Combined Bending Moment and Compressive Loads

Combined cases can be checked using the equation M + P ≤ 1Mmax Pmax

Where M is the applied bending moment, Mmax is the maximum allowable bending moment. P isthe applied axial compressive load and Pmax is the maximum allowable axial load at a particulareffective length.

E.g. A vertical Megashor leg with effective length of 6 metres in the X-X axis and 3 metres in the Y-Yaxis is bolted directly to a header beam at the top and has a Megashor jack at the base. A frameanalysis program indicates an axial compressive load in the section of 620 kN and a bendingmoment in the X-X axis of 30 kNm. There is no bending moment in the Y-Y axis.

From information given by frame analysis: M = 30 kNm, P = 620 kN

XX axis check. Using Megashor graph 1.1.6.1. with 10mm eccentricity the maximum allowable axialload with an effective length of 6 metres (Pmax) = 910 kN.

From the Megashor data given in this sheet Mmax = 102 kNm

Using the equation above 30 + 620 = 0.975 < 1 Therefore OK102 910

YY axis check. Using Megashor graph 1.1.6.2. with 10mm eccentricity Pmax = 990 kN > 620 kNapplied, hence OK.

Allowable axial compressive loads are given for loads eccentric at both ends 10, 25, 38and 50mm on the following 4 graphs.

Appropriate eccentricities for various arrangements in conjunction with Megashor are givenbelow.

Megashor jack code 05451 to MegashorMegashor rocking head code 05473 to Megashor 10mmMegashor end plate to foundation with grout

Any of the above to foundation without grout 50mm

Where different load eccentricities are present at either end use the maximum value bothends.

Where Megashor sections are bolted directly to header or waling beams without rockingheads a frame analysis shall be carried out and the Megashor section checked incombined compression and bending.

Braces connecting to Web = ‘Web’ braces

60 x 8mm mild steel flat tension brace with 22mm diameter end holes. Connect in crossed pairs to the21mm dia. holes in Megashor Shafts via M20 x 40 gr. 8.8 bolts and nuts (Code 1751) or in single crossedpairs to the small holes in Super Slim Soldier Ledgers via M20 x 90 bolt and nut (Code 01747 and 01833).Hole centres may be determined from 1.3.3, 1.3.4 and 1.3.5. AWL when attached to Megashor is 40kN per brace (80kN per pair).AWL when attached to Soldier Ledgers is 30kN per brace.60 x 10mm braces are available to special order.Each brace supplied on hire attracts an alteration charge - Flat Brace 60 x 8 Alteration, code 09939.

The braces are fixed to length using 2 No. M12 x 40 Grade 8.8 set pins and nuts (Code 1802).

The following combinations of components cover a brace range from 1800 to 5600mm:1. Short Outer and Short Inner 1800 to 2902mm2. Long Outer and Short Inner 2682 to 3800mm3. Long Outer and Long Inner 3600 to 5600mm

Used on the top and/or bottom of a tower where the presence of screw jacks necessitates a brace withadjustable length. Braces operate on the Vernier principle, holes at 24 and 26mm centres interact to give abrace adjustable in steps of 2mm. Braces are set to the correct length prior to erection and may betightened in-situ when the structure is complete using a podger bar. Allowable working load 40kN.

1.3.6. Rapid Bar Tie Braces

Bracing to flange.

Rapid ties are used to connect between the soldier ledgers. The tensile and shear capacity of the SuperSlim to Megashor connection must be checked, in accordance with 1.5.6. and 1.5.7. as well as themaximum brace load into the soldier porthole (65kN).

Note: When using Rapid Bar Tie bracing with high lateral loads the horizontal deflection of the structuremust be checked.

Porthole Bearing(code 05261)

Rapid tie hex nut(code 07841)

Rapid tie

Half coupler (code 05241) and M20 x 45 Csk bolt and nut (code 01740)

AWL = 6.25 kN

1.3.7. Scaffold Tube Braces

When Megashors are lightly loaded, scaffold tube bracing can be used. Tubes are connected to node pointsusing half couplers. Braces are used in pairs, the allowable load in the brace is dependant upon the slipvalue of the coupler and the length of the tube. The capacity of braces should be checked in accordancewith BS5975.

Note: It is not possible to connect tubes between the Megashor webs with half couplers.

1.4.2. Loading and Unloading

Maximum axial compressive jack loads unloaded by the various methods are as below.

A. Unloading1. Megashor Jack spanner* 500kN2. Application of sledge hammer to spindle lugs * 650kN3. Application of sledge hammer to spindle lugs † 1000kN

* Ensure threads are well greased.† Dismantle jack entirely before use. Clean all four thread surfaces and coat

liberally with Molyslip OGL grease prior to reassembly. Details available from RMD Kwikform.

B. LoadingBy application of a controlled torque via the Megashor jack spanner (code 05484), known loads up to 300kN can be applied. Torque is determined from the graph below or the equation:

Tp = 9W where Tp is the Torque applied to the jack handle (Nm)W is the load in the jack (kN)

The joints between Megatruss elements are stiff and the truss acts structurally as if it were fully welded.Frame analysis shall be carried out and members and joints checked for Bending Moments, Axial, Shear,Bearing and Local Buckling Stresses as well as any coincident combination of the above.Where possible loads should be applied at node points to reduce local bending in the truss chords.Bearing ontruss chords should be eliminated where possible by carrying loads directly into Megatruss nodes and chordprops/ties. Refer to RMD Kwikform Technical Office for details.

Experience has shown that at least 20% of the structural capacity of the truss members is usedup by local rather than global bending effects. This will be much increased if bearing loads arepresent on truss chords or if loads are not supported at node points.

* The end reactions given are derived from the AWL of the end diagonal. If an end prop is usedas shown in 1.5.18 the values of A and B can be increased to a maximum of 1000 kN asshown in 1.5.19 provided the load in the end diagonal is checked.

Where 90 thick Megashor sections are to be used adjacent to each other remove 6 M20 x 60 gr. 8.8 bolts and nuts (code 01750)and add 6 M20 x 50 gr. 8.8 bolts and nuts (code 01749).

4.1. Megashor

1. Ensure Megashor shafts bolted end to end are orientated so the webs of all sections are parallel.

2. Megashor screw jacks may be unloaded manually by striking the spindle lugs. For release of loads over 500kN Jacks should be fully dismantled before use. Coat all four-thread surfaces with Molyslip OGL lubricant (available from RMD Kwikform) and reassemble.

3. Crossed tension braces bolted to Megashor shafts should be used in pairs in both directions. One of each pair attached to each side of the Megashor section.

4. Ensure Megashor rocking heads are attached such that the tapped holes are bolted to the Megashor section.

5. If, subsequent to assembly, gaps are present between end plates, fill withlow viscosity cementitious grout.

6. The customer is to ensure that the loads applied to the end plates of Megashor shafts or accessories by hydraulic jacks or otherwise are suitably spread and placed to avoid local over-stress of the section.

7. Some components weigh over 25kg. Plan lifts in accordance with local Manual Handling Regulations.

4.2. Megatruss

1. Notes for assembly of Megashor equally apply to Megatruss.

2. Ensure all fasteners at a joint are located hand tight prior to tightening any at that joint.

3. Position all elements and fasteners to each section of the truss hand tight prior to tightening.

4. Torque all fasteners that join Megashor shafts end to end, end to Megatruss nodes or Megatruss End Bearers to 300 Nm.

5. Support trusses by the bottom chord batten plates during assembly. Provide adequate temporary lateral restraints. Avoid bearing loads to the bottom chord batten plates in excess of 150 kN.

6. Ensure trusses are lifted in a safe manner, refer to RMD Kwikform Technical Office.
