P isthe applied axial compressive load and Pmax is the maximum allowable axial load at a particulareffective length.E.g. A vertical Megashor leg with effective length of 6 metres in the X-X axis and 3 metres in the Y-Yaxis is bolted directly to a header beam at the top and has a Megashor jack at the base. A frameanalysis program indicates an axial compressive load in the section of 620 kN and a bendingmoment in the X-X axis of 30 kNm. There is no bending moment in the Y-Y axis.From information given by frame analysis:M = 30 kNm,P = 620 kNXX axis check. Using Megashor graph 1.1.6.1. with 10mm eccentricity the maximum allowable axialload with an effective length of 6 metres (Pmax) = 910 kN.From the Megashor data given in this sheet Mmax = 102 kNmUsing the equation above30 + 620 =0.975< 1 Therefore OK102910YY axis check. Using Megashor graph 1.1.6.2. with 10mm eccentricity Pmax = 990 kN > 620 kNapplied, hence OK.Allowable axial compressive loads are given for loads eccentric at both ends 10, 25, 38and 50mm on the following 4 graphs.Appropriate eccentricities for various arrangements in conjunction with Megashor are givenbelow.Megashor jack code 05451 to MegashorMegashor rocking head code 05473 to Megashor 10mmMegashor end plate to foundation with groutAny of the above to foundation without grout 50mmWhere different load eccentricities are present at either end use the maximum value bothends.Where Megashor sections are bolted directly to header or waling beams without rockingheads a frame analysis shall be carried out and the Megashor section checked incombined compression and bending.}1.1.6.
