Load Factors used for Temporary Works

[Kiri Robbie]

Thanks for the great talk Barnabas. What load factors are usually used for temporary works?

[Barnabas Ilko]

I am pleased to hear you enjoyed the presentation. 

This is a very broad question. Depends on the form of temporary works and their intended use. For example hoarding for overturning at least a factor of 1.2, for tower crane overturning a factor of 1.5, for a temporary retention system's overturning can be 2.0 and temporary lifting elements that are moved on rough terrain by tracking vehicle can be 4.0 or more. So there is a wide range of factors from low to relatively high dependent on the application.
