An Analytical Study for Safety check of Steel Pipe Scaffolding-Analysis of Wind Load and Load Combinations-

This study aims to assess the safety of steel pipe scaffolding on small-scale construction sites. It does so by comparing wind load coefficients and load combinations for temporary structures used in scaffolding design. Specifically, when accounting for the maximum wind speed and a workable maximum wind speed (10m/s), importance factors and solidity ratios were established for calculating wind loads on each temporary facility. These factors were then used to compare the results through structural analysis. Furthermore, through a comparison of load combinations that consider horizontal loads and the workable maximum wind speed (10m/s) with the load combinations considering solely the maximum wind speed, excluding horizontal loads, it was confirmed that incorporating both factors leads to a safer design.
