( 11 rows of scaffold tubes at 1.35 m c/c in the longitudinal direction under the
13.75 metres bridge span)
Suggested Solution
(a) Loading
Self-weights (i) scaffolding = 0.5kN/m2
(ii) formwork = 0.5kN/m2
N.B. check when final arrangement is known.
Imposed loads (i) reinforced concrete deck at 2500 kg/m3 = 11.25kN/m2
(ii) construction operations
= 1.5kN/m2
Environmental loads- see Wind loading (d)
Total vertical load on standards is 11.25 + 1.5 + 1.0 = 13.75kN/m2
(b) Layout of standards
Primary beams are 225 x 75 class SC3 timber at 1.25m centres. (Trial dimensions which
appear reasonable are selected at this stage.)
use 1.35m (longitudinal) x 1.25m (transverse) grid
(c) Lacing
To allow for the effect of continuity of the primary beam on support reactions increase
the applied vertical load by 10%. To allow for the vertical loads induced by horizontal loads
increase the applied vertical loads by, say, 2%.
Estimate of total vertical load on standards = 13.75 x 1.12 = 15.4kN/m2
Design load per standard = 15.4 x 1.35 x 1.25
= 25.99kN
