The prop consists of endplates which are fixed at right angles to one end of inner and outer tube and there is a threaded portion on the top of base pipe, which is used to adjust the height. A slot is provided in the threaded portion for the locking pin, whichis fastened usinga collar nut. The prop has a coarse adjustment with the pin inserted into holes in the inner tube and a means of fine adjustment using the threaded collar. = Dr. B.

TEST SET-UP A typical test set-up was prepared for partially extended up to different length of 2.43 (FC) and 4.18 (FE) m. The axial load was applied through a compression testing machine (capacity 6000 kN) and was measured using load cell (capacity 500 kN). As per int requirement, the test was carried out with single specimen for each condition (height). At the base of the prop, steel square plate of size 450 mm length and thickness of 20 mm is placed above the load cell. Test photographs are given in annexure 1. The deflections of prop were measured using a LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer). All the measuring devices were well calibrated at the time of testing as per standards. 4. TEST PROCEDURE The load was applied gradually with a load control system which was monitored using load cell. The load was increased until the failure of specimen. The load at failure and the mode of failure for each specimen were observed and tabulated in Table 2. Atypical test set-up of fully extended prop is shown in Figure 2. i D eS NAGESWARA RAO vrofessor AY apartment of el Enaneeing nda nstute of reeelogy Hadas y ‘Chennai - 600 036, India, Date: 13-02-2019 3LABORATORY TEST REPORT STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MADRAS, CHENNAI 600 036 Title: REPORT ON TESTING OF CT PROPS Client: M/S EXIMCORP INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED.

The fully extended 4.13m high props failed by buckling of Inner pipes and fully closed 2.38m high props failed by bending of pins and collar nut failure. According to clause 16.9.4 of BS 5975 ~ 2008, a minimum factor of safety against collapse of 2 is to be applied. Hence safe load for fully extended 4.18m high CT 410 SN props , based on the present tests carried out on 2 samples may be taken as. 17 kN and safe load for fully Collapsed 2.43m high CT 410 SN props , based on the present tests carried out on samples may be taken as 36 kN Annexure | ( —_— Dr. BNAGESWARA RAO Professor -)_ Department of Civil Engineering A) insian ostitute of Technology Madras y Chennai 600 036, Inala.
