8 Tension and Compression Sysems APPLICATIONS Ancon has supplied Tension and Compression Sysems o many srucures and buildings. The wide range of componens can be used o creae a variey of assemblies, from simple ie bars o complex bracing sysems involving several bars joined a one poin. The following applicaions demonsrae he variey of uses. Timber Consrucion A combinaion of imber and seel can use he bes properies of each maerial and achieve a cos-effecive and aracive design. Ancon Tension Sysems can be conneced o imber compression members, and if high loads are involved, several bars can be used ogeher. Roof Srucures Trusses and laice frames which suppor roofs can benefi from he replacemen of ension members wih he Ancon sysem. This will allow generous sie adjusmens o be made o accommodae inaccuracies wihin he frame. This would no be possible wih a convenionally boled frame. Canopies Canopies are frequenly suppored from above o provide unobsruced access below. Ancon ension bars ransfer he load from he fron of he canopy back o he main srucure or o a mas for free sanding canopies. 8

9 Tel: +44 (0) Web: Sainless Seel Sysems Sainless seel is used for applicaions where a mainenance-free life is imporan or where a high qualiy polished finish is required. This can be paricularly impressive when used in conjuncion wih large areas of glazing. Cross-Bracing The use of anchor discs in cross-braced panels will allow bars o lie in he same plane. This removes he need o offse bars, wih he disc providing an ineresing design feaure for he panel. Glazed Srucures The passage of ligh is normally a vial consideraion in he design of glazed srucures. The small profile of he Ancon Tension Sysem ensures he maximum ransmission of ligh while enhancing he overall appearance of he srucure. 9
