Hanger Clearance Table

This table is used at two stages during the creation of a support (with steelwork). First when initially applying a configuration to deduce the lengths of the supporting members, and again when the profiles have been selected to maintain the minimum clearance between hanger attachment points and supporting member ends. There are three types of clearance code, depending on the type of joint at the member end:
|
A1 |
Free end (no joint) before profiles set |
|---|---|
|
A2 |
Free end after profiles set |
|
B |
Perpendicular joint |
|
C1 |
Angled end (braced free end - only really used in the ‘Braced Cantilever’ type configuration) before profiles set |
|
C2 |
Angled end after profiles set |
The following hierarchy is mandatory for the Hanger Clearance Table:
