AI Technical Summary
Existing formwork elements struggle to efficiently represent different design geometries and are cumbersome to store and transport due to their design limitations.
The formwork element is designed with components connected by blind rivets, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and can be combined with extensions, supports, sealing elements, and injection systems for geometric modifications, facilitating space-saving storage and transport.
Enables rapid adaptation to various design geometries and efficient storage and transportation of formwork elements, enhancing flexibility and convenience in construction applications.

Abstract
Description
[0001] A formwork element (1) for a joint between two concrete bodies is described, optionally with or without a sealing function.
[0002] The purpose of the innovation is to design a formwork element (1) in such a way that it can represent different design geometries in a short time by assembling various components on site.
[0003] Another task of the innovation is to design the formwork element (1) in such a way that it can be stored and transported in a space-saving manner.
[0004] A special feature of the inventive formwork element (1) is that the individual components are connected to each other by means of blind rivets (4).
[0005] Exemplary embodiments of the innovation are shown in the drawings and are described below: Fig.1: The formwork elements (1) are connected to each other at their ends using blind rivets (4). The extensions (2) for geometric modification of the concrete body are connected to the formwork elements (1) using blind rivets (4). For stability, supports (3) are connected to the formwork elements (1) using clamps (6). Sealing elements such as joint sheets (9), injection hoses (11), or swelling strips (10) can be combined with the formwork element (1), whereby the joint sheets (9) are clamped between the supports (3) and the swelling strips (10) or injection hoses (11) are connected to the formwork element (1) using clamps (7 and 8). Fig. 2: The swelling strip (10) is connected to the formwork element (1) at its end face using clamps (7). The injection hose (11) is connected to the formwork element (1) at its end face using clamps (8). The clamps (7 and 8) are connected to the formwork element (1) using blind rivets (4). Fig.3: The clamp (6) is connected to the expanded metal using a blind rivet (4). The support (3) is clamped into the clamp (6). The expanding strip (10) is connected to the formwork element (1) using the clamp (7). The clamp (7) is connected to the formwork element (1) using a blind rivet (4). Shutdown element list Nr.
