Product Information

This is likely to be the most complex area for fabrication, particularly if the arch is inclined. The arrangement of plating is generally intuitive and confirmed by some local finite element modelling. In addition to dealing with force and moment transfer, careful consideration must be given to how the pieces can be fabricated , so as to achieve an efficient, but cost-effective solution. In a normal beam and slab bridge, precamber (allowance for permanent deformation) is applied to the steel beams to shape them such that when full dead load is applied their deflected shape is the intended profile. This is achieved by cutting the web plate accordingly to deal with these bending effects. Design rules for tension components are given in BS EN 1993-1-11 [4]. As a rule of thumb, it is convenient to size the cables under SLS loading, limiting tensile stresses to 45% of breaking load. Proprietary system manufacturers can provide data on various forms of rope, strand and bar.

Using threaded rod is simple for anyone who has previously worked with various types of large screws and bolts, particularly carriage bolts. Stud bar works a lot like many types of standard bolts, with a few small differences. Mild steel threaded rod is one of the most common types. Various sorts of steel and derivative materials are typically used in the manufacture of screw rods. Stainless steel ( SS threaded rod) is another common type, as is galvanised threaded bar. The latter is zinc plated for added protection against corrosion, making it ideal for use when exposed to harsh conditions or humid environments over prolonged periods. A parabolic arch is the best shape for structural efficiency because, under uniform load there should just be axial forces in the arch members. However, the presence of the tie beam contributes stiffness to the system and this means means that there are some moments, especially around the arch springings. A circular arch will always have greater bending moments in the arch members. By taking the arch thrust through the tie member, the primary requirement for the substructure reduces to only carrying vertical loads. It can be seen that one end will still require a longitudinal restraint to carry wind, braking, acceleration and skidding forces, and that the other end is permitted to move longitudinally.

The M (metric) sizing of threaded rod refers to a standardised diameter and is normally featured prominently on most UK stud bar fasteners and fixings. Thread Size (Thread Count and Thread Pitch) Whereas most bolts are only threaded at one end, true threaded rod more commonly features threading along its full length or at both ends. Unlike bolts, the required sections of threaded rod are typically cut to size from a longer piece, meaning that in most applications the threaded rod will not feature any type of head for hammering or driving the section more easily.

The use of weathering steel for box elements is a useful measure, with benefits for health and safety, as no painting will be required internally. If box elements are large enough to permit access, then manholes must be provided. These need to be sized to permit evacuation of someone on a stretcher – those used for potholing rescue are the most compact. To maintain squareness, the fabricator may wish to add ring frames at the ends of the fabricated sections. Although the tied arch is essentially just a simple span, the influence lines of some of the elements are worth examining. It is obvious that maximum axial forces are generated when the whole span is loaded. However, maximum bending will occur with just part of the span loaded. A typical influence line for bending in the arch is given below left. Note that there are both positive and negative parts. The influence line for a vertical hanger usually comprises a single positive peak as shown below right. Thread pitch refers to the distance, measured side-to-side, between any two thread crests (the widest part of the threading that extends outwards from the core of the rod). Threaded rods come in several different materials, with the best choice depending on various factors. These typically include what you need the stud to do, the environment where it will be installed, and which types of materials the anchor pin is going to be securing.An arch box is usually a simple fabrication comprising four plates joined along their edges. As shears are generally quite low in the arch, the required size of these welds is small. It is normal to have an internal fillet weld plus an external part penetration weld. Looking at the diagram above, it can be seen that a tied-arch is really just a simply supported beam. The arch is held longitudinally at one end, with the other end free to expand or contract under varying temperatures. placed after 3pm on a Friday or at a weekend or on a Bank Holiday will be processed on the next working day Hendy, C.R.; Iles, D.C.

As a popular subtype of fasteners and fixings, threaded rod uses are many and varied. They are commonly used in professional construction work, repair and maintenance, production and processing, and various other demanding industrial applications.

Microsites

To minimise the above difficulties precast concrete panels may be used, stitching them together once they have all been installed. Nevertheless, careful detailing will be required to produce a trouble free design. The situation is likely to be more complicated in a tied arch. For example, the elastic stretch of the tie beam during construction needs to be accounted for; this can be achieved by fabricating it short by the appropriate amount. In a 200m span bridge this may amount to some 125mm. However, as it is possible through hanger adjustment to minimise dead load moments, it is not necessary to apply any precamber against dead load moments. Access within an arch can be problematic due to the constantly changing angle, internal stiffeners, and possibly hanger terminations. Options available include step irons, grab rails, high friction walking surface and fall arrest lines. Lower thread pitch means higher thread count because the threads are physically closer together. Thread count refers to the number of crests on a given section of rod and is measured in TPI (threads per inch). Wind loading on the arch is a significant effect and is usually critical for design of the inter arch bracing. Aerodynamic instabilities are unlikely to be a problem due to the inherent stiffness and high natural frequency of the arch. However, for longer spans and when in doubt, wind tunnel tests should be considered.
