Propped Cantilever Design
Deflection under wind load will often restrict the maximum loading. Deflection can be reduced considerably by using the windposts as a ‘propped cantilever’ with a heavy-duty base connection. While this method must be used for parapet/spandrel windposts, the larger base connection can be difficult to accommodate. Our Technical Design team will be happy to advise you on the appropriate base plate connection to suit your exacting circumstances.
