Load-Carrying Capacity of Scaffolds

Scaffold research — A review

“…Similar comparisons between 2D and 3D models were made by Lindner and Frölich [97] who compared their results with DIN 4421 [98] and by Gylltoft and Norelius [99], Gylltoft and Mroz [100] and Weinhold [101].…”

Structural modelling of support scaffold systems

“…The authors concluded that for large frames, unless torsion failure occurs, then the effects of joint eccentricity are insignificant. In the scaffold study by Gylltoft and Mroz [21], the braces were represented as truss members with pinned joints connected to the standards, and the connections between other members were modelled as short finite elements with nonlinear stiffness in all directions.…”

Experimental Investigation on the Load Capacity of a Scaffolding Fram

“…Peng et al [5,6] also did a non-linear analysis on scaffolding systems. Using ABAQUS, Mroz [7] analyzed perfectly straight shelf scaffolding, without imperfection taken into consideration. An Experimental study on a large full-scale scaffolding frame subjected to pattern loads with various load paths was performed by Weeser [8].…”
