m long. These are very slightly inflated, and pressed into the slot of the joint, so that the casting space of the loops is not impaired. After the hose has been inserted over the full height of the joint, the hoses are brought up to the rated pressure, and the joint is sealed (Figure 3). The casting mortar can now be introduced from above, over the full height of at most 3.54 m. After the casting mortar has hardened, the air pressure can be released and the hose removed. It can be reused after cleaning. Please follow the detailed installation instructions.

Another way to cast the joints with the VS® PAGEL® GROUT is the variant sketched in Figure 4. In this case, prior to casting, a foam cord/compriband is inserted into the joint in a defined manner, after which a permanently elastic jointing is applied.

When this jointing has completely hardened, the grouting can be carried out with-out any additional formwork measures. The pressure that arises during casting must, however, be considered. This should be determined by the processing company, allowing suitable casting sections to be chosen to avoid the jointing from being pushed out.

Consumption of VS® PAGEL® GROUTThe VS® software calculates the volume of grout for the selected grouted joint, using the true quantities and dimensions of the project that has been entered. It outputs the number of sacks required, and, if wanted, creates an enquiry fax for PAGEL.Table 4 to the right makes it possible to calculate an estimate of the fully-fil-led joints; an average grout consumption per metre of joint, based on walls that are 3.5 m high, is given.

Joint fillingThe grout is added continuously until the planned height (max. 3.54 m) is reached. The formwork must be able to withstand the pressure created in this way.

Compaction is not necessary. Nevertheless, air removal by poking with the reinforcing steel bar or the application of an internal vibrator is recommended. The grout sets very quickly, and allows work to continue promptly. The joint can be subjected to the approved load after the appropriate setting time.

Caution: The VS® PAGEL® GROUT is manufactured and marketed by PAGEL Spezialbeton GmbH & Co. KG in Essen, Germany. The

casting mortar must therefore always be handled properly in accordance with the manufacturer's data.

Caution: If joint pressure formwork or pre-compressed strips are to be pressed into the side joints without affecting the casting space,

the effective lateral concrete coverage of the rail and the wire rope loop is reduced. The remaining cross-section must satisfy the applicable minimum requirements.

Mixing VS® PAGEL® GROUTThe VS® PAGEL® GROUT is delivered ready-to-pour, and only requires the addi-tion of water according to the PAGEL® mixing instructions printed on the bag. The material is then immediately ready to use.

Information and notesThe properties of the grout in the joint play an important role in a load-bearing connection of precast concrete elements with the PFEIFER VS® system elements. The specially developed VS® PAGEL® GROUT has proven its suitability in combination with PFEIFER VS® systems in extensive tests.

Grout properties Very free-flowing for at least 90 minutes Shrinkage-compensated Resistant to frost and de-icing salt Can be pumped with mixing and conveying

pumps Corrosion inhibiting Production certified according to DIN ISO 9001 Delivered as bagged goods (25 kg bags)

VS® PAGEL® GROUT joint filler for the VS® rail systems

Joint formwork variants1. Board formworkIn order to completely fill joints between precast elements with VS® PAGEL® GROUT, a shuttering board (Figure 5) is attached on both sides. It is recom-mended that foam rubber is applied to the shuttering boards in order to com-pensate for unevenness.When the shuttering boards are properly fastened and it has been ensured that casting mortar cannot escape anywhere, the joint can be filled as described in the "Joint filling" section. The formwork can be removed, cleaned and reused after the material has hardened.

2. Mortar sealAnother variant makes it possible to close the joint flanks with the plastic VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR (Figure 6). After this mortar has hardened, the core of the joint can be filled with VS® PAGEL® GROUT, and the higher performance of the systems can be achieved.

3. VS® FDS Joint Pressure Formwork

The joint pressure formwork consists of two hoses, 4 m long. These are very slightly inflated, and pressed into the slot of the joint, so that the casting space of the loops is not impaired. After the hose has been inserted over the full height of the joint, the hoses are brought up to the rated pressure, and the joint is sealed. The casting mortar can now be introduced from above, over the full height of at most 3.54 m. After the casting mortar has hardened, the air pressure can be released and the hose removed. It can be reused after cleaning (Figure 7).

4. Sealed compriband

Another way to cast the joints with the VS® PAGEL® GROUT is the variant sketched in Figure 8. In this case, prior to casting, a foam cord/compriband is inserted into the joint in a defined manner, after which a permanently elastic jointing is applied.

When this jointing has completely hardened, the grouting can be carried out without any additional formwork measures. The pressure that arises during casting must, however, be borne in mind. This should be determined by the processing company, allowing suitable casting sections to be chosen to avoid the jointing from being pushed out.

Consumption of VS® PAGEL® GROUTThe VS® software calculates the volume of grout for the selected grouted joint, using the true quantities and dimensions of the project that has been entered. It outputs the number of sacks required, and, if wanted, creates an enquiry fax for PAGEL.Table 4 below makes it possible to calculate an estimate of the fully-filled joints; an average grout consumption per metre of joint, based on walls that are 3.5 m high, is given.

Caution: The VS® PAGEL® GROUT is manufactured and marketed by PAGEL Spezialbeton GmbH & Co. KG in Essen, Germany. The

casting mortar must therefore always be handled properly in accordance with the manufacturer's data.

Caution: The remaining cross section must be at least 14 cm. If joint pressure formwork or pre-compressed strips are to be

pressed into the side joints without affecting the casting space, the effective lateral concrete coverage of the rail and the wire rope loop is reduced.

VS® PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR for the VS® rail systems

Fig. 11Cross-section of the filling nozzle (3/4" pipe "pressed flat")

Fig. 9 Fig. 10The manufacturer's instructions must be followed when processing VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR and VS® PAGEL® GROUT! You will also find detailed information there regarding processing, and an extensive list of recommended devices. Technical data can also be found in the technical documentation provided by PAGEL®.

Nozzle makingThe user can make the filling nozzle from commercially available 22 mm (3/4") copper heating pipe. It can be attached to the pump hose with the aid of a solder fitting (Figures 11 and 12).

QualificationSuitable machine technology and trained personnel are essential for the quality and efficiency of the VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR. You can request instruction from PAGEL® Spezial-Beton GmbH & Co. KG as required.

Information and notesThe advantage of the VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR lies in the filling of precast element joints, where it is possible to omit the use of formwork to a large extent. The optimised, plastic properties of this mortar means that it is stable after being poured in the joint, without the need for further measures.

Mortar properties Non-shrinking, with an elastic consistency Easy preparation Can be pumped with conventional screw pumps High early and final strengths Resistant to frost and de-icing agents Impermeable to water Low water/cement ratio Production certified according to DIN ISO 9001 Monitored externally and in-house Delivered as bagged goods (25 kg bags)

Mixing VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTARThe mortar is supplied ready to use, and only has to be mixed with water before use. It is essential that the mixing instructions on the bags are observed.

Joint fillingFirst completely close off one joint flank using foam cord, profiled rubber (Figure 9), or alternatively using VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR (Figure 10). After closing with VS®-P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR, wait for the mortar to become stiff. After this, working from the other side, the remaining joint, which is now closed on one side, should be filled from the bottom to the top evenly and continuously. Gently poking the joint with the filling nozzle or the filling pipe ensures a proper result. The joint can easily be drawn flat after having been filled.

Joint formwork variants

Notice: This information only concerns the introduction of the material into the joint!

Caution: Do not constrict the filling space. If pre-compressed strips are to be pressed into the side joints without affecting the

casting space, the effective lateral concrete coverage of the rail and the wire rope loop is reduced. This must also be taken into account by the planners in the dimensioning.
