3. Loads definition

3.1. Dead load

The dead load is constituted by the weights of the scaffoldi,ng pipes and circulation panels (DL).

3.2. Live load

Is constituted by working circulation and tools (LL). It’s considered here as distributed load over the

circulation panels. The valuie is 0.20 kN/m2.

3.3. Wind load

Two (02) cases of wind loads (WL) are considered :
- working wind depends of the wind zone from RNV 2013 :

Ouargla - zone 3 : qref = 0.50 kN/m2.

- Maximum wind condition : qmax = 0.77 kN/m2.

3.4. Load Combinations

Two (02) states are considered :
- Service Load State (SLS) (Unfactored Loads);
- Ultimate Load State (ULS) (Factored Loads).
SLS (Unfactored Loads):
1.00 * DL + 1.00 * FL + 1.00 * LL
ULS (Factored Loads):
1.35 * DL + 1.5 * WL
1.35 * DL + 1.50 * LL
1.35 * DL + 1.5 * LL + 1.5 * WL

4.6. Tiling moment

Moment due to dead load (favourable) is compared to moment due to maximum wind load (unfavorable).
Moment due to Dead load MDL (kN.m) 14.11
Moment due to maximum wind MWL (kN.m) 8.01
MDL > MWL OK

To ensure stability against wind, the scaffolding must be braced top adjacent wall.
