Calculation method

Calculation method

Frame quantity (count)

Multiply supplied per-bay component counts by bays × lifts; no structural layout or load design.

Ledger quantity (count)

Multiply supplied per-bay component counts by bays × lifts; no structural layout or load design.

Bay-lift positions (count)

Multiply supplied per-bay component counts by bays × lifts; no structural layout or load design.

Symbols and units
a
Scaffold bays along length (count)
b
Vertical lifts (count)
c
Frames per bay/lift (count)
d
Ledger pieces per bay/lift (count)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Multiply supplied per-bay component counts by bays × lifts; no structural layout or load design. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
