Hi All,
Can anyone tell me if the 'working moment of resistance' of timber scaffold boards in table 18 of TG20:08 should be compared with factored loads?
Design of other scaffolding components (tubes, couplers etc) is based on safe load capacities (factor of safety included in capacity given) but I believe that the timber board strengths have no safety factor included...am I correct????
Thanks a million.
