Scaffold Tube Capacity

The document summarizes the calculation of the buckling resistance of a scaffold tube with a diameter of 48.3 mm, thickness of 3.2 mm, and length of 1500 mm. The buckling resistance Nb,Rd is calculated to be 52.32 kN according to Eurocode 3. The applied load Ned of 44 kN is less than the buckling resistance, satisfying the requirement.

Cross section qualification acc. DIN 1993-1-1 chapter 5.5

d = Diameter of tube = 48.30 mm


t = Thickness of tube = 3.20 mm
d/t = 15.09 mm

Fy,k = 235.00 N/mm
0.5
e = (235/Fy,k) = 1.00
Lcr = Length of buckling = 1500.00 mm

A = Area of tube = 453.16 mm

I = Moment of inertia = 115856.40 mm
2
E = Modulus of elasticity = 210000.00 N/m
i = radius of gyration = 15.99 mm
According to DIBt-Newsletter 2/2014 buckling curve shall be used for scaffold tubes. = c
Ncr = Elastic critical buckling load = 106.68

l1 = 93.9 x e = 93.90
lquer = (A x Fy,k)/Ncr = 1.00
lquer = (Lcr / i) x (1/l1) = 1.00

a = 0.49
f = 0.5 x [1 + a x (lquer - 0.2) + lquer2] = 1.19
2
c = 1 / (f + (f - lquer2)0.5) = 0.54
YM1 = 1.10

Nb,Rd = c x A x fy,k / YM1 = 52.32

Proof: NEd/Nb,Rd = 0.84 OK
