Thank you all for your input!
The reason I have considered the distributed capacity of the hanger system is simply because I have considered that every two hangers each would provide half of their capacity to 1.5m, hence, per linear meter, this system has a capacity of 12.37kN/m or 24.75kN/m...
First of all, thanks dhengr.
ALl you have pointed out are part of my concerns and I've made it clear to my client that it is not sth they would like messing around with. Since it is a 10 years old facility, where many other things have been implemented (e.g. ducts, pipes, etc.) having...

Said that, the client only wishes to determine...
Hi all,
Ive got the following situation:
A 4.3m threaded rod is anchored to a composite concrete slab and this is divided into two sections of 2.15m connected by a M10 coupler. Assumming this rod is of Grade 8.8 and is also M10, how should I proceed to calculate its capacity? Would I have to...
Hi all,
Thank you for your replies. I really did not notice this thread was in the Mechanical Eng section.
Also, I did not mention either that this is to be used in a system of hangers. So, every 1.5m there will be a hanger and this will go 'round' a square. Hence, I am just looking to know...
Hi @desertfox,

Be good
