Shoring: a tour
A tour of Shoring in Arkon One: Load per leg versus allowable capacity for every shoring layout and the controls you will use most.
The steps, written out
- Open Shoring from the Operations section of the left menu.
- Read the summary tiles at the top: Layouts, Active (not stripped), Awaiting removal sign-off, Over 85% utilised.
- Read each row: Layout, Job, Shore type, Design load (psf), Spacing, Load / leg.
- Use the New layout button at the top of the page.
Tip
The layout page calculates the Tributary area per leg (X x Y), the Load per leg (design psf x tributary area), the Utilisation (load / allowable capacity), the capacity ratio and, with an area, the legs required against the legs provided. It is a schematic check only: follow the engineer's stamped drawing. On Shoring the utilisation bar is load per leg divided by allowable leg capacity. The capacity ratio is the inverse (capacity / load) compared with the Required capacity ratio: Shoring can only be stripped after the engineer of record approves the removal. Until then the layout shows Awaiting engineer sign-off and cannot be marked Stripped (it stays at its previous status, or Poured).
