SCAFFOLDING
DEFINITION
1.” A temporary structure form which persons can gain
access to a place in order to carry out building
operation”

2. “ A temporary frame usually constructed from steel or

aluminium alloy tubes clipped or coupled together to
provide a means of access to high – level working
areas as well as providing as a safe platform form
which to work.”
 Function

1. As a working platform
- so that the worker can stand on the platform do the
work easily and safely
2. As a platform for placing material and logistic needed
by the workers to carry out their job
3. As a platform and walking passage
-scaffolding support the platform that been used by the
worker as their walking path to transport the material &
logistic
2 Basic of scaffolding are as follows:

a) Putlog scaffold
- Single row of uprights / standards set outside the perimeter of the building.
- It’s a partly supported by the structure

b) Independent scaffolds
- It have 2 rows of standards that are tied by cross members called
transoms
Among the factors need to be considered during the
design process of scaffold are as follows:

a) Easier to be erected
b) Strong
c) Light / Not heavy
d) Safe
e) Suitable
f ) Passage link / Passage connecting to
other places
Scaffold can be made of the
following material:

a) Tubular steel
b) Tubular aluminium alloy
c) Timber
STEEL SCAFFOLD

 Steel tubes are nearly 3 times heavier than aluminium alloy tubes but are
far stronger.
 Longer span can be used since it deflection is approximately 1/3 of
aluminium alloy tubes
 There 2 types that is:
- Galvanized steel tubes
- ungalvanized steel tubes that need special care ( painting, varnishing or
after use)
STEEL SCAFFOLDING
ALUMINIUM SCAFFOLDS

 Need protective treatment when they are to be use in

contact with materials such as damp line, wet cement
and sea water to prevent corrosion to the tubes.
 Coating the tube with bitumastic paint before using it
would be suitable protective treatment.
ALUMINIUM SCAFFOLDING
TIMBER SCAFFOLD

 Extensively used in the developing country

 Members are lashed together with wire or rope
instead of the coupling fittings used with metal
scaffolds

SCAFFOLD ELEMENTS

a) Standards
b) Ledger
c) Transom
d) Double coupler
e) Swivel coupler
f) Putlog coupler
g) Base Plate
h) Split joint pin
i) Reveal pin
j) Putlog end
COMPONENTES OF SCAFFOLDING
a) Standards
- These are vertical members of scaffolding,
supported on the ground or drum or
embedded into the ground
b) ledger
- these are horizontal members, running parallel
to the all and perpendicular to the standards
c) Transom
- The transom, a horizontal cross-section load-
bearing component which holds the batten,
board decking component used to make the
working platform
d) Double coupler
- the only real loadbearing fitting used in
scaffolding.
e) Swivel coupler
- Composed of 2 single coupler riveted
together so that it is possible to rotate them
and use them for connecting 2 scaffold tubes
at any angle.
f) Putlog coupler
- use solely for fixing putlogs/transoms to the
horizontal ledgers.
g) Base plate
- It is used to distribute the load from the foot of
a standard on to a sole late or firm ground.
h) Split joint pin
- A connection fitting used to joint scaffold
tubes
end to end.
- A centre bolt expands the 2 segments that
grip on the tubes.
i) Reveal pin
- fits into the end of a tube to form an
adjustable strut.
j) Putlog End
- A flat plate that fits on the end of a scaffold
tube to convert it into a putlog

BASE PLATE FOR SCAFFOLD
PUTLOG SCAFFOLD

 It consists of a single row of uprights or standards set away from the wall at
a distance that will accommodate the required width of the working
platform.
 The standards are joined together with horizontal members called
“ledgers”
 The ledgers are tied to the building wit cross members called putlog.
 It is erected as the building rises and mostly used for buildings of traditional
brick construction
 PUTLOG SCAFFOLD TIED INTO THE BRICKWORK
USING PUTLOGS OR TUBES WITH PUTLOG ADAPTORS
INDEPENDENT SCAFFPLODING

 This scaffolds has 2 rows of standards that are toed cross members called
transoms
 This scaffolds does not rely upon the building for support
 Suitable for use in conjunction with framed structures
INDEPENDENT SCAFFOLD
OTHER TYPES OF SCAFFOLD

Besides putlog scaffold and independent scaffold there

are other are other such as :
a) Slung scaffold
b) Truss-out scaffold
c) Suspended scaffolds
d) Mobile tower Scaffold
e) Birdcage scaffold
f) Gantries
MOBIL TOWER SCAFFOLD
SUSPENDED SCAFFOLD
TWO POINT SWING STAGE
Safety precausions

 Standard must be on the same level and vertically

straight on the base plate.
 The supporting platform wood must be supported
properly.
 Working platform must been equipped with safety
elements such as hand rail.
 Scaffold must be inspected at certain times.
