Load Calculation Of Cuplock Scaffold

Load calculation of cup lock scaffold The cuplock scaffold is a type of modular scaffolding system that uses cups and ledgers to connect vertical and horizontal components. It is widely used for slab formwork, shoring, access, and load-bearing applications. To calculate the load capacity of a cup lock scaffold, you need to know the following information: The weight of the scaffold components, such as standards, ledgers, transoms, braces, planks, and jacks. The maximum intended load is the total weight of workers, tools, and materials on the scaffold. The scaffold weight capacity, which is the maximum load that the scaffold can safely support, The formula for calculating the scaffold load capacity is as follows: Load Capacity = (Scaffold Weight Capacity) / (Maximum Intended Load + Weight of Scaffold) For example, if you have a scaffold with a weight capacity of 20 kN/m2, a maximum intended load of 4.5 kN/m2, and a weight of scaffold of 1.5 kN/m2, then the load capacity is: Load Capacit...
