INTRODUCTION Alan White Design Ltd has been commissioned by APOLLO CRADLES Ltd as consultants to provide design and detailed calculations to allow the safe use and manufacture of the Aluminium X-beam as per BS EN 1999-1-1. The report investigates various lengths of X-Beams under various loading conditions from which the minimum values are then used to extrapolate an easy to read graph and table for allowable working loads for the various loading methods. This report is intended to provide the information necessary for scrutinising verification authorities to discern the relevant structural engineering aspects for this aluminium structure. This report provides the details of the loading methods and structural capacity of all members and their performance in the structure. The results for each loading method for a 3m, 6m, 9m, 12m, 15m and 18m X-beams are given and summarised. The overall recommended allowable values are then tabulated.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The X-Beams can be used in a variety of methods and a variety of locations and it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that the recommended results from this report are a suitable assumption for their usage of the system, all based upon restraint to top & bottom booms at 1.0m c/c.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY The X-Beam is made up a top and bottom boom both using Alu scaffold tubes, with Alu scaffold tubes verticals at 1m spacings. These vertical are then braced using Alu rectangular hollow sections in a 500mm wide X shape, with two of these brace systems between each vertical.

ANALYSIS Detailed structural analysis has been completed using STRAP structural analysis software. This model was subjected to the worst possible loading conditions to determine the structures expected maximum stresses. This model has been used to identify the member forces and deflections in the structure. Hand calculations have been incorporated to check element capacities and the maximum stresses were compared to the allowable stresses to verify the safety of the structure.
CONCLUSIONS The recommended allowable loadings for the X-Beam according to BS EN 1999-1 are contained at the end of the report.

Notes:
1. Above allowable loads may be increased by 1.11 for wind loading only 2. This table is provided as a guide only and assume all loads are applied at nodes. All scaffolds and structures should be checked by a qualified structural engineer. Loads indicated in italics and shaded are limited by shear. 3. Maximum capacity of a point load mid way between nodes is 15kN but overall buckling of the top chord should be checked if loads are placed other than at restrained loads. Compression chord restraint required at 1m c/c

From 18m X-Beam Results with restraint to compression chord at 1.0m c/c:
Notes:
1. Above allowable loads may be increased by 1.11 for wind loading only 2. This table is provided as a guide only and assume all loads are applied at nodes. All scaffolds and structures should be checked by a qualified structural engineer. Loads indicated in italics and shaded are limited by shear. 3. Maximum capacity of a point load mid way between nodes is 15kN but overall buckling of the top chord should be checked if loads are placed other than at restrained loads. Compression chord restraint required at 1m c/c
