Study On The Computation Method And Software Development Of Clip-holding Steel-tube Scaffold

Scaffold is a region that frequently occurred safety accidents in the process of construction. In recent years , there have been many reports about such accidents that caused substantial economic loss and casualties. Therefore, it is very important to design scaffold structures in a standardized and correct way and it's imperative to develop and apply construction software suitable for construction enterprises.The paper reviewed the development of scaffold technology in our country, introduced the classification of scaffold and analyzed frequently occurred safety accidents of scaffold. The paper contrasted and analyzed several theories about the calculation of scaffold, thus proved the feasibility of the "hinge point" theory. The paper studied the basic thoughts in developing construction software and developed the computer program of clip-holding steel-tube scaffold under the guidance of the thoughts. The paper made a detailed introduction about the whole process of developing the program, the selection standards of the developing tools and basic characteristics of C++ language.At last, the paper illustrated the basic structure of the program and some source codes. Two illustrative examples were also given in the paper to demonstrated the application process of the program.
