The numerical research of the strength of scaffolding boards

Abstract

Methods of the numerical modeling and the computer static analysis of scaffolding steel boards are presented in the paper. The main issue raised in the study is to determine the carrying capacity of scaffolding boards under the influence of special load cases, and analysis of results and the numerical singularity occurring in the linear analysis.
