Scaffolding Load Capacity Calculator

Calculate Scaffolding Load Capacity (SWL)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Scaffolding Load Capacity (SWL) is:

\[ \text{SWL} = \text{DL} + 4 \times \text{LL} \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the dead load capacity (DL) is 200 kg/m² and the live load capacity (LL) is 50 kg/m². Using the formula:

\[ \text{SWL} = 200 + 4 \times 50 = 400 \text{ kg/m²} \]

So, the scaffolding load capacity is 400 kg/m².
