2 Lindapter - Technical Innovation in Steelwork Connections 2

3 For more than 75 years, Lindapter has earned a respected reputation as the inventor and pioneer of steelwork clamping systems, providing an independently approved and exclusive product range of steelwork, cavity, decking, support and steel floor fixings. Founder Henry Lindsay Lindapter s unique connections create significant advantages in comparison to traditional methods such as welding or drilling, including the reduction of installation time and labour costs, on-site adjustability and no damage to steel sections or protective coatings. The company s proud heritage began in 1934 when Engineer Henry Lindsay invented an entirely new concept of connecting steelwork with the Lindsay Bolt Adapter, allowing simple, fast clamping, instead of often difficult and time consuming drilling or welding. The idea was to revolutionise millions of future connections on countless projects worldwide and the combination of the two words Lindsay and Adapter explains the formation of the now famous brand name. Original 1930s logo Today, Engineers across the world choose Lindapter for projects as varied as Target Field Ballpark, London Tower Bridge, Dubai Shopping Mall and Gautrain Rapid Rail Link. Whether joining primary structural sections, securing secondary beams or suspending building services, Lindapter has a proven and trusted solution. Lindapter has passionately grown over 75 years from a modest family business, into a reputable global brand and strives to continue its proud heritage; inventing Technical Innovation in Steelwork Connections.

9 Steelwork Fixings 1 Steelwork Fixings Lindapter Steelwork Fixings require no on-site drilling or welding, saving both time and money and are compatible with virtually any size/shape of steel section, in a wide variety of applications. The Girder Clamp symbolises Lindapter s concept perfectly; boldly challenging the need to drill or weld, when a safe, high strength connection can be quickly accomplished by clamping two steel sections together. Although the concept is simple, Lindapter products undergo complex design and testing as the experienced Research & Development team constantly refine, improve and invent to achieve greater product performance and safety approvals. The connections shown throughout this catalogue are actual applications from real project successes, both new construction and the refurbishment of existing structures. Advantages Less design time (Lindapter will design the connection) Independently approved loads and quality standards No on-site drilling or welding Fast and safe construction Hot Working not required Adjustable on-site Less work at height Only hand tools required to install Power not required Ability to deconstruct and multi-cycle Markets include: Plant Engineering Chemical and Petro-chemical Material Handling Structural Engineering Civil Engineering Facades Theatre Equipment Transportation Offshore Applications include: Steel Construction Cranes Lifting Beams Pipe Supports Towers and Masts Almost any steel-to-steel connection 9

10 Girder Clamps Steelwork Fixings 1 Components of a Girder Clamp 1. Standard Grade 8 Hex Nut 2. Standard Hardened Washer 3. Lindapter Clamp Dependent on the application different clamps could be used i.e. Types A, B, BR, AF, LR, LS, D2 or D3. 4. Packing Piece In combination with the clamps mentioned above these parts increase the tail length to enable the product to sit correctly on the beam. 5. Location Plate (can be supplied if required) This is an essential part of the girder clamp assembly that enables all the components to be located in the correct position. The hole centres and plate thickness are calculated to suit the individual application. 6. Lindapter Clamp This can be of a similar type as 3 (above), although certain products are designed to specifically work together i.e. A + B. 7. Standard Grade 8.8 Hex Bolt or Setscrew Loads The table beneath shows tensile and frictional load capabilities for a standard four bolt Girder Clamp using 4 bolts and 8 clamps at a 90 crossover angle. Lindapter is only too pleased to carry out all design work for individual connections free of charge based on the following details: Load per connection Size and type of both beams Angle of crossover Distance between beams Inclination of beams 6 7 Clamps Types A, B, BR, LR Type AF Bolt size M12 M16 M20 M24 M24 M24 Bolt grade Tensile / for 4 bolts kn ) Friction / for 4 bolts kn ) ) Tightening Torque Nm ) Factor of safety 3.2:1 2) Factor of safety 2:1 Loads are based on a factor of safety (typically 5:1). The reduction of published safety factors is not recommended. Approvals The following approvals apply to Girder Clamps using types A and B only, in sizes from M12 to M24.

11 Bolt Length / Tail Length / Installation Steelwork Fixings 1 Bolt length calculation for a standard Lindapter Girder Clamp, example shows Type A and B M20 Tail length The different tail length can be identified by a code of dimples underneath the clamps. To calculate the bolt length all parts the bolt will go through have to be added up. The next longer standard bolt length should be used. 0.5 bolt Ø as bolt protrusion 10 One dimple: tail length short (s) Height of nut 16 + Washer 3 + T of top clamp + Top section Two dimples: tail length medium (m) + Plate thickness 12 + Lower section 10 + T of lower clamp 10 Three dimples: tail length long (l ) = 93.5 Next standard bolt length = Correct installation of types A and B showing type A as an example Parallel flanges 90º <90º >90º Maximum tail length tolerance of -1mm (up to M16) and -1.5mm (M20, M24) before applying the torque is acceptable. Tapered flanges 90º <_5º 5-8º <90º On 6º and 8º slopes types A and B require a special tail length/packing combination which will allow the clamp to tilt back slightly (incorporated into the combination table on page 15). For applications above 8 please see types AF, LR and LS. 11

34 Loads and Specifications Steelwork Fixings 1 Loads and Specifications Lindapter steel connections are designed to suit the loading condition of each application, as defined below. Safe working loads published in this catalogue are for bolt grade 8.8 unless otherwise stated. Should you require assistance in selecting the correct product for your needs, please contact Lindapter. Tensile Loading In tensile applications the load transmits a force parallel to the centre line of the bolt shank, hence applying a load to the contact point of the Lindapter. See product data tables for allowable tensile loads at varying bolt sizes. Combined Loads When the fixings are subject to more than one load condition, the resulting forces must be calculated to determine the product and bolt sizes required. Please contact Lindapter with your application. Frictional Loading The force is applied at 90 to the bolt shank. The point at which slip occurs depends upon the condition and finish of the steelwork, the coating of the Lindapter and the grade of bolt used. Slip is defined as the constant load at which relative movement between clamped components exceeds 0.1mm. Compression Loading Force here is applied direct to the supporting section rather than the Lindapter products. If, however, there is a gap between the surfaces being connected, the buckling strength of the supporting fabrication must be considered. Shear Loading The Safe Working Load of the assembly is determined by the bolt grade and diameter as the force is resisted by the cross sectional area of the bolt shanks. It is recommended that reference be made to the bolt manufacturers technical literature or the relevant structural steel design code to ascertain a Safe Working Load per bolt. Torque The recommended torque values stated in the product sections must be applied in order to achieve the stated Safe Working Loads. Any reduction in torques applied will lower the product Safe Working Load and is not recommended. 34

40 Cavity Fixings 2 Cavity Fixings The Hollo-Bolt and Lindibolt eliminate the need for conventional through-bolting or welding of structural hollow section (SHS) or any steel structure where access is only available from one side. In the late 1940s, Lindapter revolutionised blind connections with the development of the original Lindibolt, for situations where access to both sides of the steel was restricted. Following the introduction and wide acceptance of SHS, the Hollo-Bolt was invented to suit virtually any type of hollow section, including square, rectangular, circular and oval profiles. As with all Lindapter products, the R&D department has continued to develop the range with the rapid expansion in diameters, lengths, finishes, and head types. Following comprehensive testing, The Steel Construction Institute (SCI) and British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA) recognise the Hollo-Bolt as a primary structural connection, in the design guide Joints in Steel Construction Simple Connections. The Hollo-Bolt has CE Mark Certification, and is also approved by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik and TÜV NORD. Both the Lindibolt and Hollo-Bolt enable fast and safe construction and can be swiftly installed by simply inserting the product into pre-drilled holes, then tightening to the recommended torque using hand tools. Typical Hollo-Bolt applications include: Primary Connections Secondary Connections Bridges Cladding Balconies Towers and masts Staircases and handrails Glazing and roofs 40

Hollo-Bolt lengths 1, 2 and 3 are covered by this ETA-10/0416. The characteristic values are used to determine the design resistance of the Hollo-Bolt. The design resistance is calculated by dividing the characteristic value by a partial factor gm2. The partial factor is a nationally determined parameter (gm2 =1.25 in the UK). For standard Hollo-Bolt safe working loads with a factor of safety of 5:1 please refer to the Hollo-Bolt tables on pages 42 an 43. The characteristic values are valid for the Hollo-Bolt assembly itself, in any connection detail the design resistance of the connection may be limited to a lesser value. For example, when the thickness of the connected component is small, pull out failure may occur before failure of the Hollo-Bolt. Design checks should be carried out on the section member to determine the static design resistance. The SCI Greenbook publication P358 Joints in Steel construction, Simple Joints to Eurocode 3 contains a number of checks on the section. The characteristic values are only valid when the Hollo-Bolts are installed as per our installation instructions.

75 Projects Appendix 6 The Type AF was specified to secure the steel framework of a new roof to the existing structure of the grade 1 listed William Barlow shed at St Pancras Station. In the most crucial part of the refurbishment, Lindapter s high strength clamps avoided drilling or welding, therefore removing the risk of damaging the historic Victorian arches. In this structural steelwork application, the Hollo-Bolt Flush Fit allowed the glass roof and frontage of the Germanischer Lloyd headquarters to be constructed without the fixings being visible, ensuring the construction remained true to GMP s competition winning architectural design. The Type AW Alphawedge, like most Lindapter Composite Decking Fixings, attaches to the dovetail shaped re-entrant channel of steel decking profiles. In this project, pipework, ventilation and lighting systems were suspended from structural steel. Lindapter has a range of fixings compatible with all major decking manufacturers including CMF, Tata Steel, Kingspan, SMD and Richard Lees. Lindapter Support Fixings are often specified for securing pipework due to the ease of installation and high adjustability. In this case, the Type F3 was used to connect a 100mm pipe, carrying fibre optic cable for high-speed internet. No drilling, welding or power was required, simplifying the installation across the 450m span of the iconic Manhattan Bridge. The Type FF - Floorfast contributed to the fast installation of the chequer plate flooring, used to construct maintenance walkways alongside the track of the Docklands Light Railway. Another advantage Lindapter brought to this project is that the fixings are removable, allowing easy maintenance access to signaling and power cables running below the floor plate. 75
