Abstract

A climbing formwork and a method for erection of a concrete structure by successively casting a plurality of casting segments, the climbing formwork comprising a first form element for delimiting a cavity to receive concrete for forming an uppermost casting segment, the first form element having upper and lower ends, a support structure to support the first form element, a tilt sensor for measuring a tilt of the first form element, a measuring unit for measuring a horizontal distance between the lower end of the outer surface of the first form element and the upper end of the outer surface of the previous casting segment, a processing unit communicating with the tilt sensor and the measuring unit for calculating a target tilt of the first form element, the processing unit further for determining a deviation between the actual tilt and the target tilt of the first form element.
