yep, just checked the standard link you attached and can't fault your point of fact. I will revise my documentation to refect this. Most useful fact of the week!

Thanks nvn Thats goood news, on the finished document I had converted the Fb load to Newtons, as the fixings tension loads are listed in KN, also added a safety factor of 1.4. What I haven't been able to get is a pull though force for the construction of plaster board wall the bracket is to...

attached drawing of calculation. Want to know Fb, load to top fixing, when a given load is applied to the end of the cantilever arm F Hope that makes more sense! Given torque calculations a try, assuming that the loads I'm applying are well under the bracket components failure rating of over...

appoligoies, left the pdf at work :confused: will attach tomorrow. Think I've solved it with two torque calculations but will attach them too just double check the math!

I have a cantilever bracket, fixed at one end, free at the other. One vertical element AB, 330mm long with a fixing at either end to a wall. One horizontal element CD, 375mm long. CD is fixed at 90deg to AB, 130mm from the top. A constant, downward load W=30kg, is applied to the end of CD...
