Fx 53.6 kN
Fy 7.2 kN
Fz 4.0 kN

Strength Check - End Bracket

Max Shear Fx = 53.64kN (ULS) + Fy Component of shear = 7.2kN (ULS) = resultant shear force of 54.1kN (ULS)
Max Tension = 3.96kN (ULS)

Max Load per bolt Capacity of M16 Grade 8.8 Bolts Bolt Utilisation 0.49 Pass
Tension 1.98 Tension 70.3 0.03
Shear 27.05 Shear 58.9 0.46
Bracket Utilisation 0.63 Pass
Bracket Strength (Maximum Shear Force) 85.4 kN 0.63

Strength Check - Mid Bracket

Max shear Fy = 7.2kN (ULS) Full load resisted by one M12 Grade 8.8 Bolt.
Max Tension Fz = 3.96kN (ULS)

Max Load per bolt Capacity of an M12 Grade 8.8 Bolt Bolt Utilisation 0.33 Pass
Tension 4.0 Tension 37.8 0.10
Shear 7.2 Shear 31.6 0.23
Bracket Utilisation 0.14 Pass
Bracket Tensile Strength 28.0 kN 0.14

Strength Check - Cable

Maximum cable tension = 44.7kN (SLS) the capacity of the cable is 85.4kN (ULS)

Utilisation of cable under applied loading Cable Utilisation 0.53 Pass

Note: EAD (if used) does not need checking, as it will become a cable once fully deployed.

Serviceability Check - Fall Height & Clearance

Check the safe fall distance based on the lifleine prediction, considering the width of the walkway.
D = Vertical deflection of lifeline 0.81 m
E = Length of Lanyard 1.80 m
D F = Length of Harness + Absorber 3.55 m
H G = Clear Distance from floor 5.64 m
H = Height of Lifeline above walkway 1.8 m
J = Height of walkway above floor 10 m
E K = Clear Distance from obstacles 0.64 m
