Through the experiments of four concrete composite slabs under static loading to compare their flexural properties (deflection, bearing capacity, failure mode), this paper discusses the influence of composite slabs flexural behavior on different length of additional bars and sectional effective height. The results showed that they will improve the bearing capacity effectively by reasonably increasing the sectional effective height and controlling the length of additional bars.

The United Kingdom and European codes for the analysis and design of tubular scaffold structures assume that the scaffolds are subjected primarily to vertical loads and to horizontal loads at right-angles to the scaffold. The effects of dynamic loading caused by large winds tend to be ignored and the code analyses often only require static loading on the structures to be considered. To investigate side loads, a scaffold frame built according to the UK standard was made and inserted into a testing rig. Five different load combinations were made to determine the behaviour of the scaffold under different side loads, which were varied cyclically to simulate different wind loads, especially when vertical loads were also applied. The results showed that cyclical loads affected scaffold behaviour, especially when the bases of the scaffold standards were not tied to the base at the bottom of the test rig. Changes should be made to the UK and European codes BS EN 74.1, BS 5975 and BS EN 128 11-1 for the design of scaffold structures to increase safety.
