Investigating Lateral Buckling of Joists as a Cause of Falls from Elevation
Falls from elevation represent one of the most common construction safety incidents in residential construction. The focus of most previous fall-related research has been somewhat vague in the definition of the causes of falls as well as specific remediation. This research project investigated a particular fall mechanism - the lateral buckling of unbraced joists, particularly wood composite I-joists. The goal of this research was to explore the relationship between construction worker loadings and the mechanical behavior that causes lateral buckling of wood composite I-joists. This research project was novel in the study of a particular fall related mechanism, namely lateral buckling, which has not received much research interest. Intensive study of lateral buckling situations allowed researchers to formulate prevention strategies to enable workers to complete their task while reducing the occurrence of lateral buckling.
