FAQ

i work in construction.

Yes!

Another from the ministry of silly questions…I’d like to support a lightweight tarpaulin over my back yard. Single slope, high side attached to the house and low side attached to a scaffolding pole, running horizontally between two walls. Fair weather, no high winds or pooling. The run of pole would be 8 meters. The longest poles seem to be 6m, so I need to use a coupling. Will this be strong enough – ish? I imagine the most stressed point would be just around the edges of the coupling, so If I used two joints/couplings in the bar, wouldn’t I half the strain on a single one?Also if I made the joints at 1m and 7m would that be better than to have a joint in the middle where the most flexing will be?Also bit more expensive, but with Aluminium the bar will be 20kg lighter – buy will it be as strong joint wise?Will a tubular coupling be as good as a external one?If anyone knows.. Thanks!

The problem with your proposal is that you realise that the wind/rain could have an effect but chose to ignore the consequences if it occurs. 'Proper' scaffolding is designed and such an unsupported span would never occur in a 'normal' scaffold so the standard calculations would not work. There is also the possible effect on the walls, could they take an abnormal load? I would look at theatrical or music stage hire using trussed beams.

Hello, in a Construction project who is required to check the scaffolding equipment?check the installation? and frequently check the scaffold during the day?is it the Planning supervisor, Contractor, Principle contractor, CDM coordinator or Works manager

not all jobs are as big as the ones reffered to but I learned something here

above the ground by pulling on a rope weighting 6lb/ft. Set up the integral of how much work is required ( only the integrand)? Let x denote the height above ground.What is the total work?

Integral 0 to 85 [440 +(85-x)]x dx

is scaffolding a trade that i could emigrate to australia with?

Just a guess.. I would think all countries use scaffold at one time or another. However what type of scaffold do they use. There is actually a scaffold UNION. check that out. If anyone would know it would be them.

Would you get on a window washer scaffold on a skyscraper for $1000 ?

As long as it wasn't a windy day and the weather was mostly sunny and nice and warm. Also I would need all the proper safety gear.

Scaffolding construction specification is what? Do you know?

Short distance horizontal transportation2, the basic requirements of the scaffold: (1) sufficient strength, stiffness, stability;(2) sufficient area;(3)Safety, high altitude operation requirements;(4)Has the advantages of simple structure, convenient assembly and disassembly; (5) according to local conditions, local materials.

Scaffolding with children that is.

Scaffolding is a support structure in the early days of learning. Think of it in the same way as scaffolding for a building - in the early days, while things are being constructed, the scaffolding is needed to make sure the structure is strong, but once the building is strong enough to stand on its own the scaffolding can be removed, one piece at a time. It's the same with scaffolding for learning - once the child is strong enough in it's grasp of something, the props can be removed one at a time.
