Dock Pile TU440 Data Sheet (CPM251-060216)
Dock Pile TU440 Data Sheet (CPM251-060216)
Data Sheet
The mechanical and physical data detailed herein is provided for the structural engineer. The
mechanical data is published in terms of average and characteristic design values based on a
5% lower exclusion limit.
The characteristic value accounts for statistical uncertainty due to a finite sample size. The char-
acteristic value is the reference strength that should be used for design purposes. In terms of
Allowable Stress Design (ASD), the pultrusion industry uses a 3.0 safety factor for compression
members, 2.5 for flexural members, 3.0 for connections and 3.0 for shear. The published average
E-modulus shall be used for serviceability calculations.
Bending Stiffness (EI) per ASTM D6109 lbs▪in2 (kg▪mm2) 8.30E+084 (2.43E+11)4
Average Moment Capacity per ASTM D6109 kip-ft (kN▪m) 1443 (195)3
Average Washer Pull Through Strength lb (kg) using a 6"x3/8" square/radius washer 17,377 (7,882)
Characteristic Washer Pull Through Strength lb (kg) using a 6"x3/8" square/radius washer 14,812 (6,719)
Allowable torque permitted on a bolted connection with a 6" radius washer lb-ft (N▪m) 50 (68)
Notes:
1. The crush strength value is based on full section testing. The strength value was recorded at the first audible sound and change in the
load deflection curve. The ultimate capacity is approximately 60% higher and is defined as the highest recorded load documented
during the crush strength test.
2. Characteristic data is unavailable due to the number of tests required. A minimum of 10 tests are required to generate the ASTM D7290
Characteristic values.
3. Full section strength for the TU440 obtained from testing in accordance with ASTM D1036.
4. Modulus of elasticity value obtained from ASTM D638 protocol.
5. Capacity based on testing conducted with 3/4” hardware for the TU440 and 1" hardware for all others.
