Abstract

In order to reduce the cost of scaffolding usage in engineering projects as much as possible under the premise of safety and rationality, while avoiding the risk of leakage caused by holes left in the building structure by the scaffolding, a type of inclined tensioned steel cantilevered scaffolding is proposed based on the stress characteristics of traditional cantilevered scaffolding. Considering the actual construction characteristics, a comprehensive approach involving theoretical analysis, on-site field tests, and finite element methods is adopted to clarify the full-process design method of the inclined tensioned steel cantilevered scaffolding. Additionally, recommendations are provided for the practical engineering design and application of the inclined tensioned steel cantilevered scaffolding. Finally, the inclined tensioned steel cantilevered scaffolding is applied in actual engineering. The research results indicate that the proposed full-process design method is feasible, and the inclined tensioned steel cantilevered scaffolding is more cost-effective than traditional cantilevered scaffolding.
