Project: Oman Convention and exhibition Centre

A. Design Data

Maximum Live load = 1.50 kN/m2

Formwork load = 9.15 kN for 4.5m2 (2.5x 1.8)


(details below)
= 2.03 kN/m2

Considering max self weight

Total vertical Load = [Link]/m2

B. Safe Working Loads

Cuplock Standard = 33 kN per leg @2.00m lift ht

Adjustable Base = 57 kN per leg

Ledger 1.80m = 6.37 kN (UDL)


Ledger 2.00m = 6.37 kN (UDL)
Ledger 2.50m = 6.37 kN (UDL)

Ledger 1.80m = 3.2 kN (Point load)


Ledger 2.00m = 3.2 kN (Point load)
Ledger 2.50m = 3.2 kN (Point load)

C. Loading (q)

1) Cuplock Standard

Total vertical Load for one leg = load per Sq m x Grid Area

= 3.53 x 4.5 = 15.89 kN

Safe Working load of cuplock standard with = 33 kN

Actul leg load < Safe working Load = 15.89 < 33.00 Safe

2) Adjustable Jack

Total vertical Load for one leg = load per Sq m x Grid Area

= 3.53 x 4.5 = 15.89 kN

Safe Working load of Adjustable Jack = 57.0 kN

Actul leg load < Safe working Load = 15.89 < 57.00 Safe

3) Ledger

Total UDL for 1.80m Ledger = 1.5x(1.8 (2.5/2) = 3.375 kN

Safe Working load of Ledger = 6.37 kN

Actul leg load < Safe working Load = 3.375 < 6.37 Safe
