Study on the Strength of Different Door-Type Structure of Attached Type Lifting Scaffold

Abstract:

Attached type lifting scaffold is an important engineering machine which is used for building construction. In this paper, the strength of door-type structure of attached type lifting scaffold is studied. The diagonal brace is removed in the new structure and replaced with two short braces. The two type structure elastic FE models are founded and ANSYS software is used to compute the stress and deformation. The results are compared. The comparison study shows the new structure’ strength and stiffness are both better than the old one. Therefore, the new structure of door-type frame is much better than the old structure not only in cost-saving but also in easy through.
