Wall Brackets Capacity

[Dylanuk22]

Hi,

I am currently working on a new design sheet for catenary wire tension forces on posts. I have completed that section and now working on designing of the wall plates and post plates to fit the catenary wires. has anyone got any help or guidance on working out the stress forces on plates and their capacity.

I have completed an initial stress test sheet, but that is on the assumption that the plates aren`t close the the edge.

I have attached the spreadsheet and also the 3 types of catenary mounting designs that will be used.

Any help will be appreciated

You could do hand calcs with Roark's flat plate formulas + tables. You can download them for free from lots of places.

Another option would be to download the free 30 day trial of IESWeb's Visual Plate FEA software. (It's super easy to use)

You will probably have to resolve your catenary force into X and Y components, but other than that the software will do all he hard work.

Here's the IES Web Software:

Another Idea is to Download Hilti's Profis software. They give you 30 day's free access to the FEA modelling of plates too.
