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.
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.

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.

Effective Length of Compression Flange in metres
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.
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.

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.

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.
Y
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
the fittings.

Each spreader beam plate fits into the web of the Soldier and allows for 55mm adjustment in lifting length. The
maximum dimension between lifting points on a unit is 3060mm when using a single 3600mm Soldier.
The spreader beam plate has been designed in accordance with The Construction (Lifting Operations) Regulations
1961. Each plate is Individually numbered and tested to twice working load and stamped.
A certificate of testing is available from RMD Kwikform on request.
A table of maximum lifted load related to the internal angle of the slings is given in the graph on sheet 100. The user
will need to supply the correct two legged chains or slings.
• Use the Spreader Beam Adapter only in the orientation shown with the row of four holes positioned at the
bottom of the unit.
• Ensure that the lower slings are vertical by moving the position of the unit along the Superslim, fine adjustment
is afforded by moving the lower shackle between the four hole positions. Never use less than four 19mm pins
and clips to connect the unit to the Superslim.
• Where Superslim sections are joined to make longer spreader beams, ensure that soldiers with seven hole
end plates are used and connect sections together using 6 No. M16x40 grade 8.8 set pins and nuts torqued to
120Nm. Never use more than three Superslims in the makeup.
• Do not use with damaged Superslim Soldiers
For further instructions on safe use refer to the Equipment Guidance Notes supplied with the equipment or available

SUPERSLIM SOLDIER
MODULAR STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
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.

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.
