They are essential to it because these calculations save up much of the resources as compared to other methods like hit and trial etc. The calculations are based on the drawing of the infrastructure. Human injury and damage to property are one of the leading mishaps of inadequate calculations. If the calculations are not precise, it could lead up to a disaster. This is why the scaffold designs are always and must be supported by its calculations. Load is one of the major factors in setting of a scaffold as it has to with stand not only the dead weight and live loads but also account for environment loads like snow, rain, wind and/or earth quakes. The design ought to include enough parameters to provide safety to the people in the vicinity.

Scaffold designs should ensure the strengths, rigidity and stability as well as the safety of the people who interact with it ( erection, alteration and dismantling of the scaffold ). Generally the material used in making of these scaffolding are timber, steel/aluminum or proprietary equipment. Whereas the sideways scaffold orвЂќsuspended scaffolds вЂњare suspended by ropes via outriggers, parapet hooks or brackets attached to the building of structure. A free standing scaffold is not attached to any structure and is stable when it comes to overturning forces. Scaffolds are either held sideways by ties or are free standing. Scaffolds design and calculations provide adequate safety and working conditions for the employees. Although they are not included in the final structure but they play a critical role in making of one. Scaffold is just as important as the infrastructure they are used to build. Scaffold is generally considered as a framework of structure of a temporary nature to support works engaged in the construction.
