Formrivningsprognostisering med HETT22 : En jämförelsestudie av HETT 22 som prognosverktyg

Sammanfattning: The increase of population results in more housing buildings and infrastructure, which increases the need for stable concrete structures that can safely accommodate people. In countries like Sweden, where temperatures are below zero for several months a year, housing construction cannot come to a halt. If a concrete structure is exposed to low temperatures, the phenomenon of early freezing can occur. This can damage the structure when forms are removed. To ensure that forms can be removed at the right time without causing damage, various methods have been developed by the industry, such as the prediction tool HETT 22. This program uses mathematical models to estimate when a safe form removal can be performed, considering factors such as concrete composition and surrounding conditions during casting and curing. A comparative study was conducted between obtained measurement data from two different building projects and simulations in the software. The results of wall simulations with HETT 22 were positive and show that the program can predict with good accuracy when the removal of formwork can be performed. However, the results from the floor slab simulations were indeterminate due to lack of documentation of infrared heating, making it difficult to draw a suitable conclusion about HETT 22:s capacity for floor slab simulations.
