Vertical and horizontal loadsVertical loads

Constant loadsSelf-weight of formwork according to DIN 1055 Part 1 - Design loadings for buildings.For weights of individual parts of the DOKA system, see DOKA brochures.

Effective loads (payloads)a) For supporting scaffolds:

DIN 4421 postulates a payload of 20 % of the self-weight of the fresh concrete on an area of 3.0 x 3.0 m(although not less than 1.5 kN/m² and not more than 5 kN/m²), and of 0.75 kN/m² for remaining areas.

b) For work and safety scaffoldings:As per DIN 4420 Part 1

Concrete loads(As per DIN 1055 Page 1- Design loadings for buildings)

Reinforced concrete 25 kN/m³Addition for fresh concrete 1 kN/m³

26 kN/m³

Horizontal loads

Pressure of fresh concretePressure of fresh concrete on vertical formwork - DIN 18.218

V100

For supporting scaffolds, 1/100 of the vertical loads should be assumed for the base of the formwork.

Wind loadsWind loads as per DIN 1055, Part 4

Wind speed Dynamic Wind pressure w for wall pressure q formwork (Cf = 1.3)

0 to 8 m above ground 28.3 m/s 102 km/h 0.5 kN/m² 0.65 kN/m²8 to 20 m above ground 35.8 m/s 129 km/h 0.8 kN/m² 1.04 kN/m²

20 to 100 m above ground 42.0 m/s 151 km/h 1.1 kN/m² 1.43 kN/m²over 100 m above ground 45.6 m/s 164 km/h 1.3 kN/m² 1.69 kN/m²

To obtain the wind pressure w, multiply the dynamic pressure q by the force coefficient cf (as a rule, thiswill be cf = 1.3 for wall formwork).

Horizontal loadssuch as tension loads from cables, thrust loads etc.

Lateral forces on balustradesHorizontal single load P = 0.3 kNin the most unfavourable position as defined by DIN 4420, Part 1

Shaft platformsStructural design diagram for telescopic shaft-platformbeams with gravity pawls or main beam heads

Legend:

I = effective span of telescopic shaft-platform beam (clear shaft dimension)

Effective loading: Formwork load (0.7 kN/m²) + effective loading divided over the wholeplatform area (at least 2.0 kN/m²). If reinforcement is to be stored on theplatform an exact loading calculation will be necessary.

Permanent load: Consists of boarding (0.3 kN/m² for 50 mm thick), transverse timbers(6.0 kN/m³) and estimated main beam section.][ 100 = 0.22 kN/m, ][ 120 = 0.27 kN/m, ][ 140 = 0.33 kN/m, ][ 160 = 0.38 kN/m

Width of influence: Proportion of the whole width of the platform to the main beam. Except forexceptional circumstances where more than two main beams are used thiswidth is always b/2.

Note: The reaction is limited by the pawl mounting / universal climbing cone 15.0plus cone screw B 7 cm to A = 40 kN.

Platform flooringto DIN 4420

December 1990

Live loads for platform floors

Scaffold category 1Category 1 scaffolds may be used for inspection purposes only. Surveying or control work on a facade would be anexample of such inspection work. Note that only one person at a time, bearing light tools only, may stand on eachsection of scaffold flooring. Manual handiwork in the usual sense of the term may not be carried out on a Category1 scaffold.

Scaffold category 2Category 2 scaffolds may only be used for work not requiring building materials or components to be stored on thescaffold. Scaffolds of this category may be used for maintenance work, for example, and in particular for cleaningwork on facades. The permitted load on the flooring may not exceed 150 kg/m² here. For a platform floor measuring0.60 m x 2.50 m, for example, the permitted load would be 225 kg. However, it must be remembered that in thiscategory, no single flooring member (i.e. scaffold plank) that is less than 0.35 m wide may be loaded with a weightof more than 150 kg. Category 2 scaffolds may also be used as protective scaffolding where the flooring used isappropriately designed.

Scaffold category 3Category 3 scaffolds may only be used for work in which the load from both materials and persons does not exceeda live weight per unit area of 200 kg/m². The materials stored on the flooring may not be set down by means of hoistingappliances.

Scaffolds of this category may be used, for example, for exterior rendering and plastering work; for coating, pointingor repair work; as reinforcement-placement or concrete-pouring scaffolds in the reinforced-concrete constructionfield, or as erection scaffolds in the fields of steel construction, shipbuilding and aerospace engineering.

The precondition for such usage, however, is that a passageway of at least 0.20 m in width is left clear where materialsare stored on the flooring. If machine rendering is carried out on these scaffolds, care must be taken to use onlypressure-gun equipment that can still be operated in an ergonomically acceptable manner on scaffolds of only 0.60m in width.

Scaffold categories 4, 5 and 6Scaffolds of categories 4, 5 and 6 may be used for work in which building materials and components are, as a rule,set down by means of hoisting appliances and stored on the scaffold. The precondition for such usage, however, isthat the permitted loads and surface pressures do not exceed the values stipulated in Table 1. Scaffolds of thesecategories are generally used for masonry and rendering work, tiling and stone-ashlar work, and for heavy erectionwork in the steel construction and shipbuilding fields. Where materials are stored on the scaffold, care should betaken - as with Category 3 scaffolds - to ensure that a passageway of at least 0.20 m in width is left clear on the flooring.

If brackets are used on the wall-facing side of the scaffold for repetitive (storey-cycle) masonry operations, thesebrackets must be compatible with the scaffold category of the main area of platform flooring - if, that is, they arepositioned at the same height as the main floor, i.e. with a maximum height difference of 0.25 m. If the heightdifference is more than 0.25 m, it is also permissible to select a bracket flooring that corresponds to scaffold category2 or 3.
