🔍 Key Concepts

• Shoring should place wood in compression, not bending or shear. • The force along each shore should push directly through the length of the shore into the strongback or pad. • Think about which drawing gives the straightest load path from the deck to the object being supported, with the least chance of slipping.

💭 Think About

• In which option do the arrows (forces) line up most closely with the centerline of each shore, instead of trying to push it sideways? • Which figure shows the shores bearing solidly against the flat face of the object, rather than concentrating the load at an edge or corner? • If the supported object settles or sags, in which arrangement are the shores most likely to stay in place and continue carrying the load instead of kicking out?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which picture keeps the shores mainly in compression along their length (no significant sideways component). • Check that the contact points are on strong, flat surfaces of both the deck and the object, not on an edge where the wood could crush or slip. • Confirm the forces from both shores meet symmetrically on the object so the load is evenly distributed and doesn’t tend to roll or twist it.
