checked,
of the couplers for Gravity Load Analysis & a Safety Factor of 1.6 shall be
considered for Wind Load Analysis of Bracing & Tie
members
Assumptions
* Steel Scaffold Tube of 48.3mm Outer diameter with 4mm wall thickness
conforming to EN 39 shall be used for all framing members of
Scaffold. The Minimum yield strength of the tube shall be 235 N/mm² with a
modulus of elasticity of 210,000 Mpa.
The maximum available length of the Scaffold Tube is 6.4m and is available in
different shorter lengths as per the job requirements.
A strength increase factor of 1.10 is considered over the minimum yield
strength of 235N/mm² for tubes, since the value of Minimum
Yield strength of the tube as per attached vendor test report and test
conducted by Independent testing company are greater than
430N/mm² í.e 82% higher (Refer to sheet no. X of the attached Material
datasheet and Test results).
* Scaffold Planks shall be LVL Laminated Veneer Lumber, 230mm wide and 38mm
thick.
The Safe Bending Capacity of Planks is 1.03 kN.m & EI = 15kNm as per the
manufacturer's datasheet determined in accordance with
ANSI A10.8 - 2001 (App C) (Refer to sheet no. X of the attached Material
datasheet and Test results).
* The scaffolding shall be checked for wind loading, in accordance with ASCE 7-
05 and the Saudi Aramco Scaffold Safety Handbook.
* The 3-second gust Basic Wind Speed as specified in SAES -A-112 for site
location for 10 year mean recurrence interval per ASCE 7-05
(Table C6-3) shall be considered.
* An Importance factor of 1.0 and Directionality factor of 0.95 shall be used.
* All Tributary wind areas shall be increased an additional 5% to allow for
fittings & overlaps.
* The wind load analysis shall be done for the worst case directions with the
largest projected area. The wind forces without any
shielding shall be applied to the entire Scaffold Structure including the
Toeboards, Handrails, Bracings, Ladder accesses etc.
* The worst case have been considered of wind direction during wind load
analysis.

The short Tubes are connected to the Steel Beam Using a pair of Girder

Calculation of Wind
Loads for Bracing.
All the Bracing shall be designed purely for Wind Load only.
Assumption:
1) The scaffold is completely unsheeted.The wind pressure on the scaffold shall
be in accordance with ASCE 7-05
2) The worst case for wind analysis is assumed to be when the direction of wind
incident normal to the maximum projected area of the
scaffold with no wind shielding considered.
3) It is assumed that no gravity loads are transmitted through the bracing hence
we shall design Bracing purely for Wind Loads only
4) Tributary Area shall be increased by 5% for fittings & overlaps etc.
Calculations:-
V= Basic Wind Speed = 165 kph = 45.83
m/s (Jizan Area)
As per the revised recommendations of CSM II-2 Scaffolding, the wind speed
for 10 years MRI as per ASCE 7-05 can be used.
Conversion factor for 10 years MRI as per ASCE 7 -05 (Table C6-3) =
0.84
Hence, Wind Velocity = 45.83 m/s
