Loads

Loads
• OSHA requires that a scaffold be designed
with a 4:1 safety factor.
• Light duty: 25 pounds per square foot
• Medium duty: 50 pounds per square foot
• Heavy Duty: 75 pounds per square foot.
• Material loads should be evenly distributed on
platform and not concentrated in one small
area.

Example
• A tube and clamp scaffold
• Three (3) levels – each (6.5 ft) 2 meters high
• One bay
• Bay length = 7 ft (2.25 meter)
• Bay Width = 5 ft (1.5 meter)
• One light duty working level (120 kg per
square meter). (25 pounds per square feet).
• Calculate the load

• TO calculate the dead Weight Of scaffold we must be aware
of all scaffold components as follows :-
• 1- posts - (vertical Pipe )
• 2- Bearers - (horizontal pipe perpendicular to the building
structure
• 3- Transverse braces - pipe which take a diagonal shape
when used
• 4- Right angle clamps
• 5- Swivel joint clamps
• 6- Toe boards
• 7- Runners
• 8 - Face bracing
• And now you can search about the data which you can
use it in scaffold building and then you can calculate the
live load and add it to the dead load to know the maximum
intended load in this scaffold per single leg.
