General characteristics
JOINT CREEP STRENGTH
During static checks, creep strength must be considered and determined
through crimp tests in officially and legally recognized laboratories:
• Right-angle couplers with 4 bolts
average resistance:
resistance at 5% fractile:
permissible resistance:
• 4-bolt right-angle coupler with holding joint
average resistance:
resistance at 5% fractile:
permissible resistance:
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIALS USED
Materials having the geometrical and mechanical characteristics listed
below are to be used:
Tube Ø 48.3 x 3.2 in S235JRH steel
A = 4,59 cm²
J = 11,69 cm²
W = 4,85 cm³
i = 1,59 cm
σ 1 = 1600 daN/cm²
σ 2 = 1800 daN/cm²
LOADS
Load bearings are determined orthogonally and longitudinally on the
scaffolding façade and those acting on the single anchorages in accor-
dance with the regulations in force and the project calculation designs.
Determine:
F
= orthogonal load acting on the scaffolding façade and on the single
1
anchorage
F
= longitudinal load acting on the façade of the scaffolding and on the
2
whole scaffolding
Rm = 1915 daN
R
= 1756 daN
5
R
= 1756/1,5 = 1170 daN
Rm = 2855 daN
R
= 2717 daN
5
R
= 2717/1,5 = 1811 daN
SPLIT RINGS
The extraction strength of the split rings must be provided by the manu-
facturer and in any case it is a good rule to apply a safety factor of ϒ=1,5.
Ring properties to be requested from the manufacturer:
A
= area of the leg of the ring on the wedge insert
t
W
= resistance module corresponding to area A
t
σ = 1600 daN/cm² unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer
H= permissible resistance to the extraction of the ring using a safety
factor of x 1.5 on the completed withdrawal value supplied by the manu-
facturer.
