What does full scale platform design method verification look like?
Working platforms must be designed to carry the large loads applied from tracks or outriggers with a defined factor of safety against failure. The T-Value method allows designers to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity to which a suitable safety factor against failure is applied.
The only way to truly validate any platform design method is to conduct full-scale plate load testing – to failure. This requires a massive test rig and a large area for multiple tests. The University of Saskatchewan has developed unique expertise and equipment for this type of testing.
