Abstract

During the construction of building structures, the transfer platform is the main passage of materials entering or departing the floor, and it is an important facility for site operation. In recent years, a large number of construction accidents have occurred due to unsafe design and unreasonable site practices of the transfer platform, and serious accidents may result in injury or death. Aiming at the decrease of construction accidents of the transfer platform, this paper studied the force characteristics of the cable-stayed cantilever material transfer platform under varying loading conditions using the finite element method. The maximum load-carrying capacity of the transfer platform was obtained, and the most unfavorable position of the material load was analyzed. The performance in service of the transfer platform under various adverse conditions such as partial load and anchorage failure was studied. The results show that when the load area is less than or equal to 0.5m×0.5m, the maximum load-carrying capacity of the transfer platform is 8kN after considering the dynamic coefficient. When the material load is located in the middle of the transfer platform, the transfer platform has a good safety margin. And when the main girder anchor bodies or wire rope anchorages are not anchored, the transfer platform cannot be used.
