Maximum Grid Size Adopted : 1.2x1.6m

MATERIAL TECHNICAL DATA:

Wooden plank:
Weight of Board (38mm Thick) = 6.00Kg/m or 0.25KN/M2
Allowable Bending Moment = 0.48 KN-m

Aluminum Beam:
Allowable Bending Moment = 8.75 KN-m
Allowable Shear Force = 45.11 K

Vertical Standard:
Safe working Load = 35KN

1) Wooden plank :

DESIGN OF PLYWOOD SHEATING:

Width of wooden plank = 0.2 m

Span of wooden plank (B/w Secondary beam) = 0.2m

Loading Intensity 0.225 KN/M run:

Load intensity = 25 x 0.225 (width of strip) = 2.5KN/M

Live Load = 1.50 x 0.10 = 0.15KN/M

Wt of wooden plank = 0.25 x0.225 = 0.05 KN/M

Total load =2.7 KN/M

Check for planks:
Self-weight of plank = .25 kN/m2

Live load = 1.5 kN/m2

Load on plank W = (W * L2)/8

= (2.7 * 0.22)/8

= 0.0135 KN-M

Max allowable BM for 38mm thick plank as per TG 20:08 table 18 =.48 kNm

BM permissible = 0.48 kNm > 0.0135 kNm (Safe)

4) Checking Scaffolding Components:

Calculation of loading intensity (per M2)

Intensity loading = 25 KN/M2

Weight of the formwork = 0.5 KN/M2

Live Load = 1.5 KN/M2

TOTAL w = 27 KN/M2

2) SECONDARY BEAM (ALUMINIUM) :

UDL on secondary beam W = spacing x w W

= 0.2 x 27
L
= 5.4 KN/M
W = 5.4 KN/M, L=1.0M

. .
Maximum Bending Moment = = = 0.675KNM

0.675<8.75 KNM ------------------------ (SAFE)

. .
Maximum Shear Force = = = 2.7KN

2.7 < 45.11KN ------------------------ (SAFE)

.
Maximum Deflection max = = = 0.21mm

Allowable deflection = = 2.77 mm

0.21<2.77mm ------------------------ (SAFE)

3) PRIMARY BEAM (WALER):

UDL on Primary beam W = spacing x w W
= 1 x27
= 27 KN/M L

W=27 KN/M, L=1.0M

.
Maximum Bending Moment = = = 3.375KNM

3.375<11 KNM ------------------------ (SAFE)

.
Maximum Shear Force = = = 13.5KN

13.5 < 100KN ------------------------ (SAFE)

Maximum Deflection max = = = 0.4mm

Allowable deflection = = 2.77 mm

0.4< 2.77 mm ------------------------ (SAFE)

4) Vertical Standard:
Load intensity = 27 KN/M2
Maximum Grid size = 1.0 x 1.0 m
THEREFORE LOAD ON ONE VERTICAL STANDARD = 27 x 1.0 x 1.0
= 27KN
Allowable load on one leg = 35 KN (Standard)

27 < 35KN ------------------------ (SAFE)
