GAA Press-Locked Series

MATERIAL: Plain or HD Galvanized,

Painted Steel, Aluminum
Stainless Steel - Mill Finish
CONSTRUCTION: McNICHOLS
Press-Locked Steel Grating cross bars are
pressed into the bearing bars flush top under
tremendous pressure laterally displacing
1/16" of cross bar material into the dovetail
slot, assuring firm, rigid connections. Deep
cross bars are used for lateral support. The
main bars are not cut, punched or otherwise
deformed below the neutral axis and therefore can resist up to the yield stress for the
full cross-section of the bars.

EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR TABLES HWC/HWD/HWE

Symbols and weights shown for gratings having cross bars
spaced at 4" centers. For gratings having cross bars at 2" centers add
suffix -2 to item number. Increase tabulated weight to 1.1# for the 1/4"
HW bearing bar sizes and 2# for the 3/8" HW bearing bar sizes.
Supplementary cross bars can be installed in pairs on the underside
of gratings with depths of 3" or more, when specified. These additional
bars provide extra load distribution and lateral stability to the carrying
members. For short spans, one set located at mid-point. For greater
spans, two or three pairs depending upon spacing of supports.
Where gratings are subjected to extremely heavy loading conditions,
or rolling loads at 90 degrees to bearing bars, further assurance of
satisfactory performance can be obtained by trim banding the ends of
panels. Such band bars are usually 1/4" thick and 1/2" less than the
depth of the grating and welded flush with the top of the grating.
Banding must be specified.

Note: The carrying capacity of a piece of grating subjected to a concentrated load over only a portion of its width is determined by the stiffness of both the bearing bars
& the cross bars, and therefore varies with the type of grating used. To determine carrying capacity of gratings subject to such loadings, please call us for information.

Nosings for Stair Treads and Landings - Stair treads and landing are produced by attaching a 2" deep nosing to the leading edge. This
gives added strength and rigidity to the area that takes impact and abuse. In addition, the nosing provides more surface area for skid resistance,
wear and better visibility. Gray stair treads with yellow nosing are available at additional cost.

WHAT IS
GripTight?
Aluminum oxide grit is
bonded to a metal base using a metal bonding
agent. Surface can be specified on either a steel
on steel, aluminum on aluminum, aluminum on
steel, or aluminum on galvanized steel base. Steel
based products are finished with a standard shop
coat of paint applied to the underside surface.
A galvanized finish can be applied over the entire
surface when a steel bonding agent is specified.
GripTight comes in 4 grades of slip resistant coating. McNICHOLS products offer the most
aggressive.
All grades/profiles of GripTight exceed the
minimum .60 C.O.F. required by many municipalities.

Low maintenance

Diamondback Treadplate Flooring

To determine the maximum deflection for the limited allowable load, divide the deflection coefficient by the plate thickness.
EXAMPLE: Deflection for a 1/2" thick plate, 3'-0" span, at 593 lbs. per sq. foot = 0.149 (deflection coefficient) 0.50" (plate
thickness) = .298". Thickness added to base metal 1/16" to 3/16" coating weight.48# per square foot.

Standard Sizes and Recommended Spans

Recommendations are based on approx. min. loads of 300 lb. concentrated; 100 lb. uniform. Specific performance criteria may vary by municipality/building code body and should be locally checked prior to finalizing
specifications.

GRIP STRUT Stair Treads Load Table

Load data below takes eccentric loads into consideration. Although
load values include allowances for normal impact conditions and usual
pedestrian traffic, be sure to make provisions in the structural design
for special uses and loads involving unusual impact forces or vibratory
forces. Load-carrying capacity of stair treads increases as side channel
height and gauge of material increases.

The following information

refers to Regular GRIP STRUT
Safety Grating hereinafter
referred to as grating.
HOW TO READ LOAD TABLES
To select size of grating, determine load, clear span and deflection requirements. Having this
information, select from the
appropriate load tables to find the
appropriate plank to meet job
requirements.
FOR EXAMPLE: If you require a
clear span of 4'0", concentrated
load of 300# at .025" maximum
deflection and have chosen regular GRIP STRUT, you would
verify the following:
8-Diamond GRIP STRUT 183/4" wide, 2-1/2" height, 12
gauge steel will carry a load of
416# at a 0.18" deflection. This
is one size to do the job. Other
sizes will carry more load if necessary. For more economical
selection, choose the greatest
width that will support the load
consistent with the job requirements and choose deeper channels rather than heavier steel
gauges.
Grating will generally carry similar concentrated loads, tabulated
in pounds at mid-span, for a
given span, material gauge and
height, regardless of width. The
uniform load tables are tabulated
in lb./sq. ft., which accounts for
the difference in load capacity
shown for various widths.
Deflection is in inches.
To ensure the safety of the tabulated loads, two aspects of grating strength must be considered.
The first consideration is transverse bending in the grating surface, which is referred to as strut
flexure. This occurs when the
grating is loaded with either a
uniform load or a mid-width concentrated load, and the struts
(grating surface) deflect relative
to the side channels. To deterFig.1

mine the allowable strut loads,

samples of each plank material
and thickness were tested for
each plank width. (see Fig. 3).
The data resulting from these
tests was used to prepare strut
loading tables for regular GRIP
STRUT which give allowable
loads and deflections considering
strut flexure only. These allowable strut and rung loads have
been incorporated in the Product
Selection Design Tables.
The second aspect of the grating
strength is channel flexure. This
occurs when the channels at midspan of the grating deflect relative to support points. To verify
the performance of the side
channels, samples were loaded
with concentrated and uniform
loads at different spans. To
approximate the most severe
condition, there were no attachments between the channels and
the supports. In cases where
spans are shorter, channels
deeper and grating wider, strut
flexure becomes more critical.
With the exception of 8- and 10Diamond regular GRIP STRUT,
it can be assumed that both side
channels effectively support the
concentrated load, and the grating surface deflection is negligible. Based upon these assumptions, the following values found
in the load table have been determined:
If grating surface deflection
should be considered when
selecting a product to meet a particular specification, then the
deflection of the mid-width of the
grating, relative to the side channels, can be calculated using
both the data in the Strut Loading
Tables and the Load/Deflection
Conversion formula. All load
tables show maximum loads,
based upon actual load tests.

LOAD U

UNIFORM LOAD (U) application to all grating:

Maximum load(lb/ft2) permitted by flexural stress in
side rail or grating strut,
whichever is lower, applied
to entire grating area (fullwidth by clear-span)
between supports.

deflection (D)

CONCENTRATED LOAD
(C) application to all
walkways/planks:
Maximum load(lb) permitted

mid-span and assumed to
be carried equally by both
side rails.

Heavy Duty GRIP STRUT Safety
Grating products offer the advantages of
Regular GRIP STRUT Safety Grating but
are designed for applications of greater
than ordinary load and/or longer span.
Basic design is the same, but diamond
openings are larger and metal is thicker.
Heavy Duty Grating products are available
in many of the same configurations,
materials and finishes as Regular GRIP
STRUT Safety Grating. Heavy Duty
GRIP STRUT Grating products include:
planks, walkways and stair treads.
