q2: Partial area load (EN12811-1, 6.2.2.4)<br />

<strong>Scaffolding</strong><br />

This load has to be applied only for classes 4, 5 and 6. In those cases each platform is capable of<br />

supporting a partial area loading q2 on an area Aq2:<br />

Coefficient of Table 3<br />

The dimensions and position of the partial area are chosen to give the most unfavourable effect. One<br />

example is shown below:<br />

Wind load<br />

Following 6.2.7.4 of EN12811-1, two wind loads have to be calculated: the maximum wind load and the<br />

working wind load.<br />

Maximal wind load<br />

When the European Standard for wind loads is available it is used for the calculation of the maximal<br />

wind load.<br />

To make allowance for equipment or materials which are on the working area, a nominal reference<br />

area is assumed at its level over its full length. This area is 200mm and includes the height of the<br />

toeboard. (En 12811-1, 6.2.7.4.1)<br />

Note: For the purposes of structural design of façade scaffolds made of prefabricated components,<br />

design velocity pressures are given in EN 12810-1, 8.3.
