The functional/technical instructions, safety
warnings and loading data must all be strictly
observed and complied with. Failure to do so
can cause accidents and severe (even life-
threatening) damage to health, as well as very
great material damage.
If any deviation from these instructions is con-
templated, or any application which goes
beyond those described here, then revised
static calculations must be produced for check-
ing, as well as supplementary assembly
instructions.
The customer is to ensure that the User Infor-
mation booklet (Method Statement) provided
by Doka is available to all users, and that they
have been made aware of it and have easy
access to it at the usage location.
Always observe all industrial safety regulations
and other safety rules applying to the applica-
tion and utilisation of our products in the coun-
try and/or region in which you are operating.
Many of the illustrations in this booklet show
the situation during formwork assembly and
are therefore not always complete from the
safety point of view.
The equipment/system must be inspected by
the customer before use, to ensure that it is in
suitable condition. Steps must be taken to rule
out the use of any components that are dam-
aged, deformed, or weakened due to wear, cor-
rosion or rot.
Only original Doka components may be used as
spare parts.
Combining our formwork systems with those
of other manufacturers could be dangerous,
risking damage to both health and property. If
you intend to combine different systems,
please contact Doka for advice first.

Product description
Alu-Framax Xlife - the crane-independent variant Columns
of Framax Xlife
Alu-Framax Xlife is a complete system with high-
performance safety and working accessories. The
panels are lightweight and handy, and so can be
quickly erected by hand.
The system uses only a very few different sizes of
panel to obtain a consistent 15 cm increment-grid.
The connecting devices and accessories are also
designed to fit in with this increment-grid.
The innovative plastic coating of the Xlife sheet
enables it to be re-used intensively, with superb
concrete results every time.
Alu-Framax Xlife is ideal for use on:
walls
9731-326-01
columns
circular formwork
foundations
A range of practical accessories makes work on
the site a lot easier and does away with the need
for costly in-situ improvisations.
Alu-Framax Xlife is 100% compatible with Doka's Circular formwork
framed formwork Framax Xlife. All the linking
parts, closures and accessories are interchangea-
ble, of course.
With Framax Xlife, you can form large areas with
crane-shifted gangs, and then continue forming
manually with Alu-Framax Xlife, without having to
wait for the crane.

Transporting / handling the panels
For offloading panels from a truck, or lifting them
on-site a stack at a time, use the Framax transport
gear (see "Transporting, stacking and storing").
Erecting the formwork

Spray the ply with release agent (see "Cleaning
and care").
Fix the first panel to the ground with a panel strut
(see the section headed "Plumbing accessories").
This stabilises the panel so that it cannot fall 9731-363-01
over.
Caution! In the same way, carry on lining up panels,

clamping them together and fitting form-ties.
Never use a sledge hammer to plumb the
panels!
This would damage the profiles of the pan-
els.
Use only proper plumbing tools (e.g. a
special pry-bar) that cannot cause any
damage!
Continue lining up panels in this way, clamp
them together (see "Inter-panel connections")
and attach panel struts.
The gang-form is now stable and can be plumbed
and aligned exactly. 9731-364-01
Mount the pouring platform (see "Pouring plat-

forms with single brackets").
Fix the attachable ladder to the pouring platform
to prevent it tipping over.

Pouring
Do not exceed the maximum permissible

rate of placing.
See also "Concrete pressure on perpen-
dicular formwork to DIN 18218" in the
Doka Calculation Guide.
Permitted concrete pressure: 60 kN/m2
Concrete compaction by vibration must
comply with DIN 4235 Part 2.
Pour the concrete.
Make only moderate use of vibrators, carefully
co-ordinating the times and locations of vibrator

Striking
Observe the stipulated striking times.
Remove the end-of-platform sideguards, pouring

platform and opposing guard-rails.
Beginning with the opposite formwork, dismount
the panels one-by-one - take out the form-ties
and remove the connectors to the neighbouring
panel.
Lift the panel away and clean concrete residue off
the ply (see "Cleaning and care").
Alu-Framax as a crane-moved form-

work
Large multi-panel elements can be pre-assembled
face-down on a level screed floor. See "Vertical
stacking of elements" for detailed instructions on
how to attach the interpanel connectors.
These multi-panel elements can be lifted using
crane-hoisting gear and the Framax lifting hook. For
detailed instructions see Section "Resetting by
crane" and the Operating Manual for the Framax
lifting hook..
Max. load- bearing capacity:

1000 kg / Framax lifting hook
(feasible formwork area with 2 lifting hooks =
approx. 30 m )
If "hybrid" gang-forms (containing both Alu-

Framax Xlife + Framax Xlife panels) are
lifted and reset by crane, they must be given
additional stiffening reinforcement.
Do not exceed the permitted design values
of the Alu-Framax Xlife connector compo-
nents! (see "Inter-panel connections")

With closures, the universal walings bring the

gang-forms firmly into alignment and transfer the
form-tie forces to the framed panels.
Using additional universal walings gives gang-
forms better rigidity, especially in higher vertically
stacked configurations. This makes it possible to
pick up and set down large gang-forms by crane
without any problems. The additional universal
walings are also useful for transferring the loads
from platforms.

Facilitating stripping with the strip-

ping timber
The diagonally cut stripping timber makes quick
work of striking inside-formwork in narrow cross-
sections such as lift-shafts or stair-wells.

The Framax stripping timber is available in lengths

of 2.85 m. The stripping timbers thus project 15 cm
beyond the ends of the panels, and so are easier to
remove.

90 degree corners

The Framax outside corner is an easy way of form-
ing corners in narrow trench situations or where
large wall thicknesses are called for.

Closing the full-circle formwork

The remaining areas for closing a full circle can be
formed in a number of different ways.
Around the perimeter, use panels of equal

width wherever possible.
In order for the load transferred via the
steel waling RD 0.40 m to be as uniform as
possible, adjacent panels may not have
bigger width differences than those of the
standard width grid.
Any imbalances must be compensated
for by additional shoring.
This also applies to transition zones to
straight walls, and to stop-ends.
Careful, correct shoring and pouring is par-

ticularly important when working with circu-
lar formwork.

Determining the best distribution of the panels

Example
Key data of structure:

Inside radius [cm]: 580
Outside radius [cm]: 600
Permitted deviation from circular arc [cm]: 1.0
Length of concreting section [cm]: 911 (1/4 of the inside circumference)
Width of panel:
Determine the max. panel width in the radius segment diagram, with reference to the

radius of the structure and the permitted deviation from the circular arc.
Width of circular forming plates for inside formwork:

As a general rule, use the Circular forming plate 0.20m with the inside formwork. Width of circular forming plate = 20 cm
Number of circular forming plates and panels for inside formwork:

( Length of concreting section - panel width ) ( Panel width + 20 ) = ... ( 911 - 60 ) / ( 60 + 20 ) = 10.64
Number of circular forming plates = Rounded-up result Number of circular forming plates = 11
Number of panels = Number of circular forming plates + 1 Number of panels = 12
Widths of circular forming plates, and numbers needed for outside formwork:
( Outside radius inside radius ) x ( Panel width + 20 ) - Panel width = ... ( 600 580 ) x ( 60 + 20 ) - 60 = 22.76 cm
Width of "Type A" Circular forming plate =

Calculate the difference. Difference = ( 22.76 cm - 20 cm ) = 2.76 cm

Erecting and plumbing / Pouring platform / Resetting

Erecting and plumbing
Panel struts ensure that the formwork remains sta-
ble against wind loads, and make it easier to plumb
and align the formwork.
Resetting
Thanks to the spindle-lock, the formwork can be
moved with the Framax lifting hook (A) even when
assembled in a curved configuration.
9731-325-01
Important note:
The formwork panels must be held stable in
every phase of the construction work!
Please observe all applicable safety regula-
tions!
For more information, please see "Plumbing acces-
sories". A
9727-349-01
Pouring platform
The Framax brackets 90 (A) can be used to make a
universal pouring scaffold. The maximum size of the unit for reset-
ting will depend - among other things - on
the radius that has been set.
When resetting large gang-forms, ensure
that these are sufficiently stiffened.
Prevent oblique pull, by using long trans-
fer cables (spreading angle of lifting
tackle : max. 60).
Check that the slip-out guard of the
Framax lifting hook has engaged!

Doka framed formwork Alu-Framax Xlife is
the crane-independent variant of Framax Xlife
Because it is a lightweight variant, Alu-Framax Xlife lets sites continue to benefit from the many advantages
of Doka framed formwork even in areas where forming has to be carried out by hand.
Alu-Framax Xlife is fully compatible with the steel-framed formwork Framax Xlife
from the logical system-grid all the way through to all the accessories.
Alu-Framax Xlife is available for rental, leasing or purchase.
At any of the Doka branches in your region.
