- Abstract:
This research examines the behavior of a large full-scale scaffold frame shoring subjected to pattern loads with various load paths. In this test program, sand bags were placed on the top of the scaffold frame shoring to simulate the weight of fresh concrete during construction. The routes of placing sand bags are based on the paths of placing fresh concrete in actual construction sites. The test results show that the axial tube forces of scaffolds just below the location of a newly placed sand bag increase sharply. In addition, the axial tube forces do not change significantly when sand bags are placed at other positions on formwork during the load path. It is shown that the effect of influence surfaces on the scaffold frame shoring is not apparent during the placing of sand bags. In addition, the maximum axial tube force of a scaffold subjected to different load paths is very close to the maximum axial tube force of this specific scaffold after the completion of the loading path. Thus, a typical uniform load as used for an applied concrete load in design can replace the actual fresh concrete pattern load during construction. Both lateral forces acted at the top of a scaffold frame shoring and the sidesway of scaffolds are small during tests. The regions of some larger axial forces in the scaffold frame shoring vary in different load paths.
