OPTIMIZATION OF MODELLING OF SUPPORT SCAFFOLDING
OPTIMIZATION OF MODELLING OF SUPPORT SCAFFOLDING

Summary/Abstract: Recently, there has been a shortage of manpower, especially in the construction sector; therefore, innovative solutions and technologies are being looked at in this area in order to alleviate and reduce the issues related to the shortage of manpower during the construction work. In case of the construction of bridges and/or industrial buildings, the main structures are high, and scaffolding is required to support them, the erection of which is labour-intensive and is very time-consuming. Until recently, scaffolding supporting loads in construction work have been selected according to the manufacturer's recommendations and are installed on site with great reserve. 3D modelling applications can provide a better understanding of the "behaviour" of scaffolding when exposed to external influences. In this work, a 3D model is created using the LayPLAN software package for AutoCAD. Calculations performed by the structural calculation computer program Dlubal Rstab to determine the first member that loses stability (stumbling) and the initial compressible part of the frame system are presented. The article demonstrates that changing the design of a scaffold structure while maintaining stability can significantly reduce labour costs and time.
