HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

Preparing a Rigging Plan

Note:The basic procedures proposed above contain the steps recommended for the licenced design professional to prepare a rigging plan.

Step 1: Factoring Total Load

Option A - Light Frame Panel Rigging

Determine the total factored load (Wf) based on the weight of the panel and rigging conditions.

Rigging ConsiderationsIn order to ensure safe rigging operation, special attention should be given to the following:

• Factored load of the rigged element (Wf)• Maximum anchors capacity (Nr)• Maximum capacity of slings, ropes, connection

points and other hardware (Please refer to your respective rigging equipment provider or the rigging engineer's suggestions)

In order to ensure stable rigging with appropriate load sharing, the center of gravity shall be determined and locations of the anchors shall be chosen accordingly. All rigging shall be done by qualified personnel only. Before each lift, all hardware shall be checked for possible defects, material fatigue or abrasion.

Step 2: Yoke Rigging System SelectionDetermine the type of rigging needed, this guide provides solutions for 4 options:

Step 3: Safety Checks

Check 1 - Screw Penetration CheckCheck that the screws will penetrate as many plies or wood material as possible and a minimum clearance of 10mm is respected to avoid through penetrations.

Check 2 - Yoke System Capacity CheckCheck that the anchors capacity (Nr) exceeds the total factored load (Wf) of the lifted element.

Option C - CLT Wall Panel Rigging

Option B - CLT Floor/Roof Panel Rigging

Option D - Glulam Beam Rigging

NOTES TO THE DESIGNER1. All rigging elements shall be approved by a licensed

design professional. It is the responsibility of the rigger to ensure a safe work environment and verify the condition of all equipment. All suggestions and details shown are to be treated as general and can not be assumed to be valid for all construction requirements and specific site conditions.

2. In this guide, the term “Yoke” refers only to the Yoke itself, while the term “anchor” refers to the yokes and the screws as a system. The capacity of the Yoke represents the upper limit in terms of capacity per anchor, while the basic factored resistance of the anchor (N’r) takes into account the capacity of the screws.

3. Rigging capacity:

• The total capacity of the anchors (Nr), resolved into the vertical components, must be greater than the total factored load (Wf) of the rigged element.

• To ensure full connection capacities, fasteners should penetrate panel plies to the largest extent possible, with a minimum of three plies penetrated.

• For light frame panel rigging, the minimum penetration and wood panel thickness should be respected.

4. Anchor placement:

• End and edge distance requirements must be respected.

• Additional moment equilibrium calculations are required to determine the proportion of the total factored load shared by each anchor for situations where anchors are not spaced equidistant around the center of gravity.

• The placement of the anchors should not exceed the maximum span of the lifted element, in accordance with the structural engineer's specifications.

5. Rigging slings and load spreader:

• Slings must lift elements at a minimum angle of 60° measured between the sling and the panel surface (β). Otherwise, the capacity of the anchors shall be adjusted with the appropriate sling angle reduction factor (RAR) given in Table 14.

• Sling angles shall not exceed 30° measured between the sling and the vertical (λ),

• A load spreader/compensation system shall be used for lifts using more than two anchors. Otherwise, the capacity of the anchors shall be adjusted with the appropriate load spreader reduction factor (RLS) or other appropriate engineering judgement.

Table 2, Fastener Torsional Strength

S-P-F Douglas FirG = 0.42 G = 0.49

6. Rigging condition requirements:

• Before each lift, check to see that the sling is properly attached.

• The load line should be brought over to the element’s center of gravity before the lift.

• No object or person should be present on the panels when rigged (no live load).

• Suspended loads should be securely slung and properly balanced before they are set in motion.

• The load must be kept under control at all times.The use of taglines is recommended to prevent uncontrolled motion.

• Loads must be safely landed and properly blocked before unhooking and unslinging the panels.

• No overhead lifting at anytime.

7. To ensure safety and proper capacity, the fasteners used for panel rigging must only be used once. Proper inspection should be performed frequently to ensure the structural integrity of the anchors. If any damage or failure is noticed, stop using the anchors immediately.

8. The maximum installation torque of the screws are as follows:

Screw Diameter1/4” 3/8” 1/2”

[6mm] [10mm] [12mm]

STEP 1: FACTORING TOTAL LOADDetermining the total factored load (Wf) of the rigged element is essential. Actual loads must be factored up. The proposed method incorporates a dead load factor (1.4), a dynamic acceleration factor, and an optional safety factor to consider in each rigging scenario. In all cases, the total factored load (Wf) shall be specified and approved by a licensed design professional.

Wf = 1.4 ∙ W ∙ KOS ∙ Kv

W Unfactored weight of the rigged element [kN or lbs] :

KOS Optional safety factor :

• For rig mat rigging 1• For open space rigging 1.2• For tight space rigging 1.3

The unfactored weight of the element (W) is usually provided in shop drawings or the panel manufacturer’s specifications. Table 3 provides recommended dynamic acceleration factors (Kv) subject to approval by the licensed design professional.

Sources:1. Pfeifer, Snaam, Halfen, Peikko, Arteon

In cases where information on weight is not provided, a calculation based on the dimensions and the wood species may be done to estimate the unfactored weight:

STEP 3: SAFETY CHECKS

Fastener length is often limited by the thickness of the rigged element. While it is recommended that the screws should penetrate as many plies as possible, a minimum clearance of 10mm is recommended to avoid through penetration. The following table provides suggested fastener lengths for most common North American CLT thicknesses.

Table 13, ASSY Screw Length Suggestion According to Panel Thickness

Notes: 1. Fastener lengths are suggestions only and can be adapted to fit certain site conditions and rigging needs. 2. The thread embedment length on the fastener determines the capacity of each system.

RIGGING CONSIDERATIONS

Tabulated basic factored resistance values (N’r) are valid for rigging scenarios with a minimum sling angle (β) measured between the sling and the panel surface of 60°. Additionally, the angle (λ) measured between the vertical and the sling, must be smaller than 30°.

Load Spreading When using more than two anchors, it is important to ensure that uneven load sharing does not occur. Without an adequate load spreader/compensation system, only two slings may carry the entire load, with the remaining slings hanging slack. In such cases, a reduction factor RLS = 0.5 will need to be applied to the the capacity of the anchors (Nr).

When lifting CLT floor panels using load spreader or compensation devices as seen below, even load share may be assumed.

When lifting CLT wall panels, load spreaders can be used to further stabilize the load while increasing the sling angle (β).

Recommended Workflow

ON-SITE CONSIDERATIONS

The prefabrication of various mass timber elements allow for a fast and efficient installation on-site. The majority of mass timber element manufacturers provide sequencing of material, with the trucks arriving in the sequence the elements are set to be installed. When rigging the elements, it is crucial to keep up with the material workflow on-site by steadily unloading truck beds and maximizing crane efficiency.

4

It is recommended to follow a circular workflow, using 4 sets of rigging hardware, reducing delays on-site.

1 set is used for rigging the panel into place

1 set is transported back to the truck1 set is unmounted from the panel in place

1 set is installed on the panel on the truck bed1 2

Pre-fabricated JigsFor repetitive lifts, a jig can be made to assure correct placement and even load sharing between the rigging hardware. The jig also allows for a faster installation on bigger projects.

A magnetic socket can be used for a faster installation of the ASSY Kombi screws used with the Yoke 1T and the Yoke 5T. With the built-in magnet, it is simple to place the screw head inside the socket and drill in the self-tapping screw.
