▪ It is strictly forbidden to weld Doka products – in par-
ticular anchoring/tying components, suspension
components, connector components and castings
etc. – or otherwise subject them to heating.
Welding causes serious change in the microstruc-
ture of the materials from which these components
are made. This leads to a dramatic drop in the failure
load, representing a very great risk to safety.
It is permissible to cut individual tie rods to length
with metal cutting discs (introduction of heat at the
end of the rod only), but it is important to ensure that
flying sparks do not heat and thus damage other tie
rods.
The only articles which are allowed to be welded are
those for which the Doka literature expressly points
out that welding is permitted.

The struts are available in 3 different lengths for inter-

frame spacings of 1.00m, 1.50m and 2.00m.

When inter-frame spacing is 1 m, it is not pos-

skilled person, regarding the foundation. Particular
attention must be paid here to the ground-bearing
pressure!
▪ Intermediate anchoring planes may be necessary
while the towers are being erected.
▪ The calculated values are in line with the type test for

9661-232-01
'Load-bearing tower Staxo 40', the Calculation guide
'Load-bearing tower Staxo 40' and thus also with
EN 12812 and EN 1993.
▪ In all cases which differ from the stated boundary
conditions, the type-test or the Calculation Guide
must be used as the basis for the dimensioning cal-

culation, to ensure adequate stability.
Such deviations may be due to:
- variations in height Unbraced Braced
- different wind loads
- different inter-frame spacings
- additional horizontal loads
- single legs
- larger screw-jack extension lengths 98024-323-01

98024-302-01
- Inclined load-bearing tower
- low vertical loads on free-standing systems
▪ On multi-plane towers with different inter-frame a a

spaces, it is always the smallest inter-frame space

that determines the design load.

Inclination adjustment
▪ Inclination adjusted with a centering strip (e.g. hexa-
gon bolt M20x230) or Swivel bearing plate for Screw
jack U-head = Screw-jack U-head not restrained.
▪ Inclination adjusted with a wooden wedge or 'Com-
pensating plate' = no effect on the restraint situation.
- e.g. with Wedge for screw jack U-head or Staxo
wedge support

Founding with the 'Compensating plate'

NOTICE
▪ The 'Compensating plate' must be placed
on concrete only.
▪ For the proof against slippage between the
Compensating plate and the concrete, a
friction coefficient of 0.33 must be assumed.
