SUPERSLIM SOLDIER
MODULAR STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

Introduction
The Superslim Soldier is the definitive modular structural support system. Robust, easily assembled and having an
unrivalled and growing range of accessories, the Superslim Soldier can be used in numerous temporary works
applications such as wall formwork, static or travelling gantries, vertical and raking shores, spanning beams and
trusses, façade retention, bridge cantilever edge & deck supports and safety screens for use in hi-rise construction.

Superslim and European Standards.


The majority of the Superslim components were designed before the conception of the EN design standards. Extensive
use was made of BS449 backed up by load testing carried out by Birmingham University and in RMD Kwikform labs.
Subsequent to the introduction of European Standards we have re-examined the main load-bearing components in the
Superslim range using EC3 including the recommendation of EN 12812 to use a partial material factor of 1.1. Where
appropriate technical data has been adjusted to suit the output of these calculations and in some instances further load
testing in accordance with applicable EN standards has been carried out at University premises to justify published
capacities.

To facilitate design using established permissible load methods in accordance with BS5975, load performance data in
this document is displayed as an ‘Allowable Working Load’. Should Limit State Design be required, the Design
Resistance may be obtained by multiplying the Allowable Working Load values by 1.5.

SUPERSLIM SOLDIER
MODULAR STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

Beams with Compression Flanges Restrained


The Superslim Soldier is a lightweight member and it is not generally appropriate to use established design codes for
beam analysis. Performance of the unit has been derived from a combination of calculation and extensive load
testing. Due to the presence of various web perforations, performance is affected by both shear stiffness and the
bending stiffness of the member. Analysis of beam deflection is complex, for deflection calculation by simplistic
analysis, reduced EI value of 3200kNm2 gives good correlation with the more rigorous analysis.

When used as a beam it is important that the soldier is restrained laterally at load points and supports. On a shutter
this lateral restraint is provided by the face contact material, backing members and specified connections between
the components acting as a stiff diaphragm to restrain the connected flange of the Superslim. Integral intermittent
welded web stiffeners in the Superslim transfer this lateral restraint to the unconnected flanges. When used as an
isolated beam it is normal to provide lateral restraint using scaffold tubes coupled to the flanges of the soldier. When
lateral restraint is not provided refer to sheet 14 for Allowable Working Loads.

When bending in the weak axis, the soldier should be treated as two individual channel members, each with a
moment of resistance of 3.12kNm. Individual loads act on the single channel and transfer the forces through the
welded stiffeners to the other channel.

Combined Loading
Performance under conditions of combined bending, bearing and shear loading can be
checked using the graph below and figure right for a range of connecting accessories and
conditions.

Cross Bearing Conditions


Cross bearing is the least favourable load case for Superslim Soldiers and exists under the following conditions:

Crossing Superslim Soldiers


This condition occurs in wall formwork applications where the primary beams run vertically
and a horizontal Superslim is added to the rear of the primary beams to pick up tie
positions that do not line up with the vertical soldiers.

Cantilevering Superslim Soldiers


When Superslim Soldiers are used as cantilevers beams to support a load beyond a slab edge, the reaction between
the Superslim and the slab edge is considered a cross bearing condition. For short cantilevers it may be possible to
incorporate a bolted Soldier joint at this bearing location in which case the Superslim end plates act as load bearing
stiffeners. In this case bearing need not be considered and the allowable working load is governed only by the
bending moment capacity of the bolted joint.

Beams with Compression Flanges Unrestrained


The failure mode for long spanning beams without compression flange restraint tends to be by buckling sideways of
the compression flanges, a phenomenon known as lateral torsional buckling. During the design of standard steel
sections the permissible bending stress is de-rated from the maximum for the material to ensure that failure of this
nature does not occur. Superslim Soldiers can also be susceptible to this kind of failure. The complex section is
made up of twin channels welded together in a manner that makes them act in a partially composite manner. A
mathematical study has been combined with load testing to produce the graph below.

Effective Length of Compression Flange

BS 5975 Annex K.3 may be used to determine the effective length of the compression flanges, e.g. an individual
Super Slim soldier cantilevers 0.9m past a Rapidshor U Head.
Determine the maximum point load that may be carried on the top flange at the unrestrained tip.
From BS 5975 table K.3 the soldier is continuous with lateral restraint only. The effective length of the compression
flange (in this case the lower flange) is 7.5 * 0.9m = 6.75m.
From the graph above the maximum allowable bending moment at 6.75m effective length = 8.0kNm.
Hence maximum point load at tip = 8.0kNm / 0.9m = 8.89kN.

For more detailed information on the behaviour of Superslim Soldiers and further examples refer to the Appendix.

Vertical Struts – Buckling About the Y Axis


The Superslim Soldier has different loading characteristics about its two axes due to its asymmetric shape. The
arrangement of the strut when erected may also dictate the method of bracing to obtain the required capacity. The
lateral stability of the strut in each direction requires consideration, and graphs of safe load capacity against effective
strut length are given below. The effective length of a strut is defined in BS 5975 table K1.

When using the rocking head the load is axial in one plane, but dependant upon site accuracy for the degree of
eccentricity in the other plane. In the following graphs the permissible loads are given allowing for eccentricity due to
assembly tolerance and a load eccentricity of 10mm, 25mm and 38mm.

A load restriction of 100kN is placed on the soldier when the load is to be released through the Slimshor jack. Where
the load is not to be released through jacks, the maximum allowable load can be increased to 150kN.

Horizontal Shores – Buckling About the Y Axis


The notes relating to vertical members in compression also apply to horizontal members in compression. An
additional allowance for the self weight of the horizontal shore has been included. Wind load has been excluded for
the orientation shown. When shores have intermediate vertical restraints, buckling about the x axis may be the
limiting factor.

Note! The allowable working load for horizontal applications is shown as greater than for vertical applications due to
the inclusion of wind loads in the vertical application graph (the effects of which exceed the effect of self weight in the
horizontal orientation graph). If vertical plane wind loads are expected when designing struts with this orientation
refer to RMD Kwikform for revised data.

Anchor Plate Design Data


Allowable Working Loads with RMD Kwikform Propbolt 24-R50 (Code FAU10142)
Commonly Propbolt 24-50 is used singly or in pairs to secure the Superslim Anchor Plate to a concrete foundation.
The base of the Anchor Plate is 15mm thick and, when used in pairs the anchors are at 226mm centres which means
that there is an interaction zone between the anchors due to their proximity .
The anchor plate is bolted to the underside of an assembled form before being placed. To allow for assembly and slab
tolerances, a packed gap of 10mm is assumed between the plate and the foundation.
To aid quick checking of allowable loads in the anchor plate when using this configuration the graphs below may be
used.

Push Pull Props – Load Control


By application of a controlled torque to the Superslim body of a Heavy Duty Push Pull Prop, the load applied by the
prop up to the full 100kN capacity can be applied or measured.
Alternatively the axial force in a loaded Push Pull Prop can be measured by determining the torque required to just
tighten the prop (Note, further turning will increase the load).

Customers Torque Wrench

Load in Push Pull Prop = W (kN)


Torque measured on Torque Wrench = Tw (Nm)
Torque applied to Push Pull Prop = Tp (Nm)
Tp = 9W
For applying prop load: Tw = Tp ( L )
1.3 + L
For measuring prop load: Tp = Tw ( 1.3 + L )
L
e.g. To apply prop load of 60kN you need to apply a torque to the prop of 540Nm. This can be achieved by applying a
0.7m long torque wrench set to 189Nm to the M20 nut on the Prop Torque Handle.
Note: Prop threads must be fully greased before use to ensure reasonable accuracy.

MODULAR STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

Superslim Propping and Shoring Design


Superslim incorporated in a falsework structure will require design checks in accordance with BS 5975 for lateral and
overall stability. Generally the falsework structure will be freestanding and bracing may be required for erection,
lateral stability, overall stability or node point stability for the designed strut effective length. Fitting of bracing for one
of these reasons will often satisfy the other bracing requirements. See below for a typical falsework arrangement
incorporating Superslim.
P P P

150

Lacing and bracing to


d
both faces

150
Adjustable Base

The vertical dimension (d) between horizontal lacing when using scaffold tube, is a function of the following:-
(A) Effective strut length from sheets 13 or 14 or to give required working capacity.
(B) Adequacy of the couplers and tube lacing and bracing to safely transmit the restraint forces.
(C) Physical limitations on operatives fitting lacing and bracing.
(D) Sequence and method of erection.
Where the shores are used with existing stable structures, such as in backpropping, then the shores could be inserted
without bracing. For larger heights bracing for strut node stabilisation may be needed if the applied load exceeds that
stated for length of shore used.

Assembly and Erection


The simplicity of the Superslim Prop with only a few parts makes assembly easy with only four M16 Set Pins per joint.
It is suggested that on vertical shores the bolts are placed downwards with the nut underneath. The shores can be
assembled on a flat clean surface and then lifted up to position using the lifting plate. Once in position some erection
bracing will be necessary to ensure stability during final alignment and setting. If tube and fittings are used for bracing,
the tube clamps can be pre-fitted to the soldier sections.
One alternative method of assembly is to erect the shores piece by piece. This method normally requires tube and
fittings bracing, with the horizontal lacing fitted below joints between soldier sections. For ease of handling it is
suggested that the longer lengths of soldier be at the bottom of the make-up. Diagonal tubes should be fitted as the
erection proceeds.

Superslim Bracing Using Scaffold Tube


In many applications where bracing to the shores is required, scaffold tube will be used for the Horizontal and
diagonal members. The horizontal tubes are connected to the Superslim Props with the Slimshor Tube Clamp.

Plan of a single braced row of Superslim props

When connecting together rows of Superslim Props, it is recommended that twin tubes are used horizontally. The
diagonals may be fitted to these tubes with swivel couplers. If clearance requirements demand it, then diagonals can
also be attached to the Superslim Props with the Slimshor tube clamp.
The arrangement shown braces the shores about their YY axis. During erection and for overall stability, some
restraint about the XX axis may be necessary. This may be done by connecting additional tubes, shown dotted, to
suitable points of restraint The diagrams below shown the minimum spacing between groups to give full access to all

Superslim Bracing Using Rapid Bar Tie


One alternative method of bracing Superslim is to use crossed diagonal tension rods, usually 15mm Rapid Bar Tie
with connectors. The tie connects directly to the Porthole bearing which fits into the 100mm diameter hole in the
webs of the Soldier. This arrangement only provides tension restraint between shores and suitable members to act
as struts are needed to complete the structure. The tension force in the Rapid Bar Tie when used in this situation is
limited to 65kN.

Superslim Jack Bracing


The Superslim Adjustable Base and Adjustable Head will safely transmit a horizontal force of 2.5kN or 2½ % of a
maximum axial force of 100kN. If the horizontal force to be transmitted is greater than this, then jack bracing will be
needed. The table below shows the allowable horizontal force compared to jack extension for both Head and Base.
When jack bracing is required, usually a tube is attached to the threaded part of the jack and diagonals fitted to it.
See below Typical Arrangement of Jack Bracing.

Appendix
Superslim Soldiers are lightweight members made from a pair of
3.5mm thick grade Q345 or S355 folded steel lipped channels with the
lips acting to stiffen and strengthen the flanges. At intervals along the
beam, welded web stiffener plates connect the two channels together
and both improve torsion resistance of the composite beam and force
a certain degree of composite action between the channels in their
weak axes. The channels are further connected together at the ends
by 10mm thick welded end plates with holes enabling units to be
bolted end to end. The gap between the twin channels provides a
convenient location for ties to pass through the beam in almost any
location.
100mm diameter ‘portholes’ perforate both webs at 180mm intervals
and lighten the beam. The raised lip around the perimeter of the
portholes is a detail borrowed originally from aircraft construction and
stiffens the webs when a Superslim is subject to shear, bearing or
axial compressive loads. These portholes, as well as the smaller
21mm diameter holes in the web and end plate holes, enable the
connection of an unrivalled range of accessories which combine to
help keep the Superslim product system as the industry benchmark
for the versatile construction of modular structures.

Behaviour as a Beam
The strength and stiffness of a Superslim is very much less when considered about the ‘weaker’ axis perpendicular to
the plane of the webs than the other ‘stronger’ axis despite the presence of the twin channels and integral web
stiffeners, this means that lateral torsional buckling (LTB) needs to be considered during the design of Superslim
beams. LTB can occur when an unrestrained compression flange in a beam subjected to bending becomes unstable
resulting in unwanted sideways movement of the compression flange, twisting of the beam about its central axis and
possibly total failure of the beam at a bending
moment significantly lower than the maximum
allowable bending moment for the fully
restrained section. For a brief video concerning
LTB click on this link.

SUPERSLIM SOLDIER
MODULAR STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

Fully Restrained Beam Design


The Superslim was first developed for use as a formwork ‘soldier’ for use in formwork panels assembled by the user
from individual components to form a structural ‘grillage’. The concrete pressure is applied to plywood or composite
face sheeting spanning between, supported by and fixed to originally timber and more usually now aluminium
‘secondary’ beams; in some markets these are called ‘backing members’. These in turn span between and are
supported by Superslim ‘primary beams’ or soldiers which act to span between formwork ties that connect to the
opposite form face thus balancing the concrete pressure loads. The loads are transferred between the Superslim and
the formwork ties by one of various ‘waler plates’ which create bearing loads in the Superslim beam additional to the
bending moments and shear. Soffit formwork constructed using Superslim soldiers as primary beams act in the same
manner except the ties and waler plates are replaced by falsework U-heads.
In these applications the flanges of the Superslim in contact with the secondary beams are connected at each
intersection using one of a variety of proprietary clips or clamps. Clips/clamps along the length of the Superslim are
staggered so that every other clip is fitted to one of the Superslim channels and the remainder are fitted to the other
channel. This relatively frequent connection to both channels prevents the Superslim from twisting about its axis and
prevents the flange in connection with the secondary beams from moving sideways.
The intermittent diaphragm stiffeners now act as cantilevers and effectively provide lateral restraint to the flanges not
connected to the secondary beams. The multiple restraint created in this manner, together with the bracing
‘diaphragm action’ of the form face sheeting and its fixings to the secondary beams, fully restrains both flanges of the
Superslim beam regardless of whether the beam experiences sagging bending moments (between the ties) or
hogging moments (near/at the tie locations).

MODULAR STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

Combined Loading
At the tie locations, the Superslim soldier is subjected to a combination of bending, shear and bearing stresses and
this most onerous combination of loading will usually govern the design of the beam. Safe performance envelopes of
tie load and bending moment have been determined by extensive load testing. To facilitate design, shear and bearing
stresses have been combined into a single variable - ‘bearing load’. This enables a single graph to contain
performance envelopes covering the behaviour of the Superslim beam used in conjunction with multiple accessories
such as Rapidshor and Alshor U-heads in falsework construction. Also included is the least favourable case when two
Superslim beams are crossed and bear on each other. In this mode, the two webs of both soldiers act like knife edges
and bearing is transferred though only four small areas of contact.
The Adequacy of the Superslim beam between the ties/supports also needs to be checked as part of the design. In
formwork applications the reactions from the Alforms/timbers are comparatively low and can be ignored. As a result
checks are restricted to bending moment and deflection of the Superslim beam section and bending moment at any
joints between individual Superslim beams where the allowable bending moment capacity is reduced and varies
depending on how many bolts are used to secure the connection. Where high concentrated loads are present mid
span, these need to be taken into account during the design process.
Performance under conditions of combined bending, bearing and shear loading can be
checked using the graph below and figure right for a range of connecting accessories
and conditions. Direct bearing performance is reduced compared to bearing one side as
the Superslim webs are eccentrically loaded on both flanges.

Design of Beams without Lateral Restraint


For applications other than standard formwork, the Superslim will likely be less well restrained. The important thing to
determine here is the ‘effective length of the compression flange’. To which the allowable bending moment is related
using the graph below.
The effective length of the compression flange
depends on three factors:
• Whether the load is de-stabilising or not—
see below for definition
• The degree of lateral and torsional
(twisting) restraint at the supports
• For cantilevers the lateral and torsional
restraint at the tip
The destabilising load condition is unusual and
applies when the load is applied to the top flange
and both the top flange and the load are free to
move sideways.
Effective lengths for compression flanges of
various beam arrangements are shown in the
table right (BS5975).
Example an Individual Superslim Soldier is used
to support an un-braced Rapidshor base jack
loaded to 53kN over a 2m void in a slab. What
conditions are needed to safely achieve this?
Base jack extension is 500mm.
The long un-braced base jack is quite flexible
laterally so it could be argued that the load is
de-stabilising.
At the supports torsional restraint is by dead
bearing on the ends so effective length of the
compression flange is 1.4L+2D = 3.25m.
Allowable bending moment is 22.5kNm.
Applied bending moment = WL/4 = 26.5kNm >
22.5kNm does not satisfy.
If the base jack extension were short or a jack
brace is added perpendicular to the Superslim
the load is not de-stabilising. Effective length is
1.2L+2D = 2.85m. Allowable bending moment =
27kNm > 26.5kNm—satisfies.
