1.1.6. Megashor Allowable Axial Compressive Loads Allowable axial compressive loads are given for loads eccentric at both ends 10mm ( 3 / 8 ), 25mm (1 ), 38mm (1 1 / 2 ), and 50mm (2 ), on the following 4 graphs. Appropriate eccentricities for various arrangements in conjunction with Megashor are given below.

Where Megashor sections are bolted directly to a header beam without rocking heads a frame analysis shall be carried out and the Megashor section checked in combined compression and bending. Combined Bending Moment and Compressive Loads } 3 / 8 10mm ( 3 / 8 ) eccentricity requires the use of self levelling grout between Megashor section and foundation Combined cases can be checked using the equation M + P 1 Mmax Pmax Where M is the applied bending moment, Mmax is the maximum allowable bending moment. P is the applied axial compressive load and Pmax is the maximum allowable axial load at a particular effective length. Sheet 13

1.3.1. Rapid Bar Tie Braces Used to brace between the soldier ledgers. The tensile and shear capacity of the Superslim to Megashor connection must be checked, in accordance with 1.5.8. and 1.5.9. as well as the maximum brace load into the soldier porthole (14.4 kips). Note: When using Rapid Bar Tie bracing with high lateral loads the horizontal deflection, tensile, shear & moment performance of the structure must be checked. Nut Hexagon 15mm (BTX10017) Rapid Tie Porthole Bearing (SSX10039) 1.3.2. Scaffold Tube Braces When Megashor legs are lightly loaded, scaffold tube bracing can be used by connecting to node points using half couplers. Braces are used in pairs and the allowable load in the brace is dependant upon the slip value of the coupler and the length of the tube. The capacity of braces should be checked in accordance with local codes.

Adjustable Vernier Braces Allowable Working Load 8.9 kips* Used on the top and/or bottom of a tower where the presence of screw jacks necessitates a brace with adjustable length. Braces operate on the Vernier principle, holes at 24mm ( 15 / 16 ) and 26mm (1 ) centers interact to give a brace adjustable in steps of 2mm ( 1 / 16 ). Braces are set to the correct length prior to erection and may be tightened when the structure is complete using a podger bar.
