Construction advice please: RSJ's
-
Hi Guys - help please! Found myself out-of-my-depth (AGAIN!!) I need to draw up a steel frame for a platform. It will be constructed from 254mm x 146mm section RSJ's, supported on 100mm square section steel uprights. What is the (non-permanent) standard way of connecting RSJ's to form corner- and T-joints?? This is a temporary structure which needs to be built and de-rigged quickly, so I'm assuming some type of bolt fixing? Does anyone have a picture/sketch of the right way to do this??
As ever, all help gratefully received
A.

Hi Andy
Using a 10mm end plate and 10mm toe plate is a very easy and fairly standard way to go. Use M20 Grade 8.8 bolts as shown at 70mm or 90mm spacing. Otherwise use 90x90x10 RSA or similar angle (RSA = Rolled steel angle).
Hope that helps you out
Kind regards
Rob
