Advantages of Pipe Strut

Design of pipe strut is simpler; lesser chance of making

a mistake

Smaller diameter pipe strut will not be competitive

Larger diameter pipe strut can span longer and/or take

higher strut force without any intermediate restraint

(i.e. no king post, runner beam or splay; hence, higher

productivity)

No clear advantage in using higher grade steel because

design govern by buckling for long span strut

Concluding Remarks

Use of laced struts in Singapore is highly developed

and efficient because of our many years of experience

of MRT construction.

For pipe strut to be more competitive and productive, it

has to space wider and span longer without any

intermediate restraint.

This will naturally lead to the use of larger diameter

pipe struts.

However, pre-loading and connection design will be

more challenging.

Some clever device for manual or automatic pre-loading

and flexible connectors will have to be developed.
