Steel Scaffolding Calculation Engineering and Project Design Services

MUTO Steel Construction has designed many scaffolding structures with its experienced staff and its philosophy to create safe, economical, aesthetic steel scaffolding that offers ease of operation.

Adopting a human-oriented approach, MUTO Steel Construction fulfills the demands and requests of end users at the design stage, and provides consultancy services at the implementation stage.

Vision:

Following the latest technology to ensure happiness and satisfaction without compromising on engineering quality and ethical values.

Mission:

Creating rational projects for the design and project efforts of any kind of steel scaffolding structure in Turkey and worldwide to contribute to the development of Turkey and its citizens.

METHODOLOGY:

1. Steel Scaffolding Static Project Design

Selection of an appropriate section by computer-assisted means based on the spacing and load conditions. 

We use the following software for such sizing, manufacturing and installation works:

  • ETABS
  • SAP2000
  • STRAP
  • CFS

 

 

Static calculation and sizing works should be done as per the following standards:

AISI-ASD (American Iron and Steel Institute – Allowable Stress Design)
TS 498       (DESIGN VALUES OF LOADS IN SIZING STRUCTURAL MEMBERS)
TS 11372 (Steel Structures – Light Weight Steel Structures – Composed of Cold-Formed Steel Members – Design Rules)

3. Selection of the plating to be used for the steel scaffold:

Plating (galvanization)

C1      Appropriate protective coating from EN ISO 12944 Part 1 to Part 8

C2      Hot-dip galvanization and similar methods

a) Main components (e.g. brackets, tubes and poles).

Coat thickness: ≥ 28μm (≅ 200g /m²)

b) Minor components (e.g. fasteners, bolts, nuts, washers, pins)

Average coating thickness: ≥ 15μm

Hot-dip galvanized coating as per C3 EN ISO 1461 T

Coating thickness: ≥ 50μm.
