Method of calculating volumetric scaffold of monolithic slab formwork

Currently, when designing various residential buildings, there has been a tendency to use monolithic reinforced concrete to cover significant spans, often using structures with a complex geometric structure. This article proposes a methodology for calculating the permissible load on the scaffold racks from the conditions of strength and stability using the classical approaches of materials mechanics and structural mechanics for this purpose, in order to optimize the consumption of materials and to identify real "steps" of racks horizontally and vertically, while observing the requirements for such structures for strength and stability. Cases of non-standard arrangement of outside scaffold racks of monolithic slab's formwork are considered.
