N E T HORIZ. FORMING & SHORING SOLDIER BEAM Soldier Beam for use in forming and construction were developed in England years ago to reduce the need for scarce and high-priced lumber. They were brought to the U.S. and improved upon when the same conditions appeared in this construction market. Symons has improved on the original design to produce the "next generation", the most versatile, compatible construction beam system available. Soldiers are a strong, lightweight construction beam system with unlimited application possibilities. They are truly the "next generation" because of their unique hole patterns which make them adaptable to almost any configuration. When used in conjunction with their accessories, Soldiers can be braces, horizontal shore, vertical shores, strongbacks, walers, cantilever stiffbacks, trusses and many other forming components. Soldiers are compatible with all Symons Forming Systems. They can be the waler and strongback system for Steel- Ply ® , or Versiform ® ; they can be the one-sided bracing or cantilever stiffbacks for Max-A-Form ® ; they can be the truss and shoring for custom applications. Soldiers are double, 9", specially formed channels of 10 gauge, high strength steel. The end plates are perpendicular to the channels. When bolted together end-to-end with four ¾" × 2" Speed Bolts, the Soldiers become a straight, continuous beam which develops its full strength through the connection. Hole patterns in all faces of the channels and in the end plates accommodate the accessories and permit assembly in many configurations. Soldiers are lightweight and strong. They are as light as double 5" channels and as strong as double 8" channels. The engineering data confirms the impressive strength- to-weight ratio of Symons Soldiers. Soldiers Feature: Unique hole pattern permits a wide variety of assembly configurations. All accessories bolt to the Soldier with ¾" × 2" Speed Bolt. Soldier is fabricated with strong, but lightweight 50 ksi steel. Accessories are bolted directly to the Soldier at any point along web. End-to-end connection provides same moment capacity as beam. A complete line of accessories and hardware are available. • • • • • • SOLDIER BEAM AS A BRACE SOLDIER BEAM AS A POST SHORE SOLDIER BEAM AS A BEAM
