FAÇADE RETENTIONMKII Soldier
With the galvanised steel MKII Soldier it is possible to make-up three-dimensional structural frames for use as facade-retaining shores or heavy duty dead shores. For this purpose a Multiway Connector and special braces have been developed. The Multiway Connector is a special node point in the frame structure, on to which a maximum of 8 Soldiers can be connected.
A special push/pull bracket has been developed to enable intermediate bracing with Soldiers to be used at any arbitrary point on the Soldier.
Benefits
- Modular facade-retention solution
- Site-specific framed structure designs
- Heavy duty shoring up to 500 kN/leg
- Economical bracing solutions
The MKII Soldier, when used as a compression member, has different loading characteristics about its two main axes of inertia due to its asymmetric shape. The arrangement of the shore when erected may also dictate the method of bracing to obtain the required capacity.
Special details have been developed for use in facade-retention applications for connecting the frame to the facade. Heavy leg loads of up to 500 kN can be supported by the Multiway Connector by doubling up the vertical Soldier. A special wedge jack component is available if the structure has to be struck under load. These jacks have a limited height adjustment range of 100mm.
