2.3 Rubber recess former bayonet

Quick lift clutch in inserted into the recess formed in the concrete and the locking bolt A is closed manually. When closing the locking bolt it must be ensured that the quick lift clutch is fully engaged and the locking bolt is flush with concrete surface.

The quick lift clutch system can be subjected to loads in any direction and no extra or special parts are required for angled lifts and tilting. It is essential to follow the instructions regarding rebars in concrete in section 3. Once the ring clutch has been engaged in the anchor, the shackle can move in any direction, even under load.

To release the quick lift clutch from the lifting insert, shift the locking bolt back by hand. This will release the lifting clutch.

Every quick lift clutch is marked with the load capacity and a serial number. Clutches should be examined regularly and re-tested annually.

3.4 Reinforcement of the pre-cast element

The concrete element must have at least minimum reinforcement according to EN 1992-1-1. Concrete element must be reinforced to withstand all actions from lifting, tilting and transport including dynamic actions. This reinforcement must be designed by the structural designer.

REA and REAslim lifting inserts must always have anchoring reinforcement 1 according to Figure 10 and Table 9. This reinforcement transfers the load from the lifting insert to the concrete. Anchoring reinforcement must be installed in to the hole in the lifting insert and it must be in direct contact with lower edge of the reinforcement hole in lifting insert, see Figure 11.

Reinforcement in directcontact with lifting insert

Additional surface reinforcement 2, stirrup reinforcement 3 and edge reinforcement 5 must also be placed at the lifting insert area. These reinforcements may be replaced by structural reinforcement in concrete element, providing the structural reinforcement has sufficientcross-section area and overlap lengths.

Reinforcement given in this section covers only the load impact the lifting insert has on the concrete. Due to eccentricities and lifting angles the concrete element may be subject to bending. Due to loads placed on the concrete elements by the lifting actions the concrete element may be subject to cracking. Concrete element must be separately reinforced for bending and cracking.

3.5.2 Diagonal pull reinforcement

3.5.3 Tilting reinforcement

In addition to axial pull reinforcement the lifting inserts must be reinforced for diagonal pull if the lifting angle β is greater than 15°. Diagonal pull reinforcement 4 is given in Figure 10 and Table 10. Reinforcement given in Table 9 must always be present for diagonal pull.

Diagonal pull reinforcement must be placed in direct contact with the recess former of the lifting insert according to Figure 10. Bending diameter D should be same as the width a of the recess former for tight fit.

REA and REAslim lifting inserts can be used for tilting of concrete elements (load angle γ = 0° - 90°). For tilting and lateral pull REA and REAslim lifting inserts must be reinforced with lateral pull reinforcement 5 according to Figure 12 and Table 11. Reinforcement given in Table 9 must always be present for lateral pull.

There are semi-circular notches on both sides of REA and REAslim lifting inserts which help with the placement of lateral pull reinforcement. Lateral pull reinforcement must be placed in direct contact with the lifting insert.

3.6 Actions on lifting inserts

3.6.1 General

3.6.2 Number and actions of lifting inserts

3.6.3 Statical system

The loads acting on a lifting insert shall be determined considering the following factors: - statical system - element self-weight - adhesion and form friction - dynamic effects - position and number of lifting inserts - type of lifting equipment and different load scenarios (tension, combined tension and shear, shear loading).

The number of load bearing lifting inserts and the load acting on the lifting inserts shall be determined corresponding with the individual lifting situations. Statical system of lifting inserts must be accounted for in these calculations. Actions from all individual lifting situations must be calculated according to sections 3.6.3 to 3.6.11.

After actions placed on lifting inserts are determined, the safe working load (SWL) in section 3.2 shall then be compared with the actions. The safety concept requires that the action E does not exceed the safe working load SWL. The following formula must be satisfied for all actions on lifting inserts

E ≤ SWL

where E action on lifting insert, see sections 3.6.3 to 3.6.11, in kN SWL safe working load of lifting insert, see section 3.2, in kN

The most unfavorable relation from action to resistance resulting governs the design.

Lifting equipment used in lifting of pre-cast elements shall allow determinate load distribution to all present lifting inserts. Figure 13 gives examples of statically indeterminate systems where only two lifting inserts carry the load. The load distribution is not clearly defined in these applications. Therefore, these statically indeterminate systems shall be avoided.

To ensure a statically determinate system and that all lifting inserts carry their required part of the load in case of applications with more than two lifting inserts transport aids such as sliding or rolling couplings or balancing beams shall be used.

In case of inclined lifting slings the lifting inserts are loaded by combined tension and shear loads. The inclination β according to Figure 14 governs the level of combined tension and shear loads to be taken into account in the design.

3.6.6 Self-weight

3.6.7 Adhesion and form friction

The self-weight FG of pre-cast elements shall be determined as

FG = V . ρG

whereV volume of the pre-cast element, in m3

ρG density of the concrete, in kN/m3

Adhesion and form friction are assumed to act simultaneously during the lifting of the precast element from the formwork. The actions for demolding situations is

Fadh = qadh . Af

whereFadh action due to adhesion and form friction, in kNqadh basic value of combined adhesion and form friction as per Table 13, in kN/m2

Af contact area between concrete and formwork, in m2

Formwork and conditiona) qadhb)

[kN/m2]

Oiled steel mold, oiled plastic-coated plywood ≥ 1,0

Varnished wooden mold with panel boards ≥ 2,0

Rough wooden mold ≥ 3,0

Table 13. Minimum values of adhesion and form friction qadh

a) Structured surfaces should be considered separately.b) The area to be used in the calculations is the total contact area between the concrete and the form.

Note: The minimum values of Table 13 are valid only if suitable measures to reduce adhesion and form friction are taken e. g. casting on tilting or vibrating the formwork during the demolding process.

3.6.8 Dynamic actions

During lifting and handling of the precast elements the lifting devices are subjected to dynamic actions. The magnitude of the dynamic actions depends on the type of lifting machinery. Dynamic effects shall be taken into account by the dynamic factor ψdyn. For further guidance values of ψdyn depending on the lifting machinery and characteristics of the terrain are given in Table 14.
