Abstract

Some structural design concepts of tubular steel scaffolding are presented herein.
Factors that are considered in the design are loading condition, basic structural
element, bracing, foundation and ancillary fittings. Emphasis is given to the use
of modular frame scaffoldings according to the standards in some countries.
Finally, the result of system performance test on a typical modular frame
scaffolding system produced locally is presented. The results shows that the
frame system has high' buckling load capacity aiid complies with the standard
specification.
