designing a monorail beam to hold a trolley as a tie-off point for fall protection. The users will have retractable lanyards when they tie off. Client wants up to 2 users to be able to tie-off. Does the beam need to be capable of supporting just a single 5,000 lb concentrated load?
L4x4x1/4 x-bracing with 4 kip axial load and 2 kip horizontal load. There is a single 7/8" dia A490 bolt connecting them in the middle. How do you check the design for that bolt?
msquared48's post is right on. My question is not to bring up an argument of how the licensing process is flawed but rather the simple question of which of the 50 states has the most trouble with comity to the other 49 states?
the loads are gravity only and not hanging, holes in the base plates are 13/16" diameter so a 3/4" diameter anchor would seem appropriate except that Hilti has a minimum base material thickness listed in their catalog. With the 1-1/2" metal deck the minimum floor slab thickness would be 4-1/2"...
Looking at anchoring a piece of equipment that weighs 6,000 lbs and has 8 support legs with 1/4" thick base plates. What type of Hilti anchor is best for use on a 6" elevated concrete slab supported by 1-1/2" metal deck?
