Tubular steel scaffolding is commonly used in Taiwan as construction falsework and finishing structure of high headroom buildings. Contractors often rely on their own on-site experiences in the construction of these systems because specific design and construction codes are not readily available. Consequently, a number of major failures have occurred over the years. This paper reviews the common types of tubular steel scaffolding used in Taiwan, and reveals six possible failure models for falsework and two possible models for the finishing structures. The findings are presented as reference for the construction industry and for future study in order to reduce the probability of falsework and finishing collapses. |
