Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a wood gang form, and more particularly, to a wood gang form and a method for constructing a concrete building using the same, which can simplify a structure, allow equipment of various kinds for construction of a concrete building, such as a lifting ring, a form tier, a bracing and a worktable, to be freely applied to the wood gang form, and enable a worker to work rapidly in safety.
Background Art
In general, in order to construct a reinforced concrete building, a framework of the building is constructed through the steps of arranging reinforcing bars to form a frame, installing a plurality of molds on the outside of the frame, placing concrete into the molds and curing the concrete for a predetermined period of time.
In case of such molds, it takes much time to manufacture the molds because the molds are made with a plurality of wood panels, and it is impossible to reuse the molds because most of the molds are damaged while being removed from the frame after curing of concrete. Moreover, for arrangement of the reinforcing bars and exterior finish work of the building, scaffolds are additionally installed, but it is impossible to reuse the scaffolds once they are used.
Recently, construction of high-rise buildings and large-sized buildings is on the increase. In order to place concrete for such high-rise buildings, large-sized molds (so-called “gang form”) are used.
The gang form includes: a placing plate; a frame mounted on a peripheral surface of one side of the placing plate; and a joist member and a yoke member which are mounted on the placing plate inside the frame in the orthogonal direction to each other to reinforce the placing plate. The placing plate may be made with wood or a steel plate.
The wood gang form according to a prior art is just a large-sized mold, and is very inconvenient in installation and use and is deteriorated in quality and constructability of large-sized buildings because it does not have any suitable structure for installing equipment for placing concrete, such as a lifting ring, a form tier for keeping an interval between molds, a bracing for supporting the wood gang form and a worktable for providing a work space. Furthermore, the above-mentioned equipment can be installed using a pair of joist members and yoke members. So, the prior art has a disadvantage in that too many joist members and yoke members are used.
Cited reference 1 (Korean Patent No. 10-1207013) discloses a gang form prefabricated by aluminum panel including: a plurality of aluminum panels each of which has a rectangular flat plate abutting on concrete and a connection frame formed at the edge of the flat plate and which are connected with each other by connection members; and horizontal supporters fixed to the outer faces of the panels, wherein the rectangular flat plate includes a plurality of through holes which are formed in the vertical direction so that a plurality of connection bars penetrate through the through holes and reinforcing frames which outwardly protrude at the right and left of the through holes on the back of the rectangular flat plate to the same height as the connection frames so as to be elongated in the vertical direction of the panels, wherein a tie bolt is disposed between an inner panel and the gang form to maintain a predetermined interval between the inner panel and the gang form in such a way that an end of the tie bolt is fixed to a yoke through the through hole so as to fasten the tie bolt to the fabricated gang form, wherein a worktable having a horizontal frame and a vertical frame which are connected with each other is mounted on the outer face of the gang form in such a way that an end of the horizontal frame mounted on the outer face of the gang form is located between the two reinforcing frames so that coupling means are inserted and fixed into coupling holes of the reinforcing frames and the horizontal frame, and wherein a lower connection member which has coupling holes formed at predetermined intervals to correspond to the coupling holes formed in the reinforcing frame is connected to or disconnected from the reinforcing frame of the aluminum panel through the coupling means. However, the gang form is prefabricated but has no structure allowing application of the equipment, such as the lifting ring, the form tier for keeping an interval between molds, the bracing for supporting the wood gang form and the worktable for providing a work space.

For use of the wood gang forms 100 according to the present invention, a plurality of the wood gang forms 100 are arranged in vertical and horizontal directions and joined with each other through clamps according to the size of the building. The clamps may be all kinds of the well-known products.
Now, a method for constructing a concrete building using the wood gang form according to the present invention will be described as follows.
1. Assembly of Prefabricated Wood Gang Forms
According to the size of a building, the number of the wood gang forms 100 is selected, and then, the wood gang forms 100 are assembled with clamps. Of course, the building may be constructed using just one wood gang form 100, but, in this specification, an example that a plurality of the wood gang forms 100 are used to construct a building.
Additionally, the lifting ring 60 for lifting the wood gang form assembly, the bracing head 70 for connecting the bracing 1, and the worktable 80 for providing a work space are assembled to the wood gang form assembly, but detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted because the assembly of the equipment is practicable through the above-mentioned configuration.
If a mounting location of the form tier is decided, the hole for mounting the form tier is bored in the placing plate 10 of the wood gang form 100 in such a way that the hole is communicated with the first through hole 32.
The lifting ring 60, the bracing head 70 and the worktable 80 are assembled at the optimum positions according to the size of the building. Moreover, the bracing head 70 may be assembled after the wood gang form assembly is installed.
2. Lifting of Wood Gang Form Assembly
After the hoist is connected to the ring part 61 of the lifting ring 60 assembled to the wood gang form assembly, the hoist lifts the wood gang form assembly, and then, carries the wood gang form assembly to a construction site.
3. Installation of Wood Gang Form Assembly
The wood gang form assembly is erected and installed to be suitable for the structure (wall bodies, pillars and so on) of the building.
After the wood gang form assembly is installed, the upper part of the bracing 1 is assembled to the bracing head 70 assembled to the wood gang form assembly, and the lower part is fixed on the ground.
When the location of the wood gang form assembly is decided, the fixing kicker 90 is combined and anchored to the bottom portion of the wood gang form assembly to install the wood gang form assembly stably.
The lifting ring 60 and the bracing head 70 can be easily separated from the wood gang form 100 just through separation of the locking pins and the connection pins. Therefore, if there is an interference between installation of the wood gang form assembly and other work when the wood gang form assembly is installed or if the location is changed by a change of design, the lifting ring 60 and the bracing head 70 are separated, and then, are mounted at other locations.
In the meantime, when the wall bodies and the pillars are constructed, the wood gang form assemblies which face each other are tied using the form tier 200. First, a hole is bored in the placing plate 10 according to the mounting position of the form tier 200 in such a way that the hole is communicated with the first through hole 32 of the joist member 30. After that, the long bolt 210 of the form tier 200 is inserted into the bored hole and the first through hole 32, and then, the washer plates and the nuts 220 are fastened at both sides of the form tier 200, so that the form tier 200 is installed and the wood gang form assemblies are tied.
4. Concrete Placing
The building is constructed through the steps of placing concrete in the space formed by the wood gang form assembly and curing the concrete.
5. Removal of Form
When the concrete is cured, the wood gang form assembly is removed. In a case that the bracing 1 is used, the bracing 1 is separated from the bracing head 70 or the bracing head 70 is separated from the wood gang form assembly, and in a case that the form tier 200 is mounted, the form tier 200 is disassembled.
After all of the components are completely disassembled and removed, the hoist is connected to the lifting ring 60 to remove the wood gang form assembly and carry the wood gang form assembly to another place.
Some of the above-mentioned processes require the worker's hand work. The worker works while moving along the worktable 80 in safety after locking a safety hook to the handrail 50 or works while ascending with the hand holding the handrail 50, alternatively, while ascending using the joist members 30 as stairs. Therefore, because the worker can do high place work in safety, the present invention can prevent the worker's falling accident and reduce working hours.
