Understanding Truss Loads, Outdoor Structures, and Rigging Math
Presenters: Eric Rouse and Elmer Veith
12:00 – 6:00 p.m.
6 ETCP renewal credits
From a straight run of truss rigged in a ballroom to an outdoor festival stage in front of an audience of thousands, entertainment rigging takes many forms and is used in countless ways. No matter what the project, there are fundamental principles that must be followed. Preparation is key to keeping our crews and our audiences safe.
This session will go through the design considerations that go into selecting the right equipment for the project, working with engineers and the production rigger to ensure the system will meet the requirements, and delve into the math that needs to be worked through to back all of that up.
EPS is committed to being a leader in educating and sharing information with the entertainment workforce. EPS has a series of classes on our educational website https://eps.podia.com/. In the Online Training section there is a series of low cost individual web-based sessions that cover topics such as Forces, Hardware, Rigging Math, and Codes and Standards. These sessions qualify for ETCP renewal credits. Free EPS Sessions are a series of fun and informative sessions that have a wide range of topics. Crowd favorites include a Stunt Rigging Session, and the Throwback Series that rekindles our very popular truss and ground support series with partners from Reliable Designs and Clark Reder Engineering.
