Layhers Allround Scaffolding makes an ideal propping system:

being both a scaffolding and a propping system it is economic and versatile

it has extremely high strength capacity values, is self supporting and is quick to install
Allround in standard congurations up to six metres in height is rated for the following permissible loadings:
with lifts of 2.0 metres up to 45 kN per standard
with lifts of 1.5 metres up to 60 kN per standard
with lifts of 1.0 metres up to 70 kN per standard
(see Tables 3a & 3b on pages 8-9 for details)
Permissible loadings can be increased considerably further by:
using Layhers reinforced base jacks and head jacks (U-heads)
additional bracing (ledgers and diagonals), and/or
joining standards with our unique twin wedge couplers
For example, a single 1.09 m x 1.09 m heavy duty Allround tower can support loads of close to 700 kN (see example on pages 11-12)
or even higher.
Appropriate static calculations should be performed to prove the appropriate conguration of Allround components for each
individual situation.

Depending on the scaffolding bay length, deck
type and load, Ledgers made of steel or alumini-
um are available in cylindrical tube, channel sec-
tion and reinforcement sections for higher loads.
The ledgers are deck beams, bracing elements and
guard rails.
The wedge lock connection ensures self-aligning
and rigid connection with central load introduction
between vertical standards and ledgers.
Safety is already assured in the assembled state
since the wedge lock already prevents unintentional
disengagement when the wedge is loosely
inserted.
Longitudinal ledgers can be omitted at deck level if
the decks are secured against lifting off by a lift-off
preventer.

Heavy duty towers and columns
11
In applications where the load-bearing capacities of traditional falsework towers are exceeded, it is possible to use the heavy duty
towers and columns using Allround Scaffolding.
Heavy duty spindles t into specially designed heavy-duty top and bottom collars. This grouping of the standards allows a large increase
in the capacity over individual standards. An extremely high load-bearing capacity is achieved by combining four Allround standards.
This support can be used in a number of arrangements with various load-bearing capacities: a heavy duty tower or a heavy duty column.
These arrangements can be further expanded by using Layher Allround standard components to cater for a vast variety of irregularly
shaped areas.

Overhang for walkways and softs
The Layher Allround support structures can be extended quite simply with the use of base collars or 0.50 m standards and
diagonal bracing.
Depending on the oor thickness and the position of the soft, one or two diagonals for each base collar or 0.5 m standard are normally
sufcient for a walking platform (Figure 12a).
A walking platform should be at least 60 cm wide and be tted with toe boards and guard rails.
If longer standards and several diagonal braces are used, the Allround overhang can carry much higher loads (Figure 12b). For such
overhangs static calculations are required.

Multiple support levels
After initial set a poured concrete oor takes time to reach its maximum strength.
When there are multiple levels of support scaffolding, the support structure of oors that are not fully cured will also have to carry part
of the load of the oor(s) and support structure above.
Depending on how fast construction takes place, the total load on the lowest support structure could increase to more than the weight
of two oors above.
Where multiple levels are to be poured in a construction process a suitably qualied engineer should be consulted.

Supporting a free-standing faade with Allround Scaffolding
Figure 14
Example of scaffold for free-standing faade
Allround Scaffolding may support a free-standing faade, for example during renovation of historic buildings. The scaffold must be
able to withstand the resulting wind loads and stabilisation loads. Individual static calculations are required.
The scaffold must be tied into the faade as shown in the example in the diagram below (Figure 15).

AllroundScaffolding_Propping-Technical_GB.indd 24 18.10.2010 09:47:21
Supporting scaffolds for free-standing walls and faades
In order to guarantee their stability, propping scaffolds must be equipped with ballast.
Always use allround standards with bolt-in spigots!
The amount and kind of the ballast depend mainly on the:
height of the wall
available space at the base in order to widen the scaffold
climatic conditions ( dynamic wind pressure)
WRONG CORRECT
do not load the ballast on the base collar level (no tension can be transferred) (see Figure 16 above).
dont use uid or grainy ballast.
carry out a static investigation.

Correct placement of Ballast

Embedding vertical standards in concrete foundations
If the load capacity of the decks, standards or transoms has been reached (due to wind, dead load of scaffolding and ballast) then the
standards may be embedded in a concrete foundation (see Figure 17 below).
