Bent Guy Plate Angled Threaded Rods Substrate Anchoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing guy plates are limited in their ability to introduce forces into the substrate due to a restricted number of threaded rods, requiring multiple plates for larger construction projects, which increases complexity and logistics.
Innovation Solution
A guy plate design featuring a bent base plate with angled threaded sockets allows for increased pull-out strength and load-bearing capacity by enabling threaded rods to be inserted at various angles, improving anchoring efficiency and reducing the number of plates needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a flat base plate design is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the number of threaded rods that can be accommodated is limited and load-bearing capacity is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is bent into a three-dimensional profile with multiple planes at different angles, creating a curved surface that allows threaded sockets to be oriented in various directions. This curvature enables more threaded rods to be accommodated on a single plate while maintaining structural simplicity and ease of manufacture.
2Strength
If multiple guy plates are used to increase anchoring capacity, then the load-bearing capacity is improved, but the complexity and logistics effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple threaded sockets are integrated into a single bent base plate structure, combining the functionality of what would traditionally require multiple separate plates. This merging reduces the total number of components needed, simplifies logistics, and decreases assembly complexity while maintaining or enhancing anchoring capacity.
3Strength
If threaded rods are inserted only in limited directions, then the base plate design is simple, but the effectiveness of force introduction into the substrate is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate transitions from a two-dimensional flat surface to a three-dimensional bent structure with multiple planes at different angles. This dimensional change allows threaded sockets to be oriented in various spatial directions, enabling threaded rods to be inserted at multiple angles to optimize force introduction into the substrate while maintaining structural simplicity.
