Abstract

The Semarang-Demak Toll Road was planned with detailed procedures to address disorganized road networks, increased traffic volumes, congestion, land subsidence, and tidal floods. It has toll entrances in Semarang, Genuk, and Sayung sub-districts and ends in Demak City. Its purpose is to minimize traffic jams, provide access to tourist cities, and serve as a tidal barrier sea embankment. The formwork support system's proper design is crucial to ensure the safe construction of the main structure. A unique disk lock and steel tubular scaffold are utilized for a slab-on-pile structure employing a flying falsework system. This approach results in a structurally sound and secure construction that is not susceptible to twisting, providing quick erection and disassembly, significantly improving construction efficiency. The system was employed in a portion of the Semarang-Demak toll road project, and its efficacy was evaluated using finite element analysis software. The software provides security and convenience in analyzing structures, paying attention to the nominal strength of each steel profile and the internal forces at work. All components are safe as their actual deflection falls within the maximum limit.
