Eurocodes at Doka
In Europe, a uniform series of Standards known as
Eurocodes (EC) was developed for the construction
field by the end of 2007. These are intended to provide
a uniform basis, valid throughout Europe, for product
specifications, tenders and mathematical verification.
The EC are the world's most highly developed Stand-
ards in the construction field.
In the Doka Group, the EC are to be used as standard
from the end of 2008. They will thus supersede the DIN
norms as the "Doka standard" for product design.
The widely used "Permissible stress design" (compar-
ing the actual stresses with the permissible stresses)
has been superseded by a new safety concept in the
EC.
The EC contrast the actions (loads) with the resistance
(capacity). The previous safety factor in the permissible
stresses is now divided into several partial factors. The
safety level remains the same!

Ed Rd

Ed Design value of effect of actions Rd Design value of the resistance

(E ... effect; d ... design) (R ... resistance; d ... design)
Internal forces from action Fd Design capacity of cross-section
(VEd, NEd, MEd) (VRd, NRd, MRd)
Fd Design value of an action Rk Rk
Steel: Rd = Timber: Rd = kmod ·
Fd = γ F · Fk γM γM
(F ... force)
Fk Characteristic value of an action Rk Characteristic value of the resistance
"actual load", service load e.g. moment resistance to yield stress
(k ... characteristic)
e.g. dead weight, live load, concrete pressure,
wind
γF Partial factor for actions γM Partial factor for a material property
(in terms of load; F ... force) (in terms of material; M...material)
e.g. for dead weight, live load, concrete pres- e.g. for steel or timber
sure, wind Values from EN 12812
Values from EN 12812
kmod Modification factor (only for timber – to take
account of the moisture and the duration of load
action)
e.g. for Doka beam H20
Values as given in EN 1995-1-1 and EN 13377

Product description
The main features:
Doka floor props ● DIB (German Institute of Construction Engineering)
Doka floor props Eurex top are extendable floor props approval n° Z-8.311-905
made of steel and are compliant with EN 1065. They ● EN 1065-compliant prop
are designed for use as vertical props for temporary ● high load-bearing capacity
structures. - see the section headed "Permitted capacities of
Doka floor props"
A
● numbered pegging holes, for easier height adjust-
ment

● Quick connection:
Head adapters of various types can be attached in a
crane-handling-safe manner with the spring-locked
connecting pin
● Drop-out latch:
For safety reasons, Doka props have latches to pre-
vent the inner tube sliding out of the outer tube.
● special thread geometry, which makes the prop eas-
G ier to release even when it is under high load
● When the prop is pushed in all the way, it still leaves
H a clear 10 cm gap so that the operator's hands are
not trapped.
A Head plate ● elbowed fastening clamps, reducing the risk of injury
B Inner tube and making the props easier to operate
C Peg ● Galvanised, long-life constructional design
D Adjusting nut ● Impact protector:
E Toggle lever Optimum protection against damage when adjust-
F Type label ing/setting up the prop using the Plastic mallet 4kg.
G Outer tube with impact protector The following props do not have an impact protector:
H Baseplate - Eurex 20 top 150
- Eurex 20 top 700
- Eurex 30 top 550
