Projects

Telecommunications Tower, Saline, MIThe Lindapter Hollo-Bolt proved the ideal solution for telecommunication tower reinforcement inSaline, Michigan. Over 5,000 5/8’’ Hollo-Bolts have been used to attach reinforcing bars to increasethe tower loading capacity.

To gain maximum efficiency from existing communication towers, telecommunication and wirelessindustries are increasing the number of co-locations on each tower in the field. Before additionalequipment can be added, each tower requires substantial reinforcement. One problemencountered in the development of the reinforcement system was how to attach the system to thetower itself. For the project at Saline this problem was overcome with Lindapter’s award winningcavity connection, the Hollo-Bolt. It provided the ideal solution because of its high load bearingcapabilities and ease of installation without access to the back of the steel.

James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, Mauna Kea, HIThe summit of a volcano may seem an unlikely place to find Lindapter products but high on MaunaKea in Hawaii they were used in constructing the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The telescope,with its 50ft diameter dish, is housed in a 400 ton enclosure which rotates as the telescope tracksacross the sky. Several thousand Floorfast were used to secure all the solid steel flooring inmaintenance walkways and platforms. They were chosen for their ease of installation in the difficultconditions in which the telescope was reconstructed - The 4,200, altitude means that ice, snow andhigh winds make for difficult working conditions.

Huntington Gardens, San Marino, CAOver 10,000 Lindapter Hollo-Bolts provided the answer for structural tube connection at theHuntington Botanical gardens in San Marino, California. Approximately 4,600 1/2’’ Hollo-Bolts wereused to enable simple and secure truss work connection for the unique conservatory which is setin 150 acres of magnificent gardens.

The Hollo-Bolt was specified because it provided a structurally sound structural tube connection,which is simple to use and cost effective. With the greenhouse being set in such beautifulsurroundings the overall aesthetic appearance of the new structure was of paramount importance.The Hollo-Bolts uncomplicated design and aesthetically pleasing finish lent itself perfectly to theapplication. Once installed only the collar and bolt head are visible which is why an additional3,800 5/8’’ Hollo-Bolts were used in the connection of ornamental trusses to structural columns -producing an extremely clean and symmetrical looking connection.

Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, Philadelphia, PALindapter provided the solution for the splicing of structural tube sections used in the archedtrusses of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, Philadelphia, PA. The solution was achievedby using the Lindapter Hollo-Bolt. Over 35,000 1/2’’ Hollo-Bolts were specified for the 8,800 spliceconnections of this expansive tube truss. The center, capped by a transparent folded plate-glassbarrel vault is supported by structural tube, which extends the length of the structure.

Manhattan Bridge, New York, NYServices Supports from Lindapter simplified a major pipework installation along the 5,500ft span ofManhattan Bridge. The 4’’ diameter pipe was connected to the bridge truss to enable fiber-opticcable to reach adjacent boroughs. Manhattan Bridge, which links the island of Manhattan withBrooklyn, has a main span of 5,500ft and approaches of an additional 2000ft on either side. A totalof 1200 Lindapter assemblies enabled the pipework installation to be completed without the needfor power at the point of connection, as drilling or welding was not required.

Lindapter has a long history of supplying products for a wide and diverse range of projects. Belowis a small selection.

•=Suitable X=Not Suitable ■=Usable but not recommended

The following table gives a breakdown of which packing is applicable to which clamp.

The types A and B are used when the top and bottom beam flanges ofthe sections are of a known thickness. The type A is used to captivatethe bolt head and stop it rotating whereas the type B has a flat top toallow a nut to be tightened onto it. See pages 12 and 13.

The High Friction Clamp, type AF, is for applications where highfrictional loads are encountered. To be used specifically with specialpacking pieces and a high strength location plate. See page 15.

The type BR is a version of the traditional type B, it features an anglednose which enables the product to accommodate tapered beam flangesof up to 8° slope while still remaining at 90° to the bolt shank. See page 21.

A manually adjusting clamp, the D2 and D3 type clamps incorporate aset screw to accommodate a wide range of flange thicknesses. Thedifference between them being similar to the type A and B i.e. the D2has a recessed head and the D3 has a flat top. See pages 18 and 19.

The self adjusting clamp, type LR, is suitable where the flangethickness cannot be easily measured prior to installation or where arange of different thicknesses are to be encountered. It has a greaterrange of thicknesses covered than the manually adjusted clamps. See page 16.

The Type CF is a new addition to the Lindapter high friction family, itsunique patented shape is the only one of its type on the market. Itstoothed nose and reaction legs combine to grip the flanges of thesteelwork to hold the CF square which allows a secure connection to allstructural profiles.

Note: Frictional load figures are based on type AF and location Plates in hot dip galvanized finish to ASTM A23. Where torques for ASTM A490bolts are applied a hardened steel washer is required. In tensile loading the limiting factor is the bolt capacity. Combined frictional and tensilesatisfy AISC LRFD ‘Specification for Structural Joints using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts.

The Type LR is able to adjust itself to meet the flange thickness of the steel beam being connected. Consisting of twoparts, the LR is particularly suitable for applications where the flange thickness cannot be easily measured prior toinstallation, or where a range of different thicknesses will be encountered.The product’s saddle adjusts to provide a flat location point for the bolt head or nut. A further advantage of the LR is itssuitability for use with sloping flanges on steelwork or rails up to 15°. For flange thicknesses beyond the range ofadjustment, long packings can be used to make up the difference.Note: The nose of the LR must sit on the flange of the section being secured. Ensure that the straight and not thetapered leg of the saddle is in contact with the edge of the flange.

Type AFW - Adaptor Washerfor High Friction Clamp

The Tip enables the nose of Types A, B, D1, D2 and D3to be filled making it horizontal and flat. Available for 1/2”and higher only. When used, the flange thickness iseffectively increased by the thickness ‘T’. Thecombination of the Lindapter tail-length (and packings)should be increased by this amount.

The Washer is used to fill the recess in Types A, C1, D1and D2, whenever the nut comes next to the Lindapter.Where any two recessed Lindapters are on one bolt, atype W is required under the nut. The thickness ‘T’ shouldbe added for bolt length calculations.

Type AFW can be used to fill the recess of the Type AF toform a flat surface so that the nut can be tightened.Additionally it features two projections which when invertedwill captivate the larger hexagons of ASTM A490 Bolts.

Loading CriteriaReference is made throughout this catalog to loads related to our product applications. Given loads are for SAE Grade5 Bolts unless otherwise stated. These are defined below (all Lindapter quoted loads have been obtained from fullscale physical tests)Should you have any difficulty in selecting the correct product for your needs, please contact us.

Tensile LoadingIn tensile applications the load transmits a force parallel to the center line ofthe bolt shank, applying a load to the contact point of the Lindapter.See product data tables for allowable tensile loads for varying Lindapter boltdiameters.

Shear LoadingThe Safe Working Load of the assembly is determined by the bolt Gradeand diameter as the force is resisted by the cross sectional area of the boltshanks. It is recommended that reference be made to the boltmanufacturers’ technical literature or the relevant structural steel designcode to ascertain a Safe Working Load per bolt.

Frictional LoadingThe force is applied at 90° to the bolt shank. The point at which slip occursdepends upon the condition and finish of the steel, the coating of theLindapter and the Grade of bolt used. Slip is defined as the constant load atwhich relative movement between clamped components exceeds 0.004”.

Published frictional loads are based on electro-zinc plated products clamping onto painted steel, which gives thelowest coefficient of friction.These loads are also based on a two-bolt connection, the lowest allowable for a frictional assembly. This should bemultiplied for the number of bolts used as appropriate.For further details on any frictional application, please contact Lindapter.

Combined LoadsWhen the connection is subject to more than one load condition, theresulting forces must be calculated to determine the product and bolt sizesrequired. Please contact Lindapter with your application.

Compression LoadingForce here is applied direct to the supporting section rather than theLindapter products. If, however, there is a gap between the surfaces beingconnected, the buckling strength of the supporting fabrication must beconsidered.

TorqueThe recommended torque values stated in the product sections must beapplied in order to achieve the stated Safe Working Loads. Any reduction intorques applied will lower the product Safe Working Load.

Notes for all EG, HDG, SS Hollo-Bolts**While the minimum fixing thickness for M16/M20 is 5/16", it is important that the outer ply is at least 5/16" to maximize shearcapabilities. Where the outer ply is below 5/16" thickness, spacer washers should be used beneath the collar to increase to 8mm. ***For further structural tube details not listed, please contact our technical department.The tensile strength of a connection using the Hollo-Bolt may be governed by the structural steel to which it is connected. The tensilevalue shown above is the tensile strength of the Hollo-Bolt itself. Please consult a structural engineer to check the capacity of yourstructural steel. Please contact Lindapter North America for test results of some other common structural tube sections.

Installing the Hollo-BoltHollo-Bolt’s greatest advantage is the ease with which the product can be installed. Detailed below are the three simple

Installation

1. Drill holes in required position (see hole preperation table on page 34 for recommended hole size). Position the Hollo-Bolt and fixture to the steel (the example pictured above shows steel angle). Insert product through both fixture and steel, cone end first.

2. Grip the Hollo-Bolt collar with an open ended wrench. Using a torque wrench, tighten the central bolt to the recommended torque given in the table on the previous page.

3. The Hollo-Bolt cone is drawn up into the body, spreading the products legs and providing a secure connection.Note: When installing, ensure that the Hollo-Bolt collar is held firmly against the fixture throughout the installation process.

Hole PreparationSome care must be taken both in preparation of the drilledhole for the product and in the location of the hole withregard to the structural tube section. The table below givesguidelines on minimum distance between hole centers forneighboring Hollo-Bolts (X), minimum distance of holecenter from inside wall of hollow section steel (Y) and drillsize to be used (Z). Diagram (1.) illustrates thesedimensions.

The Lindibolt is a self heading bolt suitable for making connections to cavity steel structures in similar applications tothe Hollo-Bolt but where the specific nature of the application precludes the Hollo-Bolt’s use. For example where thereis limitation on the size of hole which can be drilled (the Lindibolt requires a smaller hole than the Hollo-Bolt).

* Tensile loads shown are based on tests carried out in BS EN 10025: 1993 Grade S275JR plate and have a Factor of Safety of 5 (on pullout).

** Single shear loads are based on tests carried out in BS EN 10025:1993 Grade S275JR plate and have a Factor of Safety of 5 on shearing the Lindibolt, providing that the plates have a higher bearing value.

Installing the LindiboltThere are 6 steps to installing the Lindibolt, detailed below.These guidelines refer to the diagram at the top of the page and the loads and dimensions table above.Step 1. Drill clearance hole (Z + 1/16”) through connection plates.Step 2. Measure the total thickness of the plates to be connected (W) and set the Nut (C) at the distance of

(W + Projection P). Tighten Locknut (D).Step 3. Insert the Lindibolt through the pre-drilled holes, cone end first.Step 4. Using a wrench to hold Nut (C), to prevent rotation, tighten Setscrew (F) to correct torque. The cone (A)

will be drawn up inside the Lindibolt Body.Step 5. Loosen Locknut (D) and tighten Nut (C) to recommended torque to secure the plates.Step 6. Secure by tightening Locknut (D) to recommended torque.

Lindapter’s close working relationship with leading railorganizations has lead to the involvement in manyunique rail projects. Lindapter’s engineers are able towork with complex steel connections and offer adesign to meet the customer’s requirements, seeing itthrough prototyping to finished design and finally tomanufactured items.

Lindapter offers a range of rail clamps to suit manystandard applications, that offer the most cost-effective method of connecting the rails to thesleepers. These clamps are easier and less time-consuming to connect than other types of clampswhich require welding to the sleepers.

The main family of rail clamps is the Holdfast range.These permit precise alignment of rails by allowing ahigh degree of step less lateral adjustability. Thisalignment helps alleviate some of the problems thatoccur in track running machinery as a result ofmisalignment, such as excessive wheel, gearbox orbearing wear. In addition to the Holdfast, the Type BRand Type LR are ideal for rail applications.

Soft ClampThe soft clamp holds the rail in precise alignment laterally while accommodating a calculated amount of vertical railmovement caused by rail wave. Reducing stress in both rail and clamps, along with fatigue stresses that wouldnormally be transmitted to the bolt. This clamp should be used for continuous welded runs, or when rail is supportedby a resilient pad. Not for use on short runs of rail.

Hard ClampThe hard clamp secures the rail both laterally and vertically, clamping the rail down tightly and allowing no vertical railmovement. Designed for short runs of rail, the hard clamp should not be used when the rail is supported by a resilient pad.

The Lindapter Holdfast is a family of three rail clamps -‘Spring’, ‘Hard’ and ‘Soft’, all of which permit precisealignment of the rails by allowing a high degree of stepless lateral adjustability. These clamps are not designedfor high speed applications.

Spring Clamp

B3A3

Spring ClampThe spring clamp version incorporates an elastomer spring into the nose of the product, designed to provide somevertical restraint to the rail while still allowing the rail to lift with rail wave. The product features a recessed nose whichensures that there is no displacement of the spring when a lateral force is applied. The spring is manufactured fromhigh density synthetic polymer PU500-15 which has a Shore A hardness of 94.97. The spring is unaffected by saltwater and most chemicals and has a high resistance to abrasion. All three Holdfast clamps are designed for use with most common rail sections and are supplied with leg length to suitrail base thickness as required.

Resilient Pads (for use with Soft and Spring Clamps)Both the spring and soft clamps can be used with a resilient pad to decrease track running noise /structural vibration,level out irregular contact between surface and rail and to spread wheel load evenly over a wider area.

The Floorfast is an ingenious design which enables steel floorplates to be connected from above, by one man only,using simply a tee-handled hexagon key. There is no need for access from below and no site drilling or welding isrequired. The product consists of a malleable iron body casting with a countersunk socket screw. The eccentric steppedweb of the casting automatically locks under the steel and is suitable for flange thicknesses from 1/8” to 5/8”. Flangesabove 5/8” thickness can be accommodated by the use of a simple packing piece.Note: Body castings cannot be supplied without screws.

1. Position Lindapter Floorfast on underside of floorplate with stepped surface facing inwards and the straight edge of the web parallel to the edge of the plate, facing in the direction of the steel to be connected to. Hand tighten the Floorfast, then raise the Floorplate and lay it into position. The Floorfast units will give a positional reference.

2. Using a hexagon key release the countersunk screw one full turn.3. Tighten down the countersunk socket screw.

RemovalUsing a hexagon key, give the Type FF one full anticlockwise turn to release connection from the flange.

Installation1. Slide FL onto beam flange and tighten setscrew to recommended torque. To avoid over tightening, a rough guide to

achieve the correct torque is to tighten the setscrew with thumb and forefinger and then apply a further quarter turn (90˚) with a wrench. When used with taper flanges it is important to ensure that the setscrew of the FL bites into the tapered face of the flange, rather than the parallel underside.

2. Tighten the locknut to the recommended torque.Note: A Flange Clamp with a Hexagon Head is now available dependent on quantity, please contact Lindapter for details.

Design to carry lighter loads than the FL or F3 products, the Lindiclip is supplied assembled with 1/4” case hardened cuppoint setscrew and locknut and will accept threaded rod or cable clamps in a choice of positions (X or Y). The standardspecification is for both holes to be tapped 1/4”, however 5/16” is available as an option.

Lindapter type F3 pipe clamps together with types B and F9 steel clamps were part of the assemblies used to suspendglass reinforced plastic (GRP) panels from the underside of the viaduct, as part of a multi million dollar refurbishment project.The complete solution was designed and supplied by Lindapter to be used in the creation of a walkway formaintenance staff and an enclosure to protect the bridge’s steel from the elements. The walkway membrane,developed by the Transport Research Laboratory in conjunction with Faber-Maunsell and Partners, meant that themandatory six yearly inspections of the bridge could be carried out without the expense of providing temporary accessfacilities. The high level 2100 foot length of the bridge, combined with the river and the rail track running below, wouldhave made this difficult and costly.The fully adjustable Lindapter assemblies connect to the girder flanges under the bridge and are secured to tie bars onthe transverse ribs of the walkway panels. They were chosen because they are maintenance free, can carry a specifiedload and are easily assembled using simple tools. The success of the installation has led to their use on several otherbridge enclosure projects.

Viaduct-Refurbishment

Bridge - Installation of Pipework

Lindapter’s steel connection products simplified a major installation along a 3500 foot span of a large bridge. The installationallowed pipe containing fiber optic cable to be carried across the river to bring cable television to adjacent regions.

The project was complicated by the presence of existing services and steel which had been added to the bridge soffitduring an earlier widening project, leaving no direct route across for further pipe. Following a complete survey of thebridge, and close collaboration with the project engineers, Lindapter designed and supplied over 70 differentconnections to overcome these difficulties. The products possessed the additional advantage that no power wasneeded at the point of connection - ideal with the length of bridge span and the altitude involved. In addition, a gasmain running beneath the bridge meant that drilling or welding the steel would have been hazardous.

The Lindapter Type 1055 was designed for AMEC on behalf of Shell exploration and Production, operating in the UKsector of the North Sea off the coast of Scotland for Shell and ESSO.

The Type 1055 enables solid steel floor plate to be secured directly to open steel flooring using only simple hand tools,without the need for on-site drilling or welding, and without access to the underside of the open steel flooring.

The Type 1055 is utilized with pre-drilled plates which can be placed in any orientation and connected from above by asingle person. No hot work permit is required and no awkward or time consuming scaffolding is needed to gain accessto the underside of the existing grid. The Type 1055 can also be used for securing temporary solid flooring whereoperators need to be able to secure solid flooring quickly and easily, and remove it when required.

Lindapter’s work with highway, rail and other bridge applications led to the development of the Bridge Signconnection, designed specifically to connect square or triangular height signs to steel bridges. This system offerstwo distinct advantages:

1. The road beneath the bridge only has to be closed once. No need for the traditional process of closing the road, measuring the job, fabricating a clamp back at the shop, before closing the road again for installation. Lindapter’s product needs only one road closure, when an anchorage point can be created in one hour or less.

2. One clamp is suitable for most applications. There is no need to fabricate a special clamp, hence achieving a considerable saving in detailing and manufacturing time. To summarize the benefits:

• Road closure time is reduced

• No special fabrication is necessary

• No special tools are necessary

• Range of beam flange widths and thicknesses catered for

• No drilling or welding necessary
