Wind Load on Integral-Lift Scaffolds for Tall Building Construction

Structural Performance and Design Method of New Mortise–tenon Full Steel-Tube Scaffold

“…Zhang et al [11][12][13] conducted research on cuplock-type scaffolds using the probability-based design method. Beale et al [14][15][16], Ao et al [17], Yue et al [18] and Liu et al [19][20] conducted systematic studies on stability capacity and design method of multi-span coupler-type steel-tube scaffold using experimental research and numerical analysis. Engineering accident analysis shows that unstable connection performance of joints is the main cause of scaffold collapse [21].…”

Mechanical properties of right-angle couplers in steel tube–coupler scaffolds

“…Many studies have been conducted recently on door-type modular steel [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], insert-type [10][11], cuplock-type [12][13][14][15], and steel tube-coupler scaffolds. Beale [16][17][18], Ao [19], and Yue [20] conducted systematic studies on the stability capacity and design method for single-or double-span steel tube-coupler scaffolds; these studies provided a reliable design method in practice. Liu [21][22][23] conducted several experimental and theoretical studies on multi-span steel tubecoupler scaffolds.…”

Design methods of integral‐lift tubular steel scaffolds for high‐rise building construction

“…They established a set of wind load calculation methods, by using random vibration theory, the differential equations of wind‐induced vibration of the scaffolds were established and the wind vibration coefficients of the scaffolds were obtained through the solution of the equations (Li et al , 2004). Yue also did some research on the ultimate bearing capacity calculation methods (Yue and Li, 2007).…”

“…It meets the requirements of safe operation for workers and the needs of construction technology at specifi c stages, such as at the stage of construction (see Figure 1), installation and fi nishing (see Figure 2). Because of these advantages, the application of this kind of scaffold has become widespread since the beginning of the 1990s in China (Yue et al, 2005). It was classifi ed as one of the 10 most promoted new technologies by the Ministry of Construction of P. R. China in 1994. There are a large number of unknown uncertainties during construction phase which is a short and important phase in the whole life cycle of building structures.…”
