The difference in the load-bearing capacity of the brackets between the two welding methods
Thread Content
Hello everyone, please look at the diagram below – what are the differences between these two welding methods? Which one has a better load-bearing capacity for the scaffold? Why? Thank you.
Type I has a higher bearing capacity, as the circumferential weld around the root is longer than that in Type II； Type I has a large scope of limitation, while Type II is more common in practice.
Is 1 the so-called welding on the side? Why does the bracket diagram state that 2 has a higher load-bearing capacity?
The one at the back is better – it’s placed in the middle of the pillar, with iron embedded to keep it in place; the tension rods are properly arranged, and the angle irons look nice
Personally, I think the first option is better, as the welding surface has greater contact with the opposite end, resulting in a higher load-bearing capacity
These two welding bracket methods are those used in different locations in the SCI atlas, on the front and side of the wall； There is no such thing as a better or worse type of bracket; it needs to be chosen based on the installation location. Just ask your structural engineer and you’ll find out ； Then, with the same weld height and length, the second type has better load-bearing performance ； However, a large design margin is provided when using them; the rooting method is primarily chosen based on on-site requirements
The second type applies most of the force to the wall, while the first type applies more of it to the main body
