    1. Definition
     A temporary structure from which persons can gain access to a

    brick laying, painting, etc).

     It includes
     Working platforms
     Ladders
     Guard rails
    2. Forms
    1. Putlog Scaffold

    2. Independent Scaffold
    Putlog Scaffold
    A scaffolding supported on one side by props or standards
    and on the other by the building itself.

    The standards are set away from the wall at a distance


    which will accommodate the required width of the working
    platform

    The standards are joined together with horizontal members


    called ledgers and are tied to the building with cross
    members called putlogs

    It is erected as the building rises

    Independent Scaffold
    Has two rows of standards which are tied by cross
    members- the transoms

    Does not rely on the building for support

    Every scaffold should be securely tied to the building at


    intervals of about 3.6 m vertically and 6 m horizontally

    Ungalvanized-
    Special care required- such as Painting, Varnishing
    Materials.
    Cont’d

     48mm outside diameter

     No protective treatment is required

     bind the ends with not less than 25mm wide x 0.9mm
    galvanized hoop iron (two fixings to each end).

     The strength of the boards should be such that Hoop iron


    they can support a uniformly distributed load of
    6.7 KN/M2 when supported at 1.2m centers
