The Investigation of Stability Analysis of Tube and Coupler Scaffold

Article Preview

Abstract:

The tube and coupled scaffold is widely used in the construction of building, bridge, sports stadium etc, due to the advantage of easily assembling, high load capacity and good overall stiffness. However as a very important temporary structure in the construction, the semi-empirical method has been used for the calculation of ultimate load capacity (ULC), whether the calculation results are acceptable is not given too much attention. To ascertain the safety of using process, the FEM code-Midas is used to investigate and compare the stability and ultimate load analysis method of scaffold, and the impacting factors, such as the span, step distance, height, and width of scaffold, are discussed, the varying process and trend is described in this paper.
