1) Code Reference

BS 5975:1996 -Code of practice for false work

BS 5268-2:1991 -Structural use of timber

2) Load Consideration
Dead Load : self-weight of the container
Live Load : 2.5kN/
Formwork Load : 0.5 KN/ as per BS 5975

3) TECHNICAL DETAILS:

System Used: CUPLOCK WITH WALER AND ALUMINUM

Weight of the container: 26MT or 255KN

Maximum Grid Size Adopted Under Container: 1.0X1.0 M

MATERIAL TECHNICAL DATA:

Wooden plank:
Board (38mm Thick)
Aluminum Beam:
Allowable Bending Moment
Allowable Shear Force
= 6kg/m or (0.25 KN/M2)
= 8.75 KN-M
= 45.11 KN

Steel Waler Beam:

Allowable Bending Moment = 11 KN-M
Allowable Shear Force = 100 KN

Vertical standard leg:

Safe working Load = 35KN

Calculation of loading intensity (per M2)

Self-Weight of the Container = = 8.5 KN/M2
.
(Depth x Den. Of Conc.)
Weight of the formwork = 0.5 KN/M2

Live Load = 2.5 KN/M2

TOTAL w = 11.5 KN/M2

a)SECONDARY BEAM (waler) :

UDL on secondary beam W = spacing x w

= 0.3x 11.5
= 3.45KN/M
W = 3.45 KN/M, L=0.3M

. .
Maximum Bending Moment = = = 0.03 KNM

0.03< 11 KNM ------------------------ (SAFE)

Maximum Shear Force = 0.6wl = 0.6*3.45*0.3 = 0.621KN

0.621 < 100KN ------------------------ (SAFE)

.
Maximum Deflection max = = = 0.00042mm

Allowable deflection = = 0.833mm

0.00042<0.833mm ------------------------ (SAFE)

b) wooden plank:
..
Maximum Bending Moment = = =0.0172 KNm

Maximum allowable BM for 38mm thick scaffold Board as per TG 20:08 table 18

Bm permissible 0.48KNM > 0.0172 KNm

c) Aluminum Beam:
The load get transfer to the Aluminum beam, which are under wooden planks acting as a secondary
beam for the primary MAin waler, which are under U-head

Maximum Shear Force = 2.24 KN

2.24 < 45.11KN ------------------------ (SAFE)

Maximum bending moment = 0.52 KNM

0.52 < 8.75KNM ------------------------ (SAFE)

Maximum Deflection max =0.16 mm

Allowable deflection = = 2.77 mm

0.16< 2.77 mm ------------------------ (SAFE)

d)PRIMARY BEAM(Main waler ) :

Maximum Span of Aluminum =1.0m

Allowable Deflection = L/360= 1000/360= 2.77mm.

Load on Aluminum =2 x Reaction from Secondary

= 2 x 2.24 = 4.48 KN @0.2m c/c

Maximum Shear Force = 8.96 KN

8.96 < 100KN ------------------------ (SAFE)

Maximum bending moment = 2.69 KNm

2.69 < 11.4KNm ------------------------ (SAFE)

Maximum Deflection max =0.03 mm

Allowable deflection = = 2.77 mm

0.03< 2.77 mm ------------------------ (SAFE)

e) Vertical standard leg:

Load intensity = 11.5 KN/M2

THEREFORE LOAD ON ONE VERTICAL STANDARD LEG = 11.5x1.0x1.0

= 11.5 KN
Allowable load on one leg = 35 KN (STANDARD)

11.5 KN< 35KN-------------------- (SAFE)
