2 TABLE : PERFORMANCE CRITERIA BASED ON SPAN LENGTH To determine load capacities and corresponding deflections based on span lengths, use this chart L SPAN (cm) L (Span between Supports) = cm E (Modulus of Elasticity) = 20.69x0 6 N/cm 2 I (Moment of Inertia) = 32.84cm 4 P P D P ULF USF Point Yield Point (kg) Yield Point (cm) Point Various Deflections (kg) SPAN /80 SPAN/240 SPAN/360 Uniform Load (kg/m) D (Deflection) = 9.8xPL 3 /48EI ULF (Uniform Load/m) = P/(L/00x2) USF (Uniform Load/m 2 ) = P/(L/00) 2 TABLE 2: PERFORMANCE CRITERIA BASED ON SLOT CONNECTION Uniform Load (kg/m 2 ) imum point load locations are to be no less than the length of the strut span in any given direction 2. imum point loads are limited by the turnbuckle connections to strut. s are required to be within 2 of a Main Runner Splice Hanging Method Connection to Top Slot Connection to Bottom Slot Min. Design Load (kg) 590 kg 795 kg Min. Ultimate Load (kg) 375 kg 590 kg 2 of 9

3 DETERMINING GRID SPACING AND TILE SIZING: EXAMPLE Grid Spacing - Length Grid Spacing - Width Grid Spacing - Width W W W W Grid Spacing - Width W W If you want the Strut Spacing to be on a 2400mm x 2400mm module size, use this table to determine tile size requirement: Grid Profile Grid Spacing (W x L) (W x L) Tate Strut 2400mm x 2400mm 579mm x 70mm +/- 4mm If you want the Strut Spacing to be on a larger module size to fit standard 600mm x 200mm nominal tile sizes, use this table: Grid Profile Grid Spacing (W x L) (W x L) Tate Strut 2458mm x 2446mm 593mm x 93mm +/- 4mm 3 of 9

5 U-SHAPED & INTERNAL SPLICE SUPPORT CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY U-Shaped Connection Hex Nut Internal Splice Support Connector Channel Nut Straight Connector with Assembly must be placed a imum Distance of 300mm from U-Shaped Connector Internal Splice Support Connector imum Distance of 300mm Internal Splice Support Connectors must be installed inside the bottom of a Main Runner Splice 5 of 9

6 FIELD CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY Light Structural Main Runners notched to positively position connectors on center every time Light Structural Infill coped for simplified installation and stronger connections Ribs on connector to align with grid and prevent racking LIGHT STRUCTURAL INFILL Coped Light Structural Infill connection via L-Angle Connector and pre-drilled Main Runner for simple assembly Light Structural Infill with Field Connectors and Connection. 6 of 9

7 Repeating infill pattern between struts as per project specification. PERIMETER ANGLE Main Runners and Structural Tees are utilized when installing with a floating detail in conjunction with Perimeter Angles. Perimeter Angles can be cut on site to desired length when assembled along perimeter walls. Perimeter Angles are bolted directly to the wall with appropriate fasteners for wall type.
