“…The scaffold structure could be of various types, such as cup lock, ring lock, Kwik stage, modular, or connector. System scaffolding, also known as modular scaffolding, consisted of horizontal and vertical components, including vertical tubes, horizontal tubes, pre-engineered joints, and supports [15]. It required proper support, diagonal bracing, and secure connections between components from compatible suppliers [21].…”

The construction industry heavily relies on scaffolding to facilitate work at elevated heights. This study presents a new and innovative design for a collapsible, multifunctional scaffold that is suitable for both flat and irregular surfaces. The design of the scaffold was evaluated using a Likert scale survey, which revealed high acceptability across all evaluated categories. The scaffold was fabricated using a combination of steel and aluminum materials and designed using computer-aided design CAD software. The fabrication process, portability, performance, and safety of a prototype scaffold were thoroughly assessed. The evaluation methodology employed a Likert-scale questionnaire and a descriptive research approach. A total of 30 engineers, architects, and construction laborers participated in the evaluation, assessing four essential aspects of the scaffold. The results indicated a consistently high level of acceptability, with weighted mean scores ranging from 4.69 to 4.94 out of a maximum score of 5.0 in all categories. The design parameters of the scaffold, such as the footing mechanism and working platform design, were determined based on industry standards and the intended usage of the scaffold. However, this study did not include a sensitivity analysis to explore the impact of different parameter values on the scaffold's performance. This study introduces a collapsible, multifunctional scaffold that effectively addresses the limitations of traditional scaffolds by offering enhanced portability, safety, and adaptability to flat and irregular surfaces. The widespread adoption of this scaffold design is expected to have significant implications for the construction industry, improving productivity and safety in construction projects.

“…Ampatzis et al [175] suggested a useful methodology for determining the safety factor of spatial aluminium frame structures against elastoplastic collapse. He et al [176] proposed a novel modular support structure assembled by a foldable plane frame and joints suitable for temporary structures. Finally, the hysteresis behaviour of aluminium shear panels has been investigated, demonstrating their potential as dissipative devices in seismic resistant structures [177][178][179].…”

“…Recent development however has focused on folded structures with more complex geometric plate arrangements which can offer additional advantageous performance characteristics [1,2,3]. Deployable folded plate structures utilise folded plate arrangements with kinematic behaviours that allow for a very high speed of erection [4,5,6,7]. Modular and prefabricated folded plate structures utilise repetitious or rationalised folded plate arrangements to introduce cost-effective manufacture and streamlined assembly [8,9,10].…”
