Assumptions made :
1) The benevolent effects of splay (knee strut) is not taken into account.
2) Recommended as per CIRIA Special Publication 95 and CIRIA C517,
a) Allow for eccentricity of axial load due to connection is taken to be approximately
10% of overall dimension of strut in the vertical plane.
b) Accidental loading is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The accidental loading is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = 50 kN in any direction.
c) Thermal load due to the temperature effects is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The temperature difference is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = +/- 10 Degrees Celsius.

Assumptions made :
1) The benevolent effects of splay (knee strut) is not taken into account.
2) Recommended as per CIRIA Special Publication 95 and CIRIA C517,
a) Allow for eccentricity of axial load due to connection is taken to be approximately
10% of overall dimension of strut in the vertical plane.
b) Accidental loading is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The accidental loading is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = 50 kN in any direction.
c) Thermal load due to the temperature effects is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The temperature difference is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = +/- 10 Degrees Celsius.

Assumptions made :
1) The benevolent effects of splay (knee strut) is not taken into account.
2) Recommended as per CIRIA Special Publication 95 and CIRIA C517,
a) Allow for eccentricity of axial load due to connection is taken to be approximately
10% of overall dimension of strut in the vertical plane.
b) Accidental loading is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The accidental loading is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = 50 kN in any direction.
c) Thermal load due to the temperature effects is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The temperature difference is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = +/- 10 Degrees Celsius.

2) Recommended as per CIRIA Special Publication 95 and CIRIA C517,
a) Allow for eccentricity of axial load due to connection is taken to be approximately
10% of overall dimension of strut in the vertical plane.
b) Accidental loading is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The accidental loading is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = 50 kN in any direction.
c) Thermal load due to the temperature effects is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The temperature difference is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = +/- 10 Degrees Celsius.

DESIGN OF SINGLE AND COMPOUND STRUTS WITH ROLLED STEEL SECTION IN ACCORDANCE TO BS5950 : PART 1 : 2000

Version 6.0 updated on 24-05-2011

TITLE OF PROJECT : KLANG VALLEY MRT PROJECT (SBK LINE) - MERDEKA STATION
DESIGN SECTION : STRUCTURAL CAPACITY OF TWIN LACED STRUT OF STEEL S355 (Grade 50B)
SECTION REF. : STRUT CAPACITY

Soil Load
Direction

Assumptions made :
1) The benevolent effects of splay (knee strut) is not taken into account.
2) Recommended as per CIRIA Special Publication 95 and CIRIA C517,
a) Allow for eccentricity of axial load due to connection is taken to be approximately
10% of overall dimension of strut in the vertical plane.
b) Accidental loading is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The accidental loading is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = 50 kN in any direction.
c) Thermal load due to the temperature effects is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The temperature difference is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = +/- 10 Degrees Celsius.

2) Recommended as per CIRIA Special Publication 95 and CIRIA C517,
a) Allow for eccentricity of axial load due to connection is taken to be approximately
10% of overall dimension of strut in the vertical plane.
b) Accidental loading is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The accidental loading is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = 50 kN in any direction.
c) Thermal load due to the temperature effects is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The temperature difference is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = +/- 10 Degrees Celsius.

DESIGN OF SINGLE AND COMPOUND STRUTS WITH ROLLED STEEL SECTION IN ACCORDANCE TO BS5950 : PART 1 : 2000

Version 6.0 updated on 24-05-2011

TITLE OF PROJECT : KLANG VALLEY MRT PROJECT (SBK LINE) - MERDEKA STATION
DESIGN SECTION : STRUCTURAL CAPACITY OF TWIN LACED STRUT OF STEEL S355 (Grade 50B)
SECTION REF. : STRUT CAPACITY

Soil Load
Direction

Assumptions made :
1) The benevolent effects of splay (knee strut) is not taken into account.
2) Recommended as per CIRIA Special Publication 95 and CIRIA C517,
a) Allow for eccentricity of axial load due to connection is taken to be approximately
10% of overall dimension of strut in the vertical plane.
b) Accidental loading is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The accidental loading is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = 50 kN in any direction.
c) Thermal load due to the temperature effects is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The temperature difference is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = +/- 10 Degrees Celsius.

Assumptions made :
1) The benevolent effects of splay (knee strut) is not taken into account.
2) Recommended as per CIRIA Special Publication 95 and CIRIA C517,
a) Allow for eccentricity of axial load due to connection is taken to be approximately
10% of overall dimension of strut in the vertical plane.
b) Accidental loading is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The accidental loading is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = 50 kN in any direction.
c) Thermal load due to the temperature effects is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The temperature difference is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = +/- 10 Degrees Celsius.

DESIGN OF SINGLE AND COMPOUND STRUTS WITH ROLLED STEEL SECTION IN ACCORDANCE TO BS5950 : PART 1 : 2000

Version 6.0 updated on 24-05-2011

TITLE OF PROJECT : KLANG VALLEY MRT PROJECT (SBK LINE) - MERDEKA STATION
DESIGN SECTION : STRUCTURAL CAPACITY OF TWIN LACED STRUT OF STEEL S355 (Grade 50B)
SECTION REF. : DIAGONAL STRUT CAPACITY

Soil Load
Direction

Assumptions made :
1) The benevolent effects of splay (knee strut) is not taken into account.
2) Recommended as per CIRIA Special Publication 95 and CIRIA C517,
a) Allow for eccentricity of axial load due to connection is taken to be approximately
10% of overall dimension of strut in the vertical plane.
b) Accidental loading is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The accidental loading is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = 50 kN in any direction.
c) Thermal load due to the temperature effects is considered in the design of proposed temporary strutting system.
=> The temperature difference is assumed as per DC/16/12 Section 16.10 = +/- 10 Degrees Celsius.
