Intake - Design Calculation of Loading Bay

The document provides calculations to check the loading capacity of an intake loading bay that is 2.4m by 1.8m by 3.3m high. It determines that the bay's 15 vertical supports can each support 25.6kN, well above the required 65kN total load. It also finds that each of the 0.6m long ledgers can support the distributed 25.08kN load, above the needed 3.76kN. Therefore, the conclusion is that the loading bay can safely carry a maximum load of 8 tons.

INTAKE - LOADING BAY DESIGN LOAD CALCULATION & CAPACITY CHECK

2.4 M

0.6 0.6 0.6 M 0.6 M

0.6 M

0.6 M 1.8 M

0.6 M

1 SIZE OF LOADING BAY :

L = 2.40 M
W = 1.80 M
H = 3.30 M

2 BAY LENGTH : 0.6 M

3 SCAFFOLD TYPE : HEAVY DUTY - SPECIAL PURPOSE

4 WEIGHT TO BE LOADED INTO THE SYATEM SCAFFOLD LOADING BAY PLATFORM : 6.5 Ton equal 65 KN

5 AREA = 2.40 X 1.8 = 4.32 M2


6 UNIFORM LOAD ACTING ON THE PLATFORM : 65 / 4.32 = 15.05 KN / M2

7 VERTICAL LOAD SUPPORT OF THE PLATFORM :

NO. OF VERTICAL SUPPORT = 15 PCS


LENGTH = 1 M
LOAD CAPACITY OF 1 - VERT. SUPPORT = 25.60 KN
TOTAL LOAD BY 15 - VERTICAL SUPPORT 15 X 25.6 = 384 KN GREATER THAN 65 KN OK ( SAFE )

8 LOAD SUPPORT BY LEDGER


LENGTH OF LEDGER = 0.6 M
LOAD DISTRIBUTED ON THE LEDGER = 15.05 / 0.6 = 25.08 KN
MAXIMUM LOAD SUPPORTED BY 1 - LEDGER = 25.08 KN GREATER THAN 3.76 KN OK (SAFE )

9 THEREFORE : SWL THAT THE LOADING BAY CAN CARRY IS = 8 Ton


OK ( SAFE )
