How-to's with MAX FRANK

Sorp 10^® sound absorbers integrated into the concrete ceiling ensure good room acoustics and reduce reverberation time. In combination with Sorp acoustic plaster, a jointless, homogeneous ceiling design is achieved.

The requirements for shuttered fair-faced concrete surfaces are particularly high for representative structural elements in building construction. For this purpose, spacers with a minimum contact area are recommended in order to avoid marking the contact points.

Acoustic and thermal decoupling is important for quality of living when connecting multi-storey residential buildings via arcades.

Whether for force transmission, sealing or special component geometries – there is a great deal of variation in the execution of expansion joints. For that reason, the manufacture of this formwork on the building site is often complex, unreliable and time-consuming.

For optimum shear force transmission, load-bearing precast concrete sections can be connected to the internal structure using Egcobox^® thermal breaks.

Concrete structural elements that are curved and inclined on one side can be produced simply and rationally with Stremaform^® formwork elements.

Tracks for trams are subject to lower loads in comparison with railway tracks. Therefore strip foundations are generally adequate, even on sandy ground.

Expansions joints are placed to safely absorb the expected movement between individual concrete sections. The transition between a cold joint seal using coated metal waterstops and expansion joint seal with PVC waterbars must be executed with particular care
