I am building a four post cable railing, approximately 20'x20' square. typical design loading is 250 pounds horizontal at any point..
Using a starting cable tension of 50 pounds, how would i determine an accurate corner post loading if the 250 is exerted on the cable? I've set up a test...
yes it is a shade and appearances from below are all important The goal is to blind screw from the top and be able to field assemble. no field welding the support frames will be shop fabricated, then 'roof' panels bolted into place My idea is to tap the panels and then hang them from the...
The bolts are to go through a 4x6x 3/8 wall 6061 tube (17/64 hole) and hang a 1x1x1/8 tube The small tubes have only dead and snow load and are welded to an angle also probably 1/8 The loads are not great. Im trying to get a condition where a bolt pair (3" spacing) will support about 150 lbs...
Thank you all for the feedback. As a result of the sluthing we are looking at welding a 1/8 thick backer plate so as to double the pullout resistance. If we need more the bolt spacing will be tightened up. My understanding is that the finer threads may not work well in the aluminum due to...
I need to determine a safe working load for the tensile strength of this connection and its giving me trouble. Any tips out there? Dave Wallace and then there is the question of torque so as to not damage the aluminum.
