Scaffolding Design Calculation (Timber)

This document provides calculations for the design of a temporary scaffolding system to support the casting of a 400mm x 750mm ground beam. It analyzes the design of plywood planks, timber joists, and main supports. The plywood plank is designed to span 200mm with a maximum bending stress and deflection that meet standards. The timber joists are designed to span 1220mm with supports spaced at 200mm. Bending stress and deflection of the joists and main supports are within permissible limits. The proposed scaffolding spacing is 1220mm.
