For simple propping where no bracing is required between the props, tubular prop extensions can be used instead of Mk3 Soldiers.Note: Tubular extensions and Mk3 Soldiers should not be combined in any single prop.

For general use, a Factor of Safety 2 is recommended. However, for controlled situations where the loading is predictable, a Factor of Safety 1.7 may be used.

The safe working loads shown in the table are for props used either vertically or horizontally. In horizontal applications, the props should always be used with the strong axis vertical.

Mabey Tubular Props are an alternative to Mk3 Soldiers for any of the applications shown. Tubular Props and Soldiers should not be combined in any single prop.

For props, a recommended straightness tolerance is given below, indicated by Max Offset Dim (in.). Should the prop fall outside the range shown, the components should be checked for local damage to end plates.

All bolted components require S3/22 bolts. 6 number when connecting Mk3 prop to Mk3 prop. Use 4 bolts when attaching an S3/9 or S3/10 foot.

Intermediate lengths may be obtained by adding 1 or 2 1.18’ Units (S3/1-360 or S3/24), or in some cases screw jacks can be fixed at each end.

Allowance to be made for ellastic shortening of Push Pull Prop = .00027 in/kip/ft.

A kit assembly reference is given to assist in ordering the props. The kit includes all parts and bolts necessary depending upon the manner in which the prop is used. The kit assembly reference number must be followed by the A, B, or C suffix, i.e., a Type 9 Prop to support Mk2 Soildiers would be called off as S3/KP/9C.

Notes:1. If the S3/10 required in the vertical prop is to make a connection with

another soldier (as shown in the sketch above right), then add 2 x S3/05 Web Connectors and 2 x S3/21 Bolts.

2. Alternative soldier combinations may be used for the same height ranges if 3600 or 4500 soldiers are too big to handle.

3. Depending on the working range required, the use of S3/1-540 soldiers may be preferable.

4. It is important to avoid eccentric loading in the props. The S3/9 Base Units and the S3/10 and S3/10A Head Units are pinned about one axis only, so only crossfalls perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pin are acceptable. 6

Notes1. If the S3/9 Adustable Base Units are required to connect to

soldiers as header and spreader beams, then add 2 x S3/05 Web Connectors per connection.



4. It is important to avoid eccentric loading in the props. The S3/9 End Units are pinned about one axis only, so only crossfalls perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pin are acceptable.

System 160 Bracing of ShoresEssential Requirements

Careful consideration should ALWAYS be given to bracing which may be required for the reasons given below. A combination of standard scaffold fittings are normally used for bracing. See page 4 for typical connection details.

a) Stability of Propping During Installation If the structure requiring propping can provide adequate lateral stability once the props are in position and fixed top and bottom, then the props only need to be braced to ensure stability during installation.

In these cases, the bracing needs to be design for the lateral loadings to be expected during installation (e.g., wind).

Bracing of Shores - Essential RequirementsCareful consideration should ALWAYS be given to bracing which may be required for the reasons given below. A combination of standard scaffold tube and various scaffold fittings are normally used for bracing. See page 4 for typical connection details.

a) Stability of Propping During Installation

If the structure requiring propping can provide adequate lateral stability once the props are in position and fixed top and bottom, then the props may only need to be braced to ensure stability during installation.

In these cases, the bracing needs to be designed for the lateral loadings to be expected during installation (e.g. wind).

Structure being propped provides lateral stability

Props braced during installation Bracing removed AFTER fixings installed at top and base

Provided the props are subsequently released and removed one at a time, it may not be necessary to brace the props during dismantling.

b) Stability of a Propping System Which Needs to Provide Lateral Stability as Well as Support Vertical Loading

If the propping system is required to support vertical load AND provide lateral stability, then bracing will always be required.

In these cases, the bracing system needs to be designed to carry a minimum of 2.5% of the vertical load on each prop, or the actual horizontal forces applied if these are greater (e.g. wind, non-verticality of legs, etc.).

The Connector Plate N-001 fits on top of a vertical Mk3 Soldier, providing a connection to the horizontal Needle Beam, as shown. The Connector Plate is free to move through 360˚, allowing the needle to be located at any position on top of the soldier. The Washer N-002 does not clamp tight, but holds the Connector Plate captive to the soldier end plate.

The Tilting Head S3/53 (which provides 5˚ max tilt) fits on top of a vertical Mk3 Soldier, providing a connection to a horizontal Mk3 Soldier Header Beam. The Needle Beam is then positioned on top of the Header Beam at 90˚ to it. The Tilting Head provides fine vertical adjustment, and the use of this arrangement allows the vertical props to be spaced at greater centers than the Needle Beams.

The graphs extend to the point where one of the following limits is reached:

a) The central point load reaches its maximum safe value. orb) The deflection reaches 0.12”. orc) The central point load reaches 45 kips.

Under controlled design conditions, eg with props of a higher capacity, it may be possible to work above these limits.

Please contact Mabey Bridge & Shore’s Engineers for assistance.
