Formwork ties and other components can be fixed virtually anywhere along the Super Slim Soldier’s length, you have complete freedom to create the optimum design, whatever the application.

Using close-tolerance jigs, the Super Slim Soldier is precisely manufactured from high-yield steel, combining maximum durability and load capacity with reduced unit weight.

Robustness to cope with the demands of frequent re-use means easier assembly and consistently accurate fabrication on-site.

Table 1 shows the working loads for a range of effective strut lengths when the shore is subjected to axial compression. The working loads are established on the following basis: Horizontal:

• Shore pinned at each end. • Deflection of the strut due to its own weight. • Eccentricity due to shore misalignment by L 200.

/

Inclined:

• Shore pinned at each end. • Deflection of the strut due to its own weight. • Eccentricity due to shore misalignment by L 200.

/

Vertical:

2/ • Shore with Tilt Head at one end and pinned at the other end. • Eccentricity due to shore being set 1:200 out of plumb. • Tilt Head loaded a maximum of 20mm eccentric with eccentricity positioned around weakest axis (Iyy).

Other Capacities 6-Way Connector: Max capacity in compression

Max Bending Moment (10mm plates)

Hinge Assembly: Max capacity in tension or compression at any angle

1/ • Shore pinned at each end. • Eccentricity due to shore being set 1:200 out of plumb. • Eccentricity positioned around weakest axis (Iyy).

These capacities have been established by theoretical analysis for the main body of the shore and by testing of the various connections. 76 kN

Bartie Connector: Max capacity in tension only (restricted by flared hole in Super Slim Soldier)

Allowable Tension Loads 66 kN Table 2 shows the maximum working loads for shores with pinned ends only used in tension. These capacities are established with the shore pinned into either a Strut Adaptor or a Universal Tilt Base. Careful selection of the Universal Tilt Base anchors is required to safely withstand the combined loads created.
