DESIGN OF STEEL BRACKET FOR THE STEEL SCAFFOLDING

Project at : 111 KOON SENG

300 S = 1000 mm
Bracket Detail
A B

2 M16 bolts

Angle 65 mm x 65 mm x 5 mm thk
10mm thk Base Plate
All welding at joints are 6mm full fillet weld
Existing Wall 200mm thick
1700 mm

Tie Back
TECHNICAL DATA: BS 5950-2000 Bolt at Every 3
Bays 2 Lifts
Allowable stress of steel fs = 165 N/mm2

Lever Arm of the supports la = 0.30 M

H = 22.0M
Dist. Of point load from the support A k =S/2+0.3= 0.80M 11 Lifts

Length of horizontal member of bracket L = 1.70M

LOADING CONSIDERATION: Height of Roof Level H= 22.0M

Dead Load:
Standards 2 x 29.00 Kg/No. = 58.00 Kg
Transions 12 x 42.00 Kg/No. = 504.00 Kg
Base Jack 2 x 3.60 Kg/No. = 7.20 Kg Cantilever
Joint Pin 2 x 0.53 Kg/No. = 1.06 Kg Bracket
G. I. Pipe 4 x 10.00 Kg/No. = 40.00 Kg
Laying at
Clamps 4 x 0.60 Kg/No. = 2.40 Kg
Traead Board 60 x 6.50 Kg/No. = 390.00 Kg
2nd storey
Bracket Detail 1 x 20.00 Kg/No. = 20.00 Kg
Wall Tie 1 x 1.00 Kg/No. = 1.00 Kg

Dead Load DL = 1023.66 Kg

Live Load: LL = 150 Kg
Sketch of the Scaffolds Arrangement
Superimposed Load = 1.4DL + 1.6LL = 1673.12 Kg= 1.67 ton

Therefore System Load 16.73 KN

 Check the Force on the Wall Tie
Pulling Force Due to Vertical Load on the Wall Tie

Wall ties to be provided at every 5M Summation of Moments about C =0 H = 5M

c/c Vertically.
The pulling force on Wall Tie P = Ps*L/H = 10.20 KN
Note : Because sufficient wall tie is
Used cross bracing is not necessary Allowable force on the wall tie Fa = 13 KN
To be provided to the face of the
Scaffold Since P is less than the allowable pull Fa OK

Each steel bracket has to withstand the vertical Load W = 16.73 KN

Moment about A : Mu = W x k/4 = 3.35 KN-M without torsion cable provided

There fore Ra = Mu / la = 11.15 KN

There arc two fastening bolts each bolt is to lake the pull of 5.58 KN

Recommendation : 2 * M 16 Cast in bolts have he allowable tension of 70.00 KN

Since Ra = 11.15 KN which is less than 36.00 KN for 2 x 16 mm dia. Anchor bolts OK

The tie back torsion cable is not needed in this case

Check on the Bracket Steel Section Members Sizes

a. Without Tie Back Torsion Cable Mxx = W*L = 11.15 KN-M

Therefore Zxx = 67600.4 mm3 = 67.600353 cm3

Sizes used are 50 mm * 50 mm * 5mm thk angles to fabricate the bracket

lxx = 25.3 cm4 Cx = Cy = 1.77 cm Axx = 6.367 cm2 y"= 4.48 cm

Section Modulus for thr frame Zc = (2* lxx + 2 * Axx*y'^2)/y" = = 68 cm3

Compressive force on the member Pc = 53.52 KN Lc = 1.035 M iy = 2.3 cm

Therefore compressive stress fsc = 84.05 N/mm2 Le/iy = 45 From Handbook

Allowable compressive stress fc = 190 N/mm2 Since the allowable compression stress is greater than fsc OK
