Application
This Technical Data Sheet is designed to provide information of sufficient content and detail as to enable engineers, competent in structural analysis & structural steelwork design to safely design structures incorporating the Superprop system.
Design Codes
Superprop is primarily used for temporary heavy jacking and shoring applications, where its strength and adaptability make it suitable for most schemes. As such it has been designed to the following codes.
BS5975: 2008 – The Code of Practice for Temporary Works Procedures and the Permissible Stress Design of Falsework
BS449: 1969 - The Structural Use of Steel in Building (as referenced in BS5975)
Eurocodes
The equipment is currently being assessed to Eurocodes. Strengths relating to these codes will be published in a future revision to this document. Please refer to Mabey Hire engineering team for the latest information.
Safe Working Loads
The safe working loads for members & joints given in the Technical Data Sheet are generally based on theoretical values calculated in accordance with BS5975 & BS449 as well as the component capacities that have been derived from full scale tests. Where full scale tests have been carried out a minimum factor of safety of 1.7 against the onset of permanent deformation has been established.

3.1 General The safe working load of the prop is dependent on:-
a) Vertical load b) Eccentricity of the load c) Extension of the adjustable screw d) Horizontal loading e) Free standing height f) Effective length of the prop between bracing levels g) Self-weight effects if horizontal or raking
3.2 Adjustable Ends - Capacities 3.2.1 Effective lengths of Adjustable Ends
The Effective Length of the Adjustable Screw in various loading cases is demonstrated in the diagrams below. For purposes of design it has been assumed that the screw assembly is pinned at both the point of application of the horizontal load (indicated by ‘H’) and at the top of the screw collar. Thus, in accordance with BS5975 and BS449 the effective length of the screw assembly (Le) equals the actual distance (L) between these assumed pin positions. The lengths should therefore be applied when using the graphs Charts A and B. Note that in the graphs the horizontal load (H) is given as a percentage of the vertical load in the prop (V):-
Note:
In all three cases shown here it is assumed that the Header Beams are clamped to the Prop using the Beam Clamp (SP018)

3.2.2 Adjustable Ends – Working Load Capacities
Props in Tension:
Superprop screws are primarily used in compression but may be used in tension with the addition of an optional nut (SP005) fitted on the screw below the 50mm plate on the SPA001 Adjustable Head Assembly. The tension capacity of the screw is limited by the connecting pin between the SP003 screw and the SP011 screw head plate or the connection of the Screw Head Plate to the Header Beams or the structure. The Maximum Tension Capacity of the SPA001 Screw Head Assembly fitted with the optional tension nut is 650kN
Props in Compression:
The capacities of the Adjustable Head Assembly are shown in the charts below for varying effective lengths and for eccentricities of 10mm or 25mm:

Designers should be aware of ensuring that eccentricities of loads on the system are kept to a minimum, within these tables. The capacity of the propping system will be greatly reduced if, for example, when using twin header beams the load is diverted down only one of the webs of the beams in which case an appropriate eccentricity should be calculated.

3.4 Braced Props
Superprops may be assembled and braced in various ways in order to produce the required pattern of supports. The effective lengths of normal arrangements are shown in the diagrams below. These effective lengths may be used to determine the load carrying capacity of the individual props by reference to the charts for braced props (see Charts E and F). Also there is a maximum effective length that must not be exceeded under a particular horizontal load before the bracing frame (3048mm panel or 1425mm panel) connection to the prop body becomes overloaded (see Chart D). Use the following diagrams to assist in calculating the effective lengths of the various sections of the prop assembly:
The diagrams of bracing arrangements shown show the effective lengths at the base with a prop base fitted (SP 005), but do not include the effective lengths of the adjustable ends, for these values reference should be made to the above diagram and the guidance in section 3.2.
3.0 Capacities
The type of base extension will have an effect on the effective length of this section of prop as indicated here by the use of the SP030 or SP031.

4.1 Raking Prop
With the standard Swivel Head (SPA001) and Base unit (SPA007) the Superprop can easily be adapted to raking applications. Design Considerations:
a) The standard adjustable prop head (SPA001) is only able to accept tilts of up to 10 degrees; if the angle between the
prop and the waler is greater than 10 degrees then a special swivel head would be required. As the connection of this special swivel head plate and the screw is only through the connecting pin then the capacity of the prop in compression would be limited to 650kN.
b) For inclined props it will be necessary to check the axial capacity of the prop taking into consideration the eccentricity of the axial load due to self-weight bending of the prop itself PLUS an allowance for pin hole tolerance deflection (see below).
c) In order to limit the self-weight and pin hole tolerance deflection of the prop it is possible to add bracing panels or bracing chords to one side of the prop.
d) Preloading of the prop from within the adjustable head is only possible if the SP011 screw head plate is fitted and it is orientated at 90 degrees to the axis of the prop.
Pin Hole Tolerance Deflection:
Pin hole tolerance will depend on the number of sections of props that are pinned together and the angle of the prop to the vertical. Unless the prop is near vertical it is safe to assume that this deflection will occur at the maximum value. The figures in the table above give an indication of the magnitude of the deflection that should be considered when calculating the raking prop safe working load.

7.0 Assembly Details
Note: When using a SP081 or a SP080 / SP070 to connect parallel Props together you MUST consider that the props
will be acting as freestanding props with no extra capacity due to the bracing effect. Only where there are no horizontal loads on the prop system may the Shear Pin Connector SP081 be used.

Design Assumptions:
The tables and charts within these data sheets use working stress design and unfactored loads or are based on tested
components. The use of BS5975 (Code of Practice for Falsework) is relevant which, in turn, uses the working stress principles
of BS449 (The Use of Structural Steelwork in Buildings).
Propping Layout:
1. Using the scheme information decide on the rough layout of the propping system. When supporting a concrete bridge
deck it is usually possible to decide on the location of the props but not the spacing whereas when supporting steel or
concrete beams the layout of props may be more prescriptive.
2. Using the clients data calculate the dead and live loads on the prop system, taking care with pattern loading from
traffic loads (if present) on continuous spans.
3. Arrange prop spacing as necessary to optimise the loading in the props using standard bracing. Ideally the prop loads
should be similar to assist jacking.
4. Ensure that the prop screw head plate pivot pins are orientated perpendicular to the line of the header beams.
Header Beams:
1. Check the loading to the header beams and calculate the bending moments and shears at the full section and splices
in the beams. Compare the moments and shears with the data in capacity tables in section 3.
2. If the header beams are overstressed then reduce the prop spacing and recalculate.
Prop Screw:
1. Check the screw effective lengths. The effective length depends on the orientation of the head plate pivot pin, the
actual or assumed eccentricity of the load, the expected or assumed horizontal loading at the top of the screw and the
distance to the assumed pin joint at the top of the screw (see section 3.2).
2. It is usual to apply a nominal eccentricity to the vertical load of either 10mm or 25mm which will depend on the
arrangement of the equipment above the prop. If clamped header beams are used then 10mm eccentricity would be
usual but with loose jacks or packs, then a 25mm eccentricity may be more appropriate.
3. The horizontal loading on the props should be limited to a nominal value, usually 2.5%. Any large external horizontal
loads such as skidding loads on the deck should be taken down to the ground using a separate raking member. In
which case the nominal horizontal load may be reduced to 1%.
4. Using charts A or B in section 3.2 of these sheets check the allowable maximum extension.
5. If the actual screw extension is greater than the allowable then the prop make up should be amended in order to
reduce the screw extension.
Braced Structure:
1. Bracing frames may be either Acrow 300 series panels or special bracing frames. All these bracing panels attach to
the prop bodies at chord bolt positions, each AB001 panel using 4 chord bolts on each side. It is the capacity of these
chord bolt connections that are the limiting feature of the bracing system.
2. The effective lengths of the props are measured from the centres of a pair of chord bolts to various locations on the
props. Various arrangements of Acrow Panels used as bracing frames are shown in these data sheets on section 3.4.
Using these diagrams note the effective lengths at various positions on the prop.
3. The effective length at the adjustable head must be calculated separately (see section 3.4).
4. Using the maximum effective length calculated from either the adjustable head or prop body, the safe working load of
the prop may be checked from the charts on section 3.4.1 for various eccentricities and horizontal loads.
5. If the capacity of the prop is not sufficient then a reduction in the effective lengths should be carried out, either by
adding bracing panels or reducing the screw extension.
