Steel Prop

Steel Props use steel as supporting components to bear the structural support of large loads.Generally,Steel Props are inclined connecting components,with common shapes like herringbone and cross.Their cross-sectional forms can be steel pipes,H-beams,angle steels,etc.,and their function is to enhance the stability of the structure.

Steel Prop are widely used in engineering,with common applications including:

Used for inter-column supports.For example,in single-story or multi-story industrial plants,their main role is to increase the longitudinal stiffness of the structure and effectively transmit horizontal seismic forces.

Used in deep foundation pit projects.For example,the internal struts in deep foundation pit projects mainly serve to bear horizontal earth pressure and ensure the safety of the retaining structure during the excavation and backfilling stages of the foundation pit.

Used in scaffolding projects.Scaffolding projects are actually a type of spatial Steel Prop system.

Do you know the advantages of adjustable Steel Props?

They have reasonable force-bearing capacity and high load-carrying capacity,which can effectively reduce the number of support rods,lower construction costs.The support rods are not restricted by fixed plane dimensions.They have strong versatility and can adapt to formwork projects of cast-in-place reinforced concrete floors with different floor heights and slab thicknesses;they can stand on their own without horizontal connections and have good stability.

Under the condition of the same formwork area,the steel consumption of adjustable Steel Props is less than that of bowl-buckle scaffolding and steel pipe scaffolding,only 30%of that of bowl-buckle scaffolding and 20%of that of steel pipe and fastener scaffolding.Therefore,the vertical transportation volume of tower cranes is reduced,which can shorten the construction period by about 50%and improve work efficiency.

At the formwork site,the use of lightweight adjustable Steel Props requires a relatively small amount,providing a large operating space,ensuring smooth passage of personnel and transportation of materials,and making on-site management easier.

After the formwork,Steel Props,and primary and secondary beams are dismantled,they can be concentrated on the unloading platform for vertical transportation by tower cranes,or manually transported from stairs.They are less restricted by machinery and have certain flexibility.

As a formwork support system with low cost and convenient construction in the current building formwork support system,adjustable Steel Prop products should continue to innovate product processes in future development,starting from product structure and performance to optimize products,so that they can play a better role in construction.
