8、n prepared by Subcommittee MHE/3/13, Lifting equipment for performance, broadcast and similar applications. There are no specific British Standards that cover the design, manufacture and use of aluminium or steel trusses in the entertainment industry. It should be noted that other British Standards

9、may be relevant, depending on the application and intended use. In an attempt to improve safety and standards in the entertainment industry, the Entertainment Services and Technology Association (ESTA) of New York, USA, convened a series of meetings to prepare a draft standard for the American Natio

10、nal Standards Institute. The preparation of the draft standard was entrusted to the Truss Team working as part of the Rigging Work Group for the Technical Standards Committee (TSC) of ESTA. The Truss Team generally consisted of manufacturers and their structural engineering advisors. This British St

11、andard is based on the American draft standard. It has been assumed in the drafting of this British Standard that it is used by suitably qualified and experienced people and organizations. This British Standard provides a coordinated set of recommendations that can also be a guide to government and

12、other regulatory bodies and municipal authorities responsible for guarding and inspection of the equipment falling within its scope. Safety codes and standards are intended to enhance public safety. Revisions result from committee consideration of factors such as technology advances, new data, and c

13、hanging environmental and industry needs. Revisions do not imply that previous editions were not adequate. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British St

14、andard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 7 and a back cover.

BSI 07-2000 1 BS 7906-2:2000 1 Scope This British Standard provides recommendations on the use of aluminium and steel trusses, towers and associated structural components such as tower head blocks, sleeve blocks, bases, and corner bloc

16、ks in the entertainment industry. This British Standard covers truss beams and two dimensional ladder beams but does not cover individual, separate rigging hardware (half couplers, shackles, wire ropes, etc.). This British Standard covers a variety of uses that are confined to the entertainment indu

17、stry and applies to a range of structures subjected to normal atmospheric conditions. This British Standard does not cover the use of curved shell structures or structures subjected to severe thermal or chemical conditions. This British Standard is not intended to be used for the design of containme

18、nt vessels, airborne structures, or vessels, or for any application covered by another standard. Requirements for design and manufacture of the equipment covered by this British Standard are given in BS 7905-2. Wherever “truss” is referred to in this British Standard, it equally applies to “tower” a

19、nd vice versa. “Truss” also applies to associated structural components. 2 Normative references The following normative document contains provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this British Standard.

30、cturers guidelines and recommendations on usage should be complied with at all times unless otherwise recommended by a qualified person. If the proposed use is not covered by the manufacturers recommendations, a qualified person should be consulted. The allowable loads, bending moments and shear for

31、ces specified by the manufacturer should not be exceeded unless otherwise recommended by a qualified person. 5 Applied loads 5.1 The user should assess all loads on the fully assembled truss system. Full consideration should be made of the weight of all equipment, including, but not limited to, any

32、motors, light and sound equipment, multicore cables, follow-spot chairs, temporary personnel occupancy, and reactions from fall protection lines. 5.2 The user should consider the following: a) disposition of the loads on the trusses, and whether they are evenly balanced beneath the centreline of the

33、 truss, or, as is more often the case, whether they are mainly concentrated to one side or other; b) the increase in weight of the multicore cables towards the point of entry of the cables onto the trussing; c) the possible dynamic effects on the trusses from raising and lowering of the suspended eq

34、uipment, or from raising and lowering of the completed truss system; d) the wind forces that could be applied to the truss system during erection, when complete and when in an unloaded as well as the fully loaded state (it is essential that consideration is given to the wind forces from items attach

35、ed to the truss structure, e.g. banners, roof skins, sound and lighting equipment, projection screens, scenery); e) the effects of changes in temperature during use of the truss system, of the weight of any snow on the system or any covering, of the possibility of seismic action affecting the overal

36、l stability of the system, and the possibility of accidental impact damage when the system is operational; f) the most suitable way to attach hardware so as not to cause damage. 6 Handling 6.1 Individual modules and fully assembled trusses, and any ancillary components that form part of a complete s

37、ystem, should be carefully handled to avoid impact damage or abrasion. 6.2 Trusses should not be dragged. Trusses should be carried or moved on dollies or trolleys, and laid down carefully. 6.3 Trusses should be properly secured and supported during transportation, and should be stacked with spacers

38、 between successive heights to limit abrasion. 6.4 End connections should be protected from damage. 7 Erection 7.1 Detailed layout drawings and calculations should be prepared to cover each time the trussing is to be used, and should include the following information: a) accurate overall dimensions;

39、 b) distribution and/or location of applied loads; c) location of suspension points. 7.2 Care should be taken to ensure that trussing is assembled and erected correctly in accordance with the layout drawings and calculations. 7.3 Truss modules should be inspected before assembly in accordance with c

40、lause 8. Truss modules should be assembled, joined together, and erected by competent persons. 7.4 If the trusses are to be supported on towers that form part of the complete trussing system, a full assessment should be made, by a qualified person, of the load-carrying abilities of the ground on whi

41、ch the towers are to be erected. The ground should be improved if required to provide a suitable bearing surface. Spreader plates should be provided beneath the tower bases if required. 7.5 If the trusses are to be suspended from the roof beams or other structure within an existing building, or from

42、 a framework that is not part of the complete trussing system, then a full assessment should be made, by a qualified person, of the roof beams or other structure. The position of the suspension points should be moved to the optimum, as appropriate, or suitable strengthening measures should be made t

43、o the existing structure. NOTE Lifting and suspension of trusses should be carried out in accordance with BS 7906-1 (under preparation). 7.6 After initial erection, the truss assembly should be inspected by a competent person.4 BSI 07-2000 BS 7906-2:2000 8 Inspection NOTE This clause provides minimu

44、m inspection routines and guidelines for the truss user. Although every effort is made to provide a thorough list of situations and inspection criteria, a complete list is beyond the scope of this British Standard. 8.1 General Advice should be sought by the user for specific inspection routines from

45、 the manufacturer or a qualified person. Inspection routines should define the level and frequency of the inspections. 8.2 Inspection levels 8.2.1 Initial inspections When first acquired, either new or used, truss modules should be inspected, in accordance with 8.4, and a record of the inspection ma

46、intained. 8.2.2 Regular inspections Regular visual inspections should be carried out in accordance with 8.4. Regular inspections should be performed by a competent person and should be carried out prior to each use and after any incident that could damage the truss system. 8.2.3 Periodic inspections

47、 Periodic visual inspections should be carried out in accordance with 8.5, and a record of the inspections maintained. Periodic inspections should be performed by a qualified person and should be conducted at least once each year or in accordance with an inspection routine established by a qualified

48、 person. 8.3 Inspection frequency 8.3.1 Truss in regular service Truss modules in regular service should be subjected to regular and periodic inspections (see 8.2.2 and 8.2.3). 8.3.2 Truss not in regular service Truss modules not in regular service should be inspected with regard to the conditions o

49、f storage when returned to service. If the equipment has been stored correctly, an inspection should be carried out in accordance with 8.4. If the equipment has not been stored correctly, an inspection should be carried out in accordance with 8.5. 8.3.3 Permanent installations, stationary Periodic inspections should be carried out on all truss modules that are permanently installed in a stationary (non-movable) configuration. The frequency of inspections should be determined based on the prevalent conditions. 8.3.4 Permanent installations, moving Periodic i
