Allowable axial compressive loads are given for loads eccentric at both ends 10mm ( 3/8), 25mm

Appropriate eccentricities for various arrangements in conjunction with Megashor are given
below.

Where different load eccentricities are present at either end use the maximum eccentricity.
Where Megashor sections are bolted directly to a header beam without rocking
heads a frame analysis shall be carried out and the Megashor section checked in combined
compression and bending.
Where M is the applied bending moment, Mmax is the maximum allowable bending moment.
P is the applied axial compressive load and Pmax is the maximum allowable axial load at a
particular effective length.

2.0 Applications:
Megashor is a versatile system with a wide range of applications. The following are some of the
many possible arrangements, when used vertically and horizontally.
Designs are carried out using the recommendations of AASHTO Construction Handbook for
Bridge Temporary Works, AASHTO Guide Design Specifications for Bridge Temporary Works,
ACI Committee 347 - Formwork for Concrete Recommendations and the allowable stress design
of the falsework.
For further assistance on any Megashor application please contact our Technical Office.

Allowable loads and moments are approximate. Carry out frame analysis to check capacity of all
individual members and joints.
Experience has shown that at least 20% of the structural capacity of the truss members is used
up by local rather than global bending effects. This will be much increased if bearing loads are
present on truss chords or if loads are not supported at node points.
* The end reactions given are derived from the SWL of the end diagonal. If an end prop is used
as shown in 1.5.21 the values of A and B can be increased provided the load in the end diagonal
is checked.

MEG ASH OR
H E A V Y D U T Y S U P P O R T S Y S T E M
3.1. Megashor
1. Ensure Megashor shafts bolted end to end are orientated so the webs of all sections are
parallel.
2. Megashor screw jacks may be unloaded manually by striking the spindle lugs. For release
of loads over 110 kips Jacks should be fully dismantled before use. Coat all four-thread
surfaces with Molyslip OGL lubricant (or equivalent) and reassemble.
3. Crossed tension braces bolted to Megashor shafts should be used in pairs in both direc-
tions. One of each pair attached to each side of the Megashor section.
4. Ensure Megashor rocking heads are attached such that the tapped holes are bolted to the
Megashor section.
5. If, subsequent to assembly, gaps are present between end plates, fill with low viscosity
cementitous grout.
6. The customer is to ensure that the loads applied to the end plates of Megashor shafts or
accessories by hydraulic jacks or otherwise are suitably spread and placed to avoid local
over-stress of the section.
7. Some components weigh over 50 lb. Plan lifts in accordance with best practice and locally
applicable regulations.
3.2. Megatruss
1. Notes for assembly of Megashor equally apply to Megatruss.
2. Ensure all fasteners at a joint are located hand tight prior to fully tightening any at that joint.
3. Position all elements and fasteners to each section of the truss hand tight prior to fully tight-
ening.
4. Torque all fasteners that join Megashor legs end to end, end to Megatruss Nodes or Mega-
truss End Bearers to 225 lb*ft.
5. Support trusses by the bottom chord batten plates during assembly. Provide adequate
temporary lateral restraints. Avoid bearing loads to the bottom chord batten plates in excess
of 33 kips.
6. Ensure trusses are braced as shown to restrain compression chords and resist lateral loads
7. Ensure trusses are lifted in a safe manner, refer to RMD Kwikform Technical Office. Lift
girder from the node points at or near third points on span. Maximum length of single girder
for lifting is 42 ft. Preferably, and in any case for longer spans, girders should be braced to-
gether and lifted in pairs.
