    Factor of Safety on Scaffolding

    That makes sense of course. So say then for top-quality manufacturer, prequalified welds, A36 steel, FS = 4 on ultimate strength of the steel? Regarding A36, is the compressive yield strength 36 ksi as well as tensile?

    Factor of Safety on Scaffolding

    I have a question regarding Factor of Safety on steel scaffolding. The resources I find state FS=4 on the structure. It is unclear whether this is FS=4 on the yield or ultimate stress of the steel. Thanks!
