Construction elements for

modern building technology
Modern architecture
The current trend in modern
architecture is, by the skilful
use of steel and glass, to
present large-scale buildings
as airy, futuristic constructions
soaring skywards.
Outstanding features of this
style of building are roofs that
seemingly float on air, with
a filigree supporting framework and skilfully suspended
facades.
The availability of special,
easily integrated fastening and
support elements is a prerequisite for the optimum
implementation of this form
of construction. The special
tension rod and compression
strut systems, as integral elements in the building design,
must guarantee maximum
functionality and safety. At
the same time they must
blend into the whole construction as clearly visible
design elements with aesthetic appeal.
mconnect product program
The product range of mconnect tension rod and compression strut systems was
specially developed for the
smooth fulfilment of these
tasks.
The products meet the toughest demands and, due to their
wide-ranging applicability, are
of great practical benefit to
architects,
construction engineers
construction companies
Tension rod and compression
strut systems
The mconnect tension rod
systems are the ideal components to distribute tension forces in an economical and,
at the same time, elegant
manner. They are suited to
all types of suspension and
anchoring. Connection plates
(circular disks) and connecting
lugs provide optimum additional features.
The mconnect compression
strut systems are able to bear
tension forces, but are also
specially designed to take up
and distribute compression
forces. They are ideally suited
to act as stabilizing elements
and supports, suspension
components on simultaneous
compression loads and compression struts in frame construction.
By combining compression
strut and tension rod systems,
additional construction possibilities are available.

Elegant designs of
lightweight construction
The highest demands were
made in the design and finish
of the components. This also
applies to structural connections,
such as the connection lugs,
whereby functionality is to be
expressed through the corresponding design.
In line with the principle
design follows function the
distribution of material corresponds to FE (finite element)
calculated operational stresses,
whereby for the fork heads,
the component function finds
convincing expression in the
optimized droplet shape. The
cap nuts consistently follow
the form of the fork heads and
by a smooth transition seem
to merge with the connecting
tension rod.
Design elements of
significance
As clearly visible elements,
the mconnect tension rod
and compression strut systems

are of crucial significance
in the representative design
of the building. They blend
easily, in a filigree fashion,
into the sophisticated architecture and shape the style

of the structure.

The mconnect construction

elements are designed strictly
according to the application
demands. In this way they
offer an economical and at
the same time attractive
solution to a wide range of
tasks in the field of construction.
As the distribution of material corresponds to the loads
imposed, the high-tensile
06
materials are exploited to

the optimum level.
This permits lightweight construction at maximum loading
capacity.
The modular system and
corresponding enginering software further facilitate implementation and speed up the
design and construction cycle.

The application possibilities
of the mconnect tension
rod and compression strut
systems are as diverse as the

System elements
FORK HEADS
Only a few components are
required for the formation
of mconnect tension rod and
compression strut systems.
The fork heads are of crucial
importance in the system as
connections for the structural
attachments (see p. 14).
The operational load capacity
of the fork heads is approved,
both for tensile and compression loads. They are correspondingly designated for use
in tension rod and compression strut systems.
A quenched and tempered
steel casting, manufactured in
a quality lost-wax investment
process, bestows the component with great strength and
excellent cold tenecity.
For maximum corrosion protection of the threaded connection, the tapped hole
takes the form of a pocket
not a drilled-through hole.

CONNECTING SLEEVES
The mconnect sleeves are
used as connecting parts
between the tension rods if
the system length, e.g. above
12 m, is to be extended.
Through standardised design
with left-hand/right-hand threads,
they function as a turnbuckle
at the same time.
CONNECTING SLEEVES
WITH LUGS
The connecting sleeves can be
fitted with suspension lugs
for load-bearing in horizontally
arranged tension rod systems
(underbracing).

The compression resistance N given is calculated according to DIN EN 1993. The static resistance must be verified for each critical load
case. To verify static resistance the acting loads are multiplied by the partial safety factors or combination factors. Static resistance is given if
the values calculated in this manner do not exceed the compression resistance of the compression bar selected.

Connection plates and

Structural attachments
CONNECTION PLATES
The mconnect connecting
plates are required in frame
constructions as central junction points. In standard designs
three or four tension rods can
be attached.
For selection according to a

particular design the basic
shapes, e.g. rectangular or
circular, are offered as standard. Variants can however
be supplied.
To guarantee a secure load

distribution, only mconnect
connecting plates with the
material quality and dimensions
corresponding to calculations
should be implemented.
The direction of forces always
passes through the junction
point an angle displacement
of 5 % is permissible.

STRUCTURAL ATTACHMENTS
As structural attachments,
connection lugs are required
with geometries and properties
which meet both building
requirements and the size
and nature of the loads given.
For safe load-bearing by the
tension rod or compression
strut systems, strict observance of the specifications
regarding material quality and
dimensions must be guaranteed. The exclusive use of
mconnect connection lugs is
recommended.
The specifications for welding

seams (p. 26) must also be
strictly followed.
As standard solutions, the
basic shapes for the most
important installation situations are suggested in our
catalog for selection according to a particular design.
Variants can also be supplied.

and have undergone expert
scrutiny by the Institute for
Structural Steel Engineering
at the University of Brunswick
and have been certified by
the German Institute of
Structural Engineering in
Berlin under the number
Z-14.4-441 of 12.01.2004
and comply with DIN 18800.

Rational application
via modular system
At the conception of the
mconnect product program,
rational application stood at
the forefront together with
functionality and design:
simple engineering, simple
application and simple installation.
A prerequisite was to conceive the product range as a
modular system.
Standardised according to
uniform criteria, the individual
components are assembled
herein as modules. Through
strict classification as to
loads and connection geometries, the components within a load group are compatible with regard to connections. They can consequently
be assembled at will to form
functional load chains. At the
same time the combination of
components of different loadbearing capacity is excluded.

For projects, engineering can
be executed very easily and
safely using this catalog or,
even more conveniently, by
electronic means with our
CONNCAD software program
(see p. 23).

As integrated elements in
suspension and support constructions, the mconnectload chains fulfil important
tasks in building structures.
The range of applications is
considerable and the multiple
combination possibilities of
individual components are
designed to fulfil almost all
practical demands.
TENSION RESISTANCE

NR,d [kN]
Verification of static
resistance
For each critical load case,
the verification of static
resistance shall be determined:
Examples for typical load
cases:
- permanent loads
- permanent loads plus one
leading variable load
- permanent loads plus one
leading variable load and
other variable loads
For the verification of static

resistance, the acting loads
has to be multiplied with the
relevant partial factor resp.
factor of combination (s. DIN
EN 1990, Annex A1 resp.
national annexes).
The static resistance is given,
when the above calculated
values do not exceed the
tension resistance NRd of the
selected thread size.

Direct export to various

CAD programs
For the swift and simple

design and planning of
mconnect tension rod and
compression strut systems,
the user has our design
and engineering software
CONNCAD at his disposal.
The basis of this special userfriendly program is the
mconnect modular system
(p. 21) and the coding of
components (p. 24).
CONNCAD helps to save
time and cut costs. Just a
few mouse clicks suffice to
generate
ready-to-order
design documentation, to
scale and in the required
detail.
By way of the appropriate
interfaces the designs can be
fed into common CAD programs. The usual time and
effort spent on planning is
thereby reduced to a minimum. CONNCAD is available on our homepage under
www.mconnect.eu or for
downloading free of charge.
Individual project administration as

a tree structure
In addition our components

are now part of versions 16.0
and 16.1 of Tekla Structures.
Brief instructions can be
found at www.mconnect.eu or

Installation instructions
are of crucial significance as
load-bearing components for
the load-bearing capacity of
the whole construction.
Observation of the following
instructions is a prerequisite
for trouble-free functioning.
If the components in the tension rod system are subsequently subjected to thermal
or mechanical treatment, the
building supervision certification loses its validity.
1. Delivery condition
1.1. The mconnect tension rod
and
compression
strut
systems are preassembled
and supplied as ready-toinstall load chains with the
corresponding markings.
1.2. If connection lugs are
also supplied, they are
separately marked with the
installation position and tied
to the tension rod system
with binding wire.
1.3. To guarantee the given

load capacity of the connection lugs, the welding specifications under Point 3 of these
instructions must be strictly
adhered to.
3.1. The minimum welding

seam thickness (a) for
connection of the lug to a
supporting structure depends
on the shape of the
connection lug and the angle
of load distribution.
2. Packaging
2.1. Wooden laths are used
to protect the tension rod
systems from damage. The
delivery packages are wrapped in foil as protection
against dust and dirt.
Wooden crates are used for
the delivery of individual
components.
2.2. On delivery the components must be inspected for
transport damage and protected against moisture by storage
in closed rooms until assembly.
3. Welding procedure for
connection lugs
The following procedure is
recommended when welding
connection lugs:
3.2. The a dimensions

according to lug type are
given in the table.
3.6. Spot welds are to be

made with an intermediate
layer temperature 250C.
3.7. Delays in welding are to
be avoided by the appropriate welding sequence (see
Fig. 1)
3.8. The connection lugs are
always to be welded all around.
3.3. Connection lugs for tension rod systems M56x4

(corresponding to see thickness 35mm) must be
preheated to approx. 100C.
3.4. Only approved welding
filler metals (-stamp), preferably base electrodes (e.g.
EN499; E 42 5 B4 2 H5) are
permissible.
3.5. Vertical seams are only
to be welded using the
appropriate welding filler
metals (e.g. EN499: E38 0 RC
1 1).

4. Installation
The following procedure is to be followed when installing the
preassembled load chains:
4.7. To ensure minimum engagement depths, the tension rod

thread must be fully covered by the tightened cap nuts. If no
cap nuts are ordered, the visible thread length must not
exceed the catalog dimension L (p. 10) of the cap nut.
4.1. Before installation it is advisable to check that the installation dimensions correspond with the lengths delivered.
System length
Installation length
4.2. Loosen cap nuts, screwing them back a little.

4.8. Tighten the cap nuts. The screw connections are supplied
with permanently elastic, silicon-free sealing material. If the
tension rod systems are to be used in the open, the gap
between cap nut and tension rod should be filled with a
suitable sealant.
4.3. Remove the circlips on the pins at the forked ends
and extract the pins.
4.4. Position the fork heads on the connection lugs and make
the pin connections. Sudden loading of the fork heads is not
permissible.
4.5. If length adjustment is required, it is only to be made by
rotating the tension rod; in this way the engagement depths
of the left-hand/right-hand thread are kept equal and the
maximum adjustment possibility is maintained.
4.6. For the proper functioning of the tension rod, the end
connection must be free of play. Therefore sufficient prestress
must be applied by rotation of the rod. It is recommended to
turn both ends at the same time.
