Scaffolding Structure Design
Scaffolding, or staging, is a temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, maintenance and repair of buildings, bridges and all other man-made structures. Scaffolding is also used in adapted forms for formwork and shoring, grandstand seating, concert stages, access/viewing towers, exhibition stands, ski ramps, half pipes and art projects.
Depending on their use, scaffolds may be categorised as access scaffolds or support scaffolds. Access scaffolds are used to support light to moderate loads from labourers, small construction material and equipment for safe working space. They are usually attached to buildings with ties and only one bay wide. Support scaffolds, also sometimes called falsework, are subjected to heavy loads, for example, concrete weight in the formwork.
Software for a Quick and Effective Analysis
In both cases, a powerful software can make your calculations much easier and quicker. Analyse complex structures with ease and speed as you design an efficient and cost-effective scaffold structures. With easy to read results, you'll be able to seamlessly compare the connection forces to manufacturer capacity tables in a matter of minutes. From quick checks to complex projects, with 2D and 3D structural analysis you can model your scaffold or staging structures quick and easy. This scaffolding software is extremely user friendly so you can get all your reaction and connection results with just 1 hour of training!
