Hi guys, i know this might sound a simple answer i just want your thoughts on the clarity - when calculating the loads on the scaffolds how do the designers generally calculate the live loads and dead loads - the love loads such as the materials is normally stacked on the outside 2 boards while the 2 or 3 boards on the inside will provide access for people - now because the load is concentrated on the 2 boards there is more weight placed on the outside standards so my question is this...do the designers split the weight over the inside and out for example 3kn per m2 = 1.5kN on the inside and out or do you calculate a higher percentage on the outside standards for this reason - in addtion the guardrails fixed on the outside of the scaffold means a higher dead load on the outside standards so is this taken into consideration as a concentrated loads over the outside standards accordingly
thanks guys but just clarity
