Calculated Load
Dead Load = 0.04 kN/m2 x 0.900 m = 0.039 kN/m(board selfweight)
Live Load = 5.00 kN/m2 x 0.900 m = 4.500 kN/m
Wind Load = 0.10 kN/m2 x 0.450 m = 0.045 kN/m
Weight = 0.044 kN/m
Total UDL = 0.089 kN/m
Reaction = 0.089 kN/m x( 1.600 m) / 2 = 0.07 KN
Check Transom Subjected to Self weight, Live Load and Wind Load
MUDL = wL²/8
= 0.089 kN/m x( 1.600 m)2 / 8
MUDL = 0.028 kN-m < 0.93 kN-m Therefore: Safe

Maximum Anticipated Support Reaction= 4 kN

Capacity of Fitting = 6.10 kN x 2.00 No/s = 12.20 kN
= 4 kN < 12.20 kN Therefore: Safe
Provide 2-Couplers for the Top and Bottom Chord of the Ladder Beam.

Maximum Anticipated Leg Load = 12.00 kN

= 12.00 kN < 34.90 kN( 1500 m lift Standard for "Cuplock Scaffolding" )
Therefore: Safe
