Photo 1: To show that flexible end fittings, such as a hinged base, can make a difference in a strut’s working load limit, equal weights were placed at the top of each steel band. (The band on the right has V-shaped end fixtures at the top and is wide open at the bottom. The band on the left has rigid, fixed end fittings.) The steel band that has the rigid end fittings (similar to fixed ends for struts that are used in a trench rescue application) holds up well. The other band buckles under the same weight. Without rigid ends, the steel band is allowed to move and flex under the load.
Ron Moore explains how four factors regarding the use of a strut for a vehicle rescue can affect the working load limit of the strut.
