#HANGING SCAFFOLDING DESIGN SOFTWARE#

Software is never used in isolation РІР‚вЂњ always as part of a widerР”Р„ selection of the most common codes of practice we use to complete our designs are: Is used to assess the scaffold under applied load cases this is either aР”СћD or 3D frame with characterised members, nodes and supports. Illustrated in the example project below) structural analysis software

Where appropriate (for example temporary roof structures, as.

Our calculation package is regularly approved by clients and checkers with no requests for additional checks, information or re-analysis during the approval process.

Load combinations and load paths have been checked, without ambiguity orР”Вiscrepancy. So that they can be easily followed and interpreted. The design calculationsР”Р„re cross-referenced to the design drawings and design risk assessment Completed in accordance with current British andР”В®uropean Codes of Practice. If required, 48.3 will check the ground conditions and design suitable footings and foundations, we will also check the permanent structure under the temporary load case induced by the scaffold.Р”Р„ccurate. This is not strictly necessary to prove the adequacy of the scaffold itself, but since the integrity of the scaffold is generally reliant upon safe transmittal of such loads, calculation of them is necessary to allow the responsible parties to check the supporting / adjacent structures. Identification of loads imparted by the scaffold into foundations / adjacent structures.An evaluation of the stability and the rigidity of the scaffold structure, ensuring that adequate factors of safety are maintained.A check of the capacities of the scaffold components to sustain the loads and combinations of loads imposed upon them.An assessment of the loading conditions and combinations on the structure (dead, live, wind, snow load etc.).What do scaffold design calculations have to include?Р”В®xact calculation methods and design approaches can vary, but the basic requirement of any scaffold design calculation must include all of the following: 'Competent evidence' is therefore the minimum standard required of any scaffold design calculations, in order to 'prove' the strength and stability of the designed scaffold structure.Absolute mathematical proof is typically not feasible in either a practical or an economical sense, due to the nature of temporary works and engineering in general.

'Substantiate (verb) : to establish by proof or competent evidence'.(Working at Height Regulations 2005, Schedule 3 Part 2) it is assembled in conformity with a generally recognised standard configuration.a note of the calculations, covering the structural arrangements contemplated, is available or.Strength and stability calculations for scaffolding shall be carried out unless.
